Key positives
- Revenue increased 6.59% YoY to ₹34,981.09 lakh, with MDF revenue up 6.71% to ₹31,664.02 lakh.
- MDF segment result turned positive at ₹3,630.00 lakh from a ₹1,132.14 lakh loss YoY, the principal driver of the group-level recovery.
- Gross margin expanded 485bps YoY to 52.73% as inventory-adjusted material cost declined to 47.27% of revenue from 52.12%; the filing does not disclose whether this is sustainable.
- Finance costs declined 41.28% YoY to ₹558.24 lakh, reducing pressure below the operating line.
Key concerns
- PAT was only ₹122.52 lakh and declined 10.82% QoQ despite EBITDA margin improving to 9.29%, showing weak conversion from operating recovery to bottom-line earnings.
- Revenue declined 12.31% QoQ to ₹34,981.09 lakh, while plywood segment result fell 61.20% QoQ to ₹172.46 lakh.
- Employee expense increased 8.99% YoY to ₹4,043.45 lakh and reached 11.56% of revenue, so the margin recovery cannot be characterized as operating leverage.
