Rossari Biotech’s consolidated revenue stood at INR 4,106 Mn for Q1FY24 which grew by 1% on a QoQ basis (-5.5% YoY) due to muted performance from subsidiaries and stable exports. On a standalone basis, revenue stood at INR 2,583 Mn (-2% QoQ/+10.5% YoY). The company reported steady numbers during the quarter despite weak macroeconomic environment. The consolidated EBITDA for the quarter stood flat at INR 577 Mn on a YoY basis and grew 5.8% on a QoQ basis. The EBITDA margin during the quarter stood at 14.1% as compared to 13.3% in Q1FY23 translating to an increase of 78bps YoY and 65 bps QOQ from 13.4% in Q4FY23. Improvement in margin is mainly attributable to efficient management of raw material price volatility and focus on high margin products. For Q1FY24, Rossari reported a flat net profit of INR 292 Mn (2.0% YoY, 1.2% QoQ). The quarter’s PAT margins also remained at 7.1% (+53 bps YoY, -1 bp QoQ).
