Other Income): Rs 162.74 million vs Rs 219.94 million, down 26.01% YoY EBITDA margin: 13.07% vs 22.32% Profit before tax: Rs 78.02 million vs Rs 189.76 million, down 58.88% YoY Profit after tax: Rs 169.54 million vs Rs 175.09 million, down 3.17% YoY PAT margin: 13.62% vs 17.77% FY23 vs FY22: Revenue from operation: Rs 4,236.12 million vs Rs 4,336.47 million, down 2.31% YoY EBITDA (Excl. Other Income): Rs 605.81 million vs Rs 1,082.35 million, down 44.03% YoY EBITDA margin: 14.30% vs 24.96% Profit before tax: Rs 447.79 million vs Rs 1,041.21 million, down 56.99% YoY Profit after tax: Rs 454.87 million vs Rs 958.74 million, down 52.56% YoY PAT margin: 10.74% vs 22.11% Commenting on the results, Chintan Shah, Managing Director, said, “Over the past decade, the Indian chemical sector had been growing rapidly. However, FY23 had been a roller coaster year for most of the chemical industries. Despite all geopolitical uncertainties, the Indian chemical industry showed good resilience. Many of the challenges are set to persist in 2023. Against a backdrop of fear of global recession and expectation of muted demand till H1FY24, Tatva Chintan continues to remain fairly optimistic about achieving reasonable growth. Most of the key raw material prices have dropped by 15%-25% which is also translating into reduced prices of the finished products. So, this becomes a big challenge for us to achieve revenue growth. Also due to muted global demand across most of the sectors, we are seeing continuous cost pressures coming from customers which would translate into slightly lower spreads on margins. I feel Tatva Chintan is fortunate with the timing of the launch of new products on a commercial scale during this financial year and also with the gradual rebound in the SDAs demand. Despite the challenging year ahead and even with the reduced product pricing we anticipate to grow by 20%-30% in FY24. Also, we anticipate slightly improving the EBITDA margins due to forecasted change in the product mix.” Result PDF

As anticipated, improved offtake in SDA segment is reflected in numbers of this quarter. EBITDA during this quarter was Rs 179 million, a decline of 25% YoY and a growth of 60% QoQ respectively. Net Profit was Rs 116 million, a decline of 49% YoY and a growth of 63% QoQ basis. During the quarter, prices of basic chemicals and commodities continue to remain very high. We have witnessed rampant currency fluctuations across various geographies this quarter, particularly adverse movements in Euro and Yen. Keeping in mind our long-term partnerships and associations with select key customers belonging to these geographies, we marginally reduced the prices and, in few cases, opted not to ask for price increase and absorbed certain increased costs ourselves. During the quarter, the inventory at consolidated levels have come down from Rs 2,030 to Rs 1,762 million. During this quarter, there is a marginal decline in power/fuel costs, and significant drop in shipping cost since mid-November. The solvent prices have started to rationalize since Q3FY23. By demonstrating our capabilities to run specialized chemistries, we are seeing a consistent rise in the confidence and comfort of large customers. There have been developments in R&D;, plant scale trials in various product categories during the quarter. The key watch areas would remain how the European energy crisis roll out over the next few months and how the demand revival for heavy duty commercial vehicles pans out. Also, with the China economy opening up, it would be important to observe how quickly their business rebounds. We are happy to inform that the capex at our Dahej SEZ plant is completed and trial runs are underway. Please note that nearly 93% of the IPO funds have been utilized so far. The expansion of R&D; facility at Vadodara is on finishing stage. Result PDF
