"We
gained market share again in FY24 and as a milestone crossed Rs.10,000 crores
in revenue and PAT of Rs. 1,000 crores on a stand-alone basis, a significant
event on our 100 th year in India.
Our
Q4FY24 sales were at a healthy double digit volume growth. The value growth was
adversely impacted by a massive 4%+ price reduction in the year, an increased
contribution of high-volume low value products and a lower than expected sale
in the luxury segment from the anticipation of a price reduction in this
segment.
On
the profitability front in Q4FY24, while the gross margins were maintained the
ebidta reduced due to the one-off effect of subsidy received in Q4FY23,
negative operating leverage on account of fixed cost on lower value base &
the incremental operating cost of the new Sandi/a plant as well as the
conscious call taken on brand building efforts leading to an increased advertisement
expenditure.
On
the whole the company did much better on an annual basis for FY24 delivering a
stellar double digit improvement in profitability with all the business lines
delivering well with strong double digit volume growths and improvements in
profitability especially in the industrial segment. We continue to be focussed
on the waterproofing & construction chemicals segment where we saw
exceptional growths this year and expect this trend to continue in the years
ahead. We remain confident of an improved demand scenario in the upcoming year
a.nd have prepared for the same with the launch of multiple innovative new
products in the paint, coatings and waterproofing segments to ensure that we
provide relevant solutions to the changing needs of our customers. " said Abhijit Roy, Managilng Director
& CEO of Berger Paints India Limited.
