Analyst Q&A
Q. What is the margin trajectory you see going ahead?
Around 4% operating margin (PAT). EBITDA margin would be around 7.5% to 8%.
Q. Other expenses rose 132% YoY; is it related to the new facility or hedging losses?
No hedging losses; these are indirect expenses to support the 144% top-line growth, in line with the sales trajectory.
Q. Can the 60% volume growth seen in Q1 be sustained for the full year?
We stick to the guidance of 30-40% volume growth, but if demand is strong, nothing is impossible; we will update if needed.
