Management Discussion and Analysis
Quarter Ended December 31, 2024, Compared to Quarter Ended December 31, 2023
-
Net Revenue of ₹36.49 billion during Q4 CY24 was a decrease of ~10.5% as compared to ₹40.79 billion during Q4 CY23.
-
Carbon segment sales volumes during Q4 2024 were 619 thousand metric tonnes, an increase of 6.0% as compared to 584 thousand metric tonnes in Q4 2023. The increase in volumes was primarily driven by higher CPC volumes due to higher capacity utilization of Indian CPC plants post the relief granted on import restrictions. During Q4 2024, the average blended realisation decreased by ~16.0% on account of lower market quotations across all regions. There was an appreciation of the Euro against the Indian Rupee by ~0.6% and an appreciation of the US Dollar against the Indian Rupee by ~1.4%. Overall, due to the aforesaid reasons, revenue from the Carbon segment decreased by ~10.9% in Q4 2024, as compared to Q4 2023.
-
Advanced Materials segment sales volumes during Q4 2024 were 69 thousand metric tonnes, an increase of 11.3% as compared to 62 thousand metric tonnes in Q4 2023. The increase in volumes was primarily driven by higher throughput in our Chemical Intermediates sub-segment. During Q4 2024, average blended realisation decreased by 3.6% due to fall in commodity prices offset by an appreciation of the Euro against the Indian Rupee by ~0.6%. Due to the aforesaid reasons, revenue from the Advanced Materials segment increased by ~7.3% during Q4 2024, as compared to Q4 2023.
-
Cement segment revenue decreased by 38.1% during Q4 2024 as compared to Q4 2023 due to decrease in realisations by 12.4% and decrease in volumes by 29.4% due to consolidation of market.
-
During Q4 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was ₹3,902 million, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ₹2,779 million achieved during Q4 2023, an increase of ₹1,123 million.
-
Carbon segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by ₹883 million, as compared to Q4 2023, driven primarily by increased volumes, and appreciation of the US Dollar and the Euro against the Indian Rupee which was partially offset by decrease in realisations.
-
Advanced Materials segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by ₹897 million as compared to Q4 2023 due to increased volumes and appreciation of the Euro against the Indian Rupee partially offset by fall in commodity prices.
-
Cement segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by ₹657 million due to decreased realisations coupled with decreased volumes and a marginal increase in operating costs.
