    Revenues at Rs 12.6bn were down 13%yoy, due to lower than estimated fertilizer sales volumes and lower than estimated chemical segment revenues

    EBITDA at Rs 939mn (adjusted for EO of Rs 473mn) was down 34%yoy lower than our estimates. Increase in gas cost and ammonia cost impacted EBITDA margin which stood at 7.4%, lower than our estimates of 12.5%

    "We have reduced our FY15E earnings lower by 17% driven by weaker than estimated Q3FY15 results. We though continue to maintain our FY16E on the back of overall improvement in demand for the complex fertilizer business and improving capro-benzene spreads.
