Vikram Somany, Chairman & Managing Director, said: “The overall market environment remained challenging through the quarter, with continued softness in consumer demand. Against this backdrop, I am pleased to report that CERA delivered a satisfactory performance in Q4FY25, maintaining stable EBITDA margins and improving operational efficiency. Our faucetware segment registered year-on-year growth of 9.6%, while the pace of de-growth in sanitaryware moderated. The sanitaryware and faucetware business segments accounted for 48% and 40% of total revenues, respectively. We continued to focus on cost optimization and productivity enhancement, which helped sustain profitability. While the timeline for demand recovery remains uncertain, the long-term outlook for the sector is promising. Rising income levels, improving standards of living, rapid urbanization, evolving consumer preferences, and sustained investments in real estate and infrastructure are expected to drive consistent demand for branded building material products. These structural trends provide a strong foundation for long-term growth, particularly in premium and value-added categories CERA is proactively undertaking steps to address these evolving opportunities. In line with this, we are scaling our premium portfolio, including the CERA Luxe and Senator brands. Backed by a clearly defined product roadmap and strong in-house design, manufacturing, and R&D; capabilities, we are preparing for a structured scale-up in FY26 and beyond. The initiatives undertaken today lay a solid foundation for CERA to capture emerging opportunities in the premium and luxury segments. In addition, during FY25, the Company undertook several strategic initiatives. We expanded our product range with the launch of approximately 431 new SKUs across CERA, CERA Luxe and Senator. Retailer Loyalty Program continued to see strong participation, which now covers over 24,400 retailers. Our expanded faucetware capacity and growing B2B contribution supported momentum amid a muted retail environment. We also strengthened our market presence with the opening of 342 new stores, 17 Senator stores and 4 company-owned experience centres in FY25. With over four decades of industry expertise, a strong brand, prudent financial management, and robust operational capabilities, CERA is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities as market conditions improve.” Result PDF
