Management Comments :
Commenting on the results, Jose Jacob, Chairman & Managing Director, Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited said, “We are pleased to report that all of our businesses performed as expected during the year. Our new contracts in Varanasi, Jhansi, and Noida are progressing well, as we begin full operations in these cities, resulting in a 31.4% increase in total operating revenue. In Q4FY22, our total operating revenue increased by 22% year on year, reflecting increased activity from our new Contracts and the price escalation benefit in our tipping fees. Operating EBITDA has improved by 35% YoY and our consolidated PAT registered a growth of 63% YoY in Q4 FY22. CARE Ratings assigned BBB/Stable rating to the long-term bank facilities and reaffirmed the short-term bank facilities at A3 rating. The rating upgrade has enabled us to negotiate lower interest rates thereby reducing our cost of borrowings and improving profitability. In FY22, even after being impacted by COVID-19, we saw volume growth in our MSW C&T segment because of addition in contracts and increased activities in our new contracts. The biomining of our first cell in Kanjurmarg is progressing well, and the quality of compost and RDF produced are in line with our expectations. The groundwork / pre-operational activities for our Greater Noida bio-mining project were completed during the year, and we expect revenues to flow at full capacity beginning in FY23. Our Pimpri Chinchwad Waste to Energy Project is on track and is expected to be operational by March 2023. We expect the results of the contracts that we have submitted bids for, to be announced in the forthcoming months, and we are optimistic about the same. Our business visibility remains strong in a medium to long term perspective. We are confident of continued growth momentum on back of increase in urbanization and willingness of various municipal corporations to award solid waste management services to a strong technology-backed player like us. There are significant tailwinds and are confident that growth momentum will continue for all of our businesses in coming years."
