What could break the thesis?
Margins remain under pressure (EBITDA at 7% in Q4 FY25 vs historical 11-13%), but management projects a recovery to 10%+ in FY26. The contraction was driven by 'other expenses' related to scaling and EPR liabilities (Rs. 4-5 Cr impact). (2 stable, 1 easing, 1 high-severity)
“EBITDA declined by 2%, 12 crore, and PAT declined by 29% year-on-year basis to 4.8 crore, with the margins at 7.4%, and 3% respectively. Due to higher base cost, during the capacity ramp-up phase.”
The risk is easing as management expects gross margins to recover in FY26. While raw material price fluctuations impacted FY25 revenue by -16.3 Cr, the company is now implementing cost-saving measures like a recycling plant and solar power to protect margins. (5 easing, 2 high-severity)
“However, fluctuating raw material prices, which are passed on with a lag, are temporarily impacting revenue”
