Abhijit Roy, managing director & CEO of Berger Paints India, The extended monsoons, adverse weather & flooding in some key markets made this a tough quarter although we saw strong traction towards the quarter end. This resulted in an almost flat quarterly revenue performance and moderate single digit growth on volume terms. On the profitability front this quarter saw one of the highest levels of gross margins in the last 10 quarters and our operating margin remained within guidance levels in spite of the continued investments that the company made in branding, advertisement and manpower to strengthen our market presence. Though the quarter numbers were muted, we expect that the second half of the year will be better in terms of revenue and profitability. We continued to do well in the focus segments of the Company, especially water proofing, construction chemicals, wood coatings and the premium plus coating segments. In addition, the company saw a healthy improvement in its network on the back of installation of 3,804 new colorbank tinting machines upto September, 2024. The mass volume range products however suffered reduced demand due to inclement weather leading to the muted numbers reported for the quarter. Operating profit for the quarter, while healthy, had a negative growth rate. Three factors contributed to this, (a) scale effect, (b) our investment in new manpower and (c) increased investment in advertising and brand building activities for our differentiated products. On the international front, our Polish operations continued to do well. However, there was a one-time set-off in projects which has impacted profitability this quarter. Nepal continued to be challenging, but in October 24, Nepal registered a double digit revenue growth after almost a year and we expect a turnaround in their figures going forward We remain optimistic for H2 on the back of the reversal of the price decrease impact and the improving market demand.

Abhijit Roy, managing director & CEO of Berger Paints India, said, This quarter was tough due to elections, inclement weather and slowdown in a few key markets. In spite of this we were able to deliver double digit volume growth and the highest market share gain in a single quarter. Though we did well on the volume growth front, the value sales were lower due to the impact of the price drop taken in the prior quarters and stronger sale seen in the high volume, low value products 1 in the waterproofing and construction chemicals category. Profitability for the quarter, while healthy, had negative growth. Three factors contributed to this, among them being the base effect of a very high margin recorded in QI FY24, impact of price reductions in prior quarters and an increased investment in advertising and brand building activities linked to elections. We continue to register robust growth in waterproofing, construction chemicals and wood coating segments. The industrial segment had a muted performance in April and May but saw revival from June onwards which bodes well for us in the months ahead. On the international front, our Polish operations continued to do well while our operations in Nepal continues to be a challenge. We are now starting to see some signs of improvement in Nepal.
