Margin guidance

Category 2
  • The company expects progressive improvement in earnings and operating performance through FY '24, building on gains seen in Q3 and Q4 FY '23.
  • EBITDA margins are anticipated to stabilize in the 18-21% range, with targeted return on capital employed (ROCE) around 15%.
  • Capacity utilization is expected to improve further, supporting revenue growth and margin expansion.
  • Softening raw material prices and marginal easing of energy costs will aid margin improvement.
  • Demand uptick globally, especially from optimized client inventory cycles, will drive higher revenues and operating profits.
  • Interest costs are expected to remain around INR 48 crores quarterly, but deleveraging efforts continue, which will improve leverage ratios and reduce finance expenses over time.
