Management Comments:
In a statement, Vayu Garware, CMD, Garware Technical Fibres Ltd. said, “H1 FY 24 has shown a strong recovery in margins with PBT of 19%, which we expect to maintain going forward. Profit before tax grew by 28% in H1 FY24 over previous year H1. This good performance has been driven by improved product mix and growth in new products in the global aquaculture segment as well as improvement in our domestic businesses compared to H1 last year. Geosynthetics business continued its strong growth momentum both on topline and profits. Free Cash Flow from operations has also improved significantly over previous year H1.
Topline during second quarter was largely impacted due to the pass through of lower raw material and international logistics costs against earlier periods.
We hope to continue our profit growth in FY24 vs FY23 in the second half.”
