The company has maintained stable gross margins, expanding by 60 basis points for the nine months of FY25, despite challenging market conditions. Proactive engagement with both existing and new customers has started to yield positive results, with customers viewing Punjab Chemicals as a reliable partner. The company has introduced new products in the domestic market, contributing to 15% of revenues, which are expected to deliver higher margins in the future. Capacity utilization across all three sites showed a positive trend, with the agrochemical division at 72%, performance chemicals at 52%, and industrial chemicals operating at full capacity. Revenue for the quarter and nine months showed a year-on-year decline of 5.3%, primarily due to subdued export demand and pricing pressures. EBITDA was impacted by elevated freight costs, operational costs, and one-time forex-related expenses, resulting in a 25.6% year-on-year decline. Profit after tax for the quarter decreased by 45%, with PAT margin standing at 2.8% for Q3 FY25. The LRU facility experienced a maintenance shutdown and product delays, leading to a decline in overall volume and capacity utilization. The company faced heightened competition and pricing pressure in certain regions, affecting its market position and profitability. Q: Can you elaborate on the contribution of new molecules to the domestic market and their impact on overall revenue? A: The new molecules introduced in the domestic market are intermediates and specialty chemicals, contributing about 15% to our revenues. These products are a permanent addition to our portfolio and are expected to continue contributing even when the export market recovers. (Vinod Gupta, CEO) Q: Why was there a decline in volume and limited contribution from the Lalru facility during Q3? A: The decline was due to a product mix change and a one-off product delay, which was expected in Q3 but postponed to the end of Q4. Additionally, there was a maintenance shutdown at the Lalru facility for about three weeks. (Shalil Shroff, Managing Director) Q: What is the outlook for the export market and pricing stability? A: The decline in prices has stabilized, and we expect demand to resume to normal levels in the next financial year as inventories are exhausted. However, demand flow will be on a quarter-to-quarter basis due to cautious inventory rebuilding by customers. (Vinod Gupta, CEO) Q: How are you planning to manage capacity and potential demand increases? A: We are reviewing deferred investment decisions and exploring process improvements and outsourcing options to meet demand. We are confident in our ability to cater to demand with existing infrastructure and some subcontracting. (Vinod Gupta, CEO) Q: Can you provide details on the one-off expenses and their impact on financials? A: The one-off expenses include forex losses of approximately INR 2.3 to 2.4 crore and repair and maintenance costs of around INR 10 crore. These expenses are part of asset renewal and upgradation efforts. (Vinod Gupta, CEO) For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Mahanagar Gas Ltd (BOM:539957) connected 98,469 domestic households in the quarter, reaching a total of 2.68 million households. The company added nine CNG stations, bringing the total to 361 stations as of December 31, 2024. Sales volumes increased across all segments: CNG sales rose by 11.44%, industrial and commercial volumes by 25.52%, and domestic PNG by 7.23%. EBITDA for the nine months ending December 2024 was INR1,131 crore, with a net profit after tax of INR793 crore. Mahanagar Gas Ltd announced an interim dividend of 120%, equating to INR12 per equity share for the current financial year. The company's margins have been impacted due to delayed price hikes and adjustments in the gas procurement portfolio. There is uncertainty regarding the implementation of the Mumbai High Court's directive to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles, which could affect future volume growth. The effective tax rate for the quarter reduced below 20% due to past tax assessments, which may not be sustainable. The company faces potential risks from foreign exchange fluctuations, as its gas purchases are dollar-denominated and not hedged. There is a concern about the competitive threat from electric vehicles, which could impact the growth of CNG vehicle adoption. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with BOM:539957.
