Natarajan, Managing Director, Galaxy Surfactants Limited, said, “In a world destabilized by volatile macros, logistical challenges and elongated lead times, attaining the upper range of guided volume growth was a major positive in this quarter. We strongly believe the volume momentum should be sustained going ahead, driven by growth across all geographies. While volume growth of 8% was in line with our expectations, the EBITDA/MT came in at Rs 20,197/MT,slightly below the guided band of Rs 20,500 – 21,500 /MT. Higher freight costs due to the abnormal increase in Freight rates across all locations contributed towards this. Despite multiple challenges, we are on track to regain our profitability trajectory. There are visible signs of improving demand for our premium specialties, which should improve our overall profitability. Volume Growth across all regions and segments was a major positive this quarter.” Result PDF
