Earnings Call Transcript - Q4FY20 for Ester Industries
Conference Call with Ester Industries Management and Analysts on Q4FY20 and Full Year Earnings Performance and Outlook. Listen to the full earnings transcript. Key Highlights from Management Despite the nationwide lockdown due to Covid-19 pandemic at the end of the year, we have reported a strong financial performance during the fiscal. The profitability growth was largely driven by robust performance of our Film & Specialty Polymers businesses. Specialty Polymer business has had one of its best performances till date on the back of good demand and consistent product off-take. The performance of both MB03 and innovative PBT showed marked improvement over the previous year. While Covid19 may have moderated growth momentum for a few months, we are confident of catching up soon, as business fundamentals continue to be structurally strong. We are also confident of even better prospects & outlook for the business going forward on the back of certain high margin products under development. Film business continued to perform well on the back of increasing volumes and realizations. A strong demand from our International clients also contributed to the overall growth of the business. Through various initiatives, we were able to enhance productivity on sustainable basis by about 11%. In addition to enhanced production, improved margins have contributed towards significantly improved profitability of the SBU. We are continuously taking initiatives to further enhance productivity over the coming years. Further our attempts towards improving the product mix by increasing the share of value added products should help us maintain the momentum. As regards Engineering Plastics SBU, though performance during FY 20 is better than FY 19, the business continues to face challenges that are aggravated by the Covid19 outbreak, primarily on account of slowdown in the auto as well as electrical & electronic sectors. This SBU is likely to face challenges in the near term amidst Covid 19 pandemic in terms of lower volume offtake. We are nonetheless undertaking steps towards reviving the business. We do not expect return to normalcy before second half of the current financial year. Given enhanced demand for packaged food & other items, there is a need to enhance capacity in Film SBU. Due to uncertainties created by Covid19, we had put on hold the implementation of the expansion announced in March 2020, but active steps are now being taken to begin the implementation of this project. We continue to repose confidence in the potential and resilience of the business Strong performance of Film & Specialty polymers businesses resulted in higher profitability growth in FY20 Increasing volume & enhanced margins in Film business led to significantly improved profitability. Stellar performance from high margin Specialty Polymers business – 85% volume growth, 140% revenue growth, 28X profitability expansion Strong operational performance, coupled with improved efficiencies and lower interest outgo contributed to 3x profitability in FY20.
