“The progressive demand improvement seen in the previous quarter continued into the 1st quarter of the year which enabled the achievement of a Standalone value growth of 12.7% for the quarter. The value growth outpaced volume growth on the back of the price increases with the full benefit to accrue going forward. Our performance this quarter was driven by strong growths both in Automotive and Decorative segments.

It was a positive start to the new year in spite of the unsettled environment resulting from the conflict in West Asia which led to disruptions in the availability and prices of crude and impacted crude based raw materials. This inflation in crude based materials led to some moderation in our Gross Margins. However, prudent financial control and improved efficiencies led to an Operating Profit margin slightly ahead of the guidance range and a strong PAT growth in excess of 25% on a Standalone basis and 29% on consolidated basis.

Our key focus segments of waterproofing, construction chemicals and wood coatings continued to register healthy growths supported by the new launches of “Kolor Plus” and the Metallics range in the premium segment. Network expansion and growth in low market share Urban markets continued to improve generating consistent value on these investments.

The strong automotive segment performance following the GST cuts and lower financing costs continued into this quarter also driving this sector forward. The remaining industrial segments only realized partial gains from their price increases which were implemented towards the end of the quarter and this led to lowered growth rates. However these gains will register fully in the second quarter which will likely bump up profitability and revenue growths for the company.

Our JV’s Berger Becker and Berger Nippon delivered strong growth this quarter. Subsidiary companies performed as per expectations.

The gradual improvement in domestic demand indicators across segments, markets and the monsoon progressing better than initially anticipated are positive indicators for the months ahead.

Forex volatility, geopolitical uncertainty continue to pose near-term margin risks on both supply disruptions and raw material inflation.
