Concall summary (2026-08-19)
AI summary of the earnings call transcript · tone: Neutral · source document
Guidance & outlook
- Rain returned in July, and we expect maize demand to pick up in Q2 FY27.
- So sir, if I then were to look at the full year for this Q1 for FY27, you ended Q1 with a 14% sales decline.
Growth & demand
- New Bajra hybrids now make up 65% of the Bajra volumes, up from 61% with volumes sustained through the season.
- 53% of the sales is the new products, new product contribution.
Margins & costs
- Operating margin stood at about 35%, the same level as last year, slightly above.
- Operating margins held steady at about 35% through the quarter.
Balance sheet & cash
- But coming back to buyback, that's again a Board decision.
Risks & challenges
- El Nino brought a weak monsoon and Q1 had one of the shortest sowing windows of recent seasons with less rain through the quarter.
- This is a big jump in single year, and it shows the farmers are choosing our newer hybrids despite challenges from illegal cotton and reduced sowing acreages.
