Standalone EBITDA decreased by 4.4% to ₹1,227.8 crore from ₹1,284.6 crore. Standalone Net Profit declined by 8.6% to ₹768.4 crore from ₹840.6 crore.

The company highlighted a standalone volume growth of 8.5% in the quarter and achieved its highest gross margin in 15 quarters. EBITDA margin was within the guidance range. The company noted progressive demand improvement over the latter part of the quarter. Investments in brand building and a negative scale effect impacted EBITDA percentage. The company continues to see healthy growth in focus segments like waterproofing, construction chemicals, and wood coatings. Automotive coatings and protective coatings also registered positive growth. Challenges were noted in BJN Nepal due to political scenarios, and SBL Specialty Coatings was impacted by a slowdown in the fan industry and a one-off expense. Joint ventures, BNPA and Berger Becker, recorded robust double-digit growth. Forex volatility and geopolitical uncertainty pose near-term margin risks. The company expects gradual improvement in domestic demand indicators to reflect in future results. Efforts will focus on network expansion, innovation, and brand building.
