Speaking on the results, Rajesh Bhatia, Group CFO at UFlex Limited said, "Although the quarter witnessed steep increase in raw materials prices coupled with availability issues, we managed to deliver a strong performance to wrap up the year. Our EBIDTA margins for Q4 FY20-21 improved to 20.1% vs 15.6% for the same quarter last fiscal. We will be doubling our capacity in aseptic packaging and commissioning more packaging films lines in FY22 in line with our earlier announced capacity expansion. Continuing with expansion of our packaging film capacities, we commissioned a brownfield BOPP film line in Egypt with a capacity of 42,000 TPA." He further added, "In FY22, I expect higher volumes from our newly set-up capacities and shall strive to maintain EBITDA margins of 20%. "

Ashok Chaturvedi, Chairman & Managing Director, UFlex Limited stated, "Our business network has weathered the disruption whilst also demonstrating resilience to cope with the ever-changing demands of the sector. We commissioned three of our projects- a BOPET film line in Russia and Poland each, and a BOPP film line in Egypt - thus gaining a wider reach globally. " (} -~

Continuing, he said, "The pandemic did not dampen our focus on ESG practices and we continued to accentuate our efforts on this front. After the success of post-consumer multi-layer mixed plastic waste and PET bottle waste recycling lines at Noida in India, we are in the process of replicating these at our overseas locations, at an even larger scale. At our Mexico facility, we are setting up plant to upcycle postconsumer PET bottles waste into high recycled content polyester peR films, for flexible packaging applications and also propose to set up facilities to recycle post-consumer multi-layer mixed plastic waste to make molded, injection molded and extrusion molded components, both of which shall contribute to a circular plastic economy. In Poland, again, we are setting up plant to recycle post-consumer multi-layered mixed plastic waste to make various molded components."
