SRF posted muted 1QFY25, with a material decline in operating profitability (EBIT down 20% YoY), due to the continuing weakness in the Chemical businesses.

SRF witnessed a challenging year (revenue/EBITDA down ~12%/27% YoY), with multiple headwinds plaguing its business segments. The chemicals and packaging businesses inhibited SRF’s overall performance, while the technical textiles business remained flat. Due to this, the capex intensity also waned in FY24.

Revenue for the quarter of Rs. 3570 crore was down 7% y-o-y and up 17% q-o-q. Chemical/ Technical textiles/packaging films segments grew 30%/8%/2% q-o-q and -14%/2%/9% y-o-y. Growth was affected due to the weak external environment in specialty chemicals and fluorochemicals.

SRF reported another subdued operating performance in 4QFY24 with a
significant decline in operating profitability (EBIT down 34% YoY), due to the
continuing weakness in the Chemical/Packaging Film businesses (EBIT dipped
33%/19% YoY), which offset the strong performance in the Technical Textile
business (EBIT jumped 44% YoY).
