Revenue/OPM of Rs. 1,543 crore/22.4%, up 29%/155 bps y-o-y was significantly above our estimates led by phenomenal growth in the CSM business. PAT grew by 40% y-o-y to Rs. 262 crore (19% above estimate), aided by a lower tax rate. CSM segment’s revenues grew by 42% y-o-y to Rs. 1,142 crore supported by high volume growth of 30% y-o-y and favourable pricing and currency impact of 12% y-o-y. However, domestic revenue growth was muted at 4% due to delayed monsoons. Management guided for 20% plus revenue growth (versus 18-20% earlier) for FY23 as for CSM biz.
