Dear Members of Aegis Logistics Limited,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank you all for your kind presence here today.
The company has made significant efforts to enable shareholders to participate in this AGM and vote on the items being considered in the meeting as per the guidance of the MCA and the SEBI.
I would like to share with you the highlights of the progress made by Aegis Group since we met in the previous AGM.
We have successfully commenced our joint venture with Royal Vopak NV. Furthermore, the financial performance for the whole year of FY 22-23 has been outstanding with Profit after Tax for the group increasing to INR 511 crore versus INR 385 crore in the previous year, a rise of 33% and resulting in Earnings per Share of Rs 13.19.
The company remains in a strong financial position with a low debt to equity ratio of 0.24 and no net debt on 31 March 2023 on a consolidated basis.
Looking to the future, no responsible corporate citizen can avoid the issue of sustainability. I am pleased to say in this regard that we have incorporated it into our mission which is to distribute and store bulk liquids and gases in a safe and sustainable manner, and our company's purpose therefore, is to support India's transition to a more sustainable future. Our business strategy is consistent with
this mission and we have, along with our JV partners, embarked on a large scale growth programme to build world class terminalling and distribution facilities for liquids and gases all over India incorporating the highest environmental and safety standards.
I want to thank the Board of Directors for their immense support during what has been a very busy and fruitful year for the Group. I am also grateful to all our stakeholders for their consistent and resolute support and confidence in us. I also wish to acknowledge the contribution of our employees who execute our mission on a daily basis.
Raj K. Chandaria (Chairman of the Meeting) 28[th] July, 2023
