| MANAGEMENT COMMENTS |
| Mr Atul Chaturvedi, Executive Chairman |
“The company has displayed strong momentum, anchored by the Refinery division’s strong performance driven by firm international sugar prices and high export volumes. The domestic business was impacted due to lower production & sales volumes on account of drought-induced low cane availability and restrictive policies on Ethanol.
Our flagship Consumer Pack brand Madhur continued to grow. Further, higher net realization especially in domestic sugar and refinery businesses resulted in stable Q4 performance. Our consolidated total income has increased by 25% over the previous year. The company’s resilience is driven by its robust business model.
| Mr Sunil Ranka, Chief Financial Officer |
“Shree Renuka Sugars has delivered a stable financial performance driven by the strong topline and consolidated EBITDA growth of 5%. Though our company’s EBITDA is comparable amongst the peers, the interest cost has escalated due to the upward movement in the borrowing rates along with additional working capital requirements for our refinery division thereby resulting in a higher interest burden and impacting the profitability of the Company.
