Agricultural Products company Godrej Agrovet announced Q1FY25 results: The Company reported consolidated revenues from operations of Rs 2,350.8 crore in Q1FY25 as compared to Rs 2,510.2 crore in Q1FY24 Consolidated EBITDA increased to Rs 253.7 crore from Rs 206.7 crore in Q1FY24, a growth of 23% YoY Profit Before Tax increased to Rs 168.9 crore from Rs 124.5 crore in Q1FY24, a growth of 36% YoY Commenting on the performance, B. S. Yadav, Managing Director, Godrej Agrovet, said: Godrej Agrovet continued to demonstrate strong growth in profitability and margin expansion in the first quarter of FY25. The growth in profitability was mainly driven by robust volumes & improved realisations in the domestic Crop Protection business and margin expansion in Animal Feed and Dairy businesses. In the domestic Crop Protection business our segment margins improved significantly from 32% in Q1FY24 to 45% in Q1FY25 due to robust volume growth and higher realizations across most categories. In our Animal Feed business our segment margins improved remarkably due to favorable commodity positions while the volume growth was impacted due to subdued milk prices and lower placements. Profitability of the Dairy business improved significantly as compared to Q1FY24 due to consistent improvement in operational efficiencies and improved milk spread. In our Poultry business, volumes from branded products increased by 17% YoY and revenues declined primarily due to lower volumes in live bird business as business continued to focus on branded products. Astec LifeSciences was adversely impacted by challenging market conditions. The continued pricing and demand headwinds in the enterprise products resulted in lower volumes and also necessitated write down of inventories. Deferral in execution of CDMO orders further compressed margins and led to a sharp drop in Astec’s profitability. Vegetable Oil business suffered from fall in Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) arrivals and lower Oil Extraction Ratio (OER). Result PDF

S. Yadav, Managing Director, Godrej Agrovet Limited, said: The FY24 augured well for Godrej Agrovet in terms of robust surge in profitability over FY23. This growth in profitability was primarily driven by exceptional performance of domestic crop protection business, structural turnaround of dairy business, market share gains in Animal Feed and robust volume & margin growth in branded products in our poultry business. Domestic crop protection business delivered stellar performance primarily driven by higher volumes of in-house and in-licensed products. Animal Feed business recorded double-digit growth in volumes in cattle feed and fish feed categories and significant increase in segment margins led by softened commodity prices and higher realizations in the aforementioned categories. Our Dairy business achieved remarkable turnaround and returned to profitability. This was driven by focused efforts on improving operational efficiencies and improved milk spread. The Poultry business also recorded robust improvement in profitability on the back of higher live bird prices and increase in volumes of branded product portfolio. In our Vegetable Oils business, lower end-product prices, which came off record highs of FY23 and normalized during FY24, resulted in lower segment margins as compared to FY23. For Astec Lifesciences, FY24 was a challenging year as it was severely impacted by acute demand-supply imbalance which resulted in unremunerative realizations in respect of its key enterprise products. During the year, Godrej Agrovet also focused on achieving the long-term sustainability targets guided by the Godrej Group's Good & Green vision. We are one of the two agricultural companies in Indian agriculture sector to be included in “A” list – leadership band of Climate Disclosure Project’s (CDP) climate disclosures.
