Key Highlights:

  • Calibrated price increases as well as a sharp focus on operational efficiencies helped maintain EBITDAmargins in line with the previous 2 quarters.
  • The consumption rates of  key raw material, VAM, has continued to increase during the quarter. Q2 VAMconsumption rate was $2,491 per ton versus the first quarter -- by the previous quarter being $2,231 per ton.
  • Volume growth for this quarter at 1.2~1.5% for consumer & bazaar, approximately the same for B2B as well.
  • 10-15% premium is what the company tries to maintain across all its product categories, if the the premium increases above this number the volumes start to reduce.
  • Fully priced in, no more price increase expected.

 

Management Outlook:

  • Focus is to provide profitable volume growth.
  • Current ordering rate of VAM is in the range of $1200-$1400 per tonne which is significantly lower than the last quarter, so margin expansion expected.
  • However, other raw materials which contribute ~ 75% of raw material basket haven’t yet come back down to their pre covid levels.
  •  Core categories to grow at 1-1.5x the GDP growth, growth categories at 2-5x the GDP growth.
