AMD delivered an expanded margin despite COVID related challenges

Healthy top-line growth and profitability Commentary

EBITDA (Rs Cr)

Overall focus

  • Focus on building up differentiated product portfolio with 35-40% gross margin
  • Exit businesses that are taking time to scale
  • Continue to shave-off costs at 5-10% per year

Key business highlights

  • Sports composites and Mass Transports emerged as a promising businesses with clear momentum
  • 40+% of Composites business comprised of differentiated product-market plays
  • Industrial products focused on calibrated capacity addition and cost leadership
  • Human Protection closer to US market leadership

Forward looking commentary

  • Demand recovery
  • Export demand likely to be buoyant across most markets, especially US
  • Domestic demand likely to be muted until the festival buying resumes in mid Q2
  • Demand for AMD products will continue to remain strong
  • Supply side constraints
  • Temporary impact on production in Ahmedabad due to higher absenteeism in later part of April & first fortnight of May
  • Garmenting plants in Bangalore likely to remain closed for about 1 month
  • Cost push likely to keep pressure on margins, partly cushioned by fixed cost reduction achieved
  • Cotton, yarn and other input prices likely to remain strong in coming months
  • RoDTEP rates have not been announced
  • Debt Reduction
  • Lower capex and tight NWC management will help further debt reduction although debt for Q1 will go up temporarily as domestic sales will slow down and receivables go up
  • Company has sold land parcels and expects about Rs. 150 cr of cash realisation during the year.

Thank You!
