Management Commentary:

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Sukumar Srinivas, Managing Director, Shankara Building Products Ltd said: Despite the challenges faced by the building materials industry in recent times, we`re delighted to announce a 22% year-on-year revenue growth during the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. Particularly encouraging is the impressive growth of our non-steel revenues, which have grown by nearly 35% year- on-year. We attribute this success to our proactive strategy of strengthening our value-added product portfolio, including the successful introduction and expansion of our private label in tiles, Fotia Ceramica.

Furthermore, our profitability for this quarter has shown a noticeable improvement compared to previous periods, reflecting our focused efforts in bolstering both our value-added steel segment and non-steel business. We remain committed to leveraging our digital presence and are actively exploring opportunities for strategic collaborations in the digital realm to augment our existing omni-channel strategy. Through these initiatives, we aim to revolutionize our ecosystem with technology and innovation.

In line with our strategic objectives, we are in the process of demerging our building materials marketplace, which has consistently delivered significant value. This move will streamline our business structure, enabling a more focused capital allocation strategy and heightened emphasis on value-adding avenues under our new generation management. Ultimately, our goal is to unlock substantial value for all stakeholders in the months and years ahead.”
