revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- The company expects robust volume growth, targeting around 40% growth in domestic MDF volumes for the remaining nine months of FY '26, excluding discontinued commercial-grade MDF sales. - Growth plans rely on recouping lost market share through aggressive volume-driven strategies rather than price hikes. - They anticipate improvement in plant efficiency and higher capacity utilization, especially in the new thin MDF plant, reaching 30-35% utilization this year and producing value-added products from Q3 onwards. - No major industry capacity additions are expected in FY '26 and FY '27, which may support demand and utilization. - Reduction in timber prices and implementation of BIS norms on unorganized players plus slowing imports will likely benefit organized players like them, aiding volume growth. - The company is focusing on cost optimization, operating leverage, and dynamic pricing schemes tailored to market segments to support volume growth without severely impacting margins.

margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- Company maintains volume and margin guidance despite Q1 challenges, aiming to recoup lost market share over next 9 months. - Focus on volume growth through aggressive market share expansion and cost optimization (variable and fixed costs). - Expected normalization and margin improvement from Q2/Q3 as new thin MDF plant stabilizes and achieves better capacity utilization (target ~35% utilization this year). - Reduction in timber prices and raw material costs likely to improve gross margins; approximately 2-3% margin expansion for every 5-10% timber price decline. - Operating leverage expected to improve profitability as volumes increase from current ~50% capacity utilization to higher levels. - No new major CAPEX planned for FY’26, supporting stable financial position with strong balance sheet and improving cash flows. - FX losses considered exceptional and non-recurring, not expected to impact future earnings materially. - Overall, earnings and margins expected to improve sequentially over rest of FY’26 with volume ramp-up and cost control.
