Gross profit margins also increased to 32.3% in Q1FY24 as against 25.4% in the corresponding period the previous year. However, the same contracted sequentially by 197 bps due to lower income in the first quarter, being the weakest quarter due to the seasonality of the business. The company achieved a PAT of Rs 739 lakh, up 68.6% against Q1FY23. I am very glad to share that we were able to increase the share of Pentonic in total revenue to over 36% as against ~ 30% in FY23 through a special drive that we undertook during the Quarter. During the Quarter we launched Pentonic G-RT, the Rs 40 gel pen, and I am excited to share that it has received an excellent initial response hence we now plan to do a full-fledged launch in the coming months. Your company continues to witness strong demand for Pentonic portfolio, increasing traction for our stationery portfolio “Deli” and growing share of higher margin products, which should enable us to achieve strong topline and bottom-line growth shortly as well.” Result PDF
