Margin guidance
Category 2- The company anticipates new product lines and capacity expansion to start contributing to revenue from Q4 FY19 or Q1 FY20, but no specific growth guidance has been provided yet. (Page 17)
- Management expects overall volumes to increase through better utilization, efficiency improvements, and debottlenecking in existing plants rather than through new expansions in textiles and Palghar segments. (Page 10)
- Commodity segments are expected to gradually shrink as no new capital will be deployed there; future capital will focus on higher-margin, sustainable areas. (Page 18)
- The ongoing CAPEX cycle is nearly complete by Q3 FY19, and from then on, additional cash profits will be used mainly for debt reduction rather than new expansion. (Page 15)
- Margins have been under pressure in textiles due to raw material cost increases and margin compression, but efforts in product mix and cost reduction are ongoing. (Pages 8-9)
- No formal guidance is given on future EBITDA or EPS growth; management prefers to assess progress over the coming quarters. (Pages 17, 4)
Order book
Yes- The company has received its first bulk order for BCF Comfeel, a proprietary product.
- Order position in the BCF segment has increased with new capacity coming up.
- Existing BCF capacity is fully utilized, but new capacity will take some time to reach full utilization.
- For the new BCF line (50% new product), initial utilization will be zero as it requires development; it will build gradually over time.
- The company has good visibility on 50% of the new BCF capacity with orders; the remaining 50% is for new product development.
- In textiles and Palghar segments, the focus is on improving utilization and efficiencies rather than new order inflow.
- Overall, new product lines and capacity expansions are expected to start generating business from Q4 FY19 or Q1 FY20.
