Management Comment:

Commenting on performance, Mr. Ketan Patel, Chairman & Managing Director of Creative Newtech Ltd. said:

The Company delivered a strong performance in the third quarter, reflecting its resilience amid evolving market conditions. This achievement reflects our commitment to innovation, client satisfaction, and market adaptability.

In the nine months ended December 2024, our total income was reported at Rs. 1,308.11cr. EBITDA and PAT increased 17.16% and 24.93 % YoY to Rs. 33.33 cr. and Rs.19.09cr., respectively. Growth in margins was driven by operational efficiencies and higher contribution from Honeywell and FMSG brands.

Our Honeywell product suite, now comprising structure cabling, connectivity solutions, air purifiers, and home audio, is doing well. While air purifiers do exceptionally well during the peak season, the Home Audio segment is particularly promising given the rapid growth of India’s audio market, and we are optimistic about establishing a robust presence.

We have strengthened our presence across all major platforms, ensuring easy access for our customers. Our products including air purifiers, home audio systems, and connectivity cables, are widely available on e-commerce giants as well as quick-commerce platforms like Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and Blinkit. This expansion reflects our commitment to convenience, speed, and seamless product availability in today’s fast-paced market.

As we move ahead, we remain optimistic about the opportunities ahead. I extend my sincere appreciation to our dedicated team, whose relentless efforts continue to drive the Company forward.”
