SRF Limited Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2022 Financial Results

Gurugram, May 09, 2022: SRF Limited, a chemical based multi-business entity engaged in the manufacturing of industrial and specialty intermediates today announced its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2022. The company’s audited results were approved by the Board of Directors in a meeting held today.

Consolidated Q4FY22 Financials

The consolidated revenue of the company grew 36% from ₹2,608 crore to ₹3,549 crore in Q4FY22 when compared with Corresponding Period Last Year (CPLY). The company’s Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) increased 52% from ₹575 crore to ₹876 crore in Q4FY22 when compared with CPLY. The company’s Profit after Tax (PAT) increased 59% from ₹381 crore to ₹606 crore in Q4FY22 when compared with CPLY.

Commenting on the results, Chairman & Managing Director, Ashish Bharat Ram said, “We are closing FY22 on a strong note, with significant growth witnessed in our Chemicals Business and our other businesses too. With a strong CAPEX pipeline and our emphasis on enhancing our capabilities, I remain optimistic of our continued success in the future.”

Consolidated Q4FY22 Segment Results

The Chemicals Business reported an increase of 36% in its segment revenue from ₹1,153 crore to ₹1,572 crore during Q4FY22 over CPLY. The operating profit of the Chemicals Business increased 83% from ₹275 crore to ₹504 crore in Q4FY22 over CPLY. During the quarter, the Fluorochemicals Business performed very well on account of higher sales realizations from the refrigerants and chloromethanes segments, in both the domestic and exports markets. We believe that this trend is likely to continue. Furthermore, strong demand for flagship products and downstream derivatives augured well for the Specialty Chemicals Business. Continued focus on cost reduction initiatives through processimprovement and optimization of asset utilization in both segments of the Chemicals Business contributed to the overall growth.

The Packaging Films Business reported an increase of 42% in its segment revenue from ₹980 crore to ₹1,390 crore during Q4FY22 when compared with CPLY. The operating profit of the Packaging Films Business increased 26% from ₹219 crore to ₹276 crore in Q4FY22 over CPLY. The demand for both BOPET and BOPP films remained buoyant. The Business performed exceedingly well in the overseas markets, and we gained from higher volumes from our recent capitalizations of the BOPET plant in Hungary and BOPP plant in Thailand.

The Technical Textiles Business reported an increase of 24% in its segment revenue from ₹401

crore to ₹497 crore during Q4FY22 over CPLY. The operating profit of the Technical Textiles Business increased 26% from ₹73 crore to ₹91 crore in Q4FY22 over CPLY.
