SRF Q3 Consolidated PAT at Rs. 101 Crore, 41 pc Increase

NewsVoir | 08 Feb, 2016
SRF, a multi-business entity engaged in the manufacture of chemical based industrial intermediates, recorded 41% growth in its net profit after tax (PAT) to Rs. 101 crore at a consolidated level during the 3rd quarter ended December 31, 2015 over the corresponding period last year (CPLY). The company maintained its net sales at Rs. 1097 crore during the 3rd quarter of 2015-16 over CPLY despite continued trend of significant reduction in commodity prices. SRF’s financial results also reflect the negative impact of Chennai floods on the regular operations of the company’s Manali facility. The financial results of SRF were approved by the SRF Board in a meeting held this afternoon. 

 

SRF’s continued efforts to improve internal efficiencies paid off during the present difficult economic scenario with the company recording 53% jump in its profit before tax (PBT) from Rs. 88 crore to Rs. 135 crore in the 3rd quarter of the current financial year over the same period last year. The company’s EBIDTA also improved by 27% from Rs. 185 crore to Rs. 236 crore during the 3rd quarter of 2015-16 over CPLY.      

 

Interim Dividend

In today’s meeting, the Board also approved an interim dividend at the rate of 50 per cent amounting to Rs. 5 per share. Earlier in August 2015, the board had approved the first interim dividend at the same rate of Rs. 5 per share.

 

MD’s Comments

Reflecting on the financial performance of the company, Mr. Ashish Bharat Ram, Managing Director, SRF Limited, explained: “The Chennai floods affected our Technical Textiles Business very badly. However, our other businesses have continued to grow well and ensured that the company has performed well this quarter.”

The Packaging Films Business reported 115% increase in its operating profit from Rs. 20 crore to Rs. 43 crore over 6% increase in its segment revenue, from Rs. 306 crore to Rs. 324 crore during the 3rd quarter of 2015-16. With 23% increase in segment revenue from Rs. 307 crore to Rs. 379 crore, the Chemicals & Polymers Business recorded 40% increase in operating profit from Rs. 75 crore to Rs. 105 crore during the same period.
