Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • GRP Limited achieved 20% growth in income for Q3 and 9 months of FY25, driven by volume increases in Reclaim and non-Reclaim businesses.
  • Standalone volumes rose about 12% for 9 months, with a 9% increase in Reclaim Rubber volumes, despite subdued global tyre demand.
  • Domestic Reclaim Rubber consumption increased by approximately 10% in H1 FY25 against 3% growth in overall rubber consumption.
  • The company expects demand growth post-April 2025 driven by regulations mandating recycled plastic use, especially in their subsidiary's plastic recycling business.
  • New technologies and business lines (e.g., higher-grade Reclaim Rubber, tyre pyrolysis) are expected to contribute increasingly as approvals and capacity utilization rise.
  • Strategic focus on electrification and circular economy initiatives is expected to provide long-term growth potential.
  • Overall, GRP is confident of growth driven by regulatory mandates, increasing adoption of recycled materials, and expansions in product offerings.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • GRP Limited reported a 20% growth in income for Q3 and 9 months FY25, driven by volume increases.
  • The company sees the recent quarter as an aberration in gross margins, expecting stabilization and return to prior profitability levels.
  • Long-term growth is supported by increasing adoption of recycled materials and regulatory mandates (e.g., EPR for plastics from April 2025).
  • Expansion into new technologies and investments in new businesses may temporarily stabilize earnings but promise higher ROCE and margin expansion in mid- to high-teens consolidated EBITDA over the next 2-3 years.
  • Strategic initiatives in plastic recycling are expected to scale post-regulation enforcement, improving margins.
  • Debt draws will be in tranches aligned with capacity expansion investments, keeping leverage manageable.
  • While short-term margins in some product lines (e.g., synthetic reclaim rubber) were impacted, the company is confident of margin recovery and long-term profitability growth.
  • Earnings growth is expected from operational efficiencies, new product approvals, and increased circular economy adoption.
