The overall tone is informative rather than strongly positive or negative.
Laxmi Organic Industries Limited announced its participation in an Investor & Analyst Meet on May 22, 2026, hosted by Strategic Growth Advisors. The meeting focused on the company's performance for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. No Unpublished Price Sensitive Information was shared during the conference call.
During the call, management discussed the macro-economic environment, including the impact of the Middle East conflict on feedstock prices like acetic acid and methanol. Acetic acid prices saw significant spikes, moving from around $350-$370 to over $700 in March before moderating to $450-$470. Ethanol prices remained firm but without the extreme volatility seen in acetic acid.
The company noted stable to spiking demand across customer segments like Pharma, Printing & Packaging, Industrial Solutions, and Pigments in Q4 FY26. Logistics costs have doubled due to the Middle East crisis, adding surcharges.
Operational updates included achieving 40%-45% of peak revenues at the Lote fluorination setup and the successful startup of the world-scale ethyl acetate setup line, with dispatches to customers already commenced. Phase 1 of the Dahej project is operational, while Phase 2 chemical charging will occur in Q1 FY27, with revenues expected in the second half of FY27.
Financially, Laxmi Organic reported a 9% sequential revenue growth in Q4 FY26 compared to Q3 FY26, with margin improvements in both Essentials and Specialties businesses. However, for the full year FY26, revenues degrew by 6% compared to FY25 due to margin pressures, deflationary feedstock environment, and one-time effects in the Specialties segment.
The company also announced that Mr. Amit Jain will join as the new CFO on June 16, 2026, bringing over 30 years of experience in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Regarding Ethyl Acetate (ETAC) spreads, they improved from below $100 in Q3 FY26 to around $130 in January-February 2026, spiking to $220 in March and $250 in April due to acetic acid price increases. Currently, spreads are around $150-$160.
Specialties segment revenue drop in FY26 was attributed to a lost contract, deferred shipments, and the deflationary environment. The company anticipates growth in FY27 and FY28 with new capacities coming online, including the Dahej project impacting in H2 FY27 and the Hitachi plant in Q3 FY27.
