We kindly request that you bear in mind there may be uncertainities when interpreting such statements. Please note that this conference is being recorded. We will now start the session with opening remarks from the management team. Afterwards we will open the floor for an interactive Q&A session. I would now like to invite Mr. Deepak Joshi to make his opening remarks. Over to you, Deepak Sir.
Thank you Vikash, Good afternoon ladies and gentleman we appreciate your presence today to discuss the financial performance of Garware Hi-Tech Films Limited, GHFL, for the quarter that concluded on June 30, 2024. We are thrilled to commence the financial year 2025 with the first quarter demonstrating robust revenue growth and enhanced profitability. The company reported highest ever consolidated numbers on all fronts, recording the highest ever quarterly PBT of INR 117.5 crore, crossing INR 100 crore threshold. We have achieved an unprecedented revenue of INR 474.5 crore during the quarter, with an EBITDA of INR 130 crore and a historic PAT of INR 88.4 crore. This impressive growth was supported by increased contribution of high-end, value-added products across all segments, despite the continuing global uncertainty. Allow me to dwell into the details of our primary product lines, starting with Solar Control Films.
In the Q1 FY 2025, the SCF business experienced robust revenue growth when compared with Q1 FY 2024. This surge in revenue is attributed to the increased sales of high-end, value-added products and the expansion into new markets and new customers. Additionally, recent launch of cutting-edge products like Spectra Pro and DecoVista series have started getting favorable response from the market. Our proactive sales strategies, including increased participation in trade shows and distributor events, as well as a robust digital media presence, have also played a significant role. Looking forward, we expect strong and sustained demand for both automotive and architectural film worldwide. Moving on to the Paint Protection Film. With the introduction of full range of products including top-notch Titanium series, Matte, White, and Black series, PPF is witnessing a strong momentum operating beyond the capacity. We anticipate continued robust demand in both the international and domestic markets.
To address the anticipated demand, we announced during the last quarter earning calls about setting up a new PPF production line with an annual capacity of 300 lakh sq ft per annum, supported by a capital investment of INR 125 crore. This new line is expected to begin commercial production by the second quarter of FY 2026. With these capital expenditure plans, process optimizations, and the launch of a wide array of products designed to meet the needs of various customers, we are well-positioned to maintain the growth momentum in the PPF segment as well. Regarding our Industrial Product Division, the IPD business observed a recovery in both the specialty and commodity sectors, registering a marginal growth in Q1 FY 2025. A focused approach towards premium products such as newly developed lidding films and PCR and floatable shrink films is contributing to enhanced profit margins within this segment.
Ladies and gentlemen, as Garware Hi-Tech Films, our commitment to produce top-quality products supported by vigorous R&D efforts and an expanding global distribution network, that remains unwavering. We are optimistic about maintaining our growth momentum and are resolute in our goal to consistently deliver robust financial performance. With this, I now request Mr. Pradeep Mehta, our CFO, to take us through the highlights of the financial performance. Over to you, Mr. Mehta.
Thank you, Deepak. Good afternoon to everyone joining us today. It's a pleasure to share that this quarter we have seen strong operational performance to date. For the Q1 FY 2025, the revenue reached to INR 474.5 crore, marking a significant 25% jump year-on-year, propelled by continued growth in both the SCF and PPF business. Our value-added products have delivered outstanding results. IPD has also demonstrated encouraging progress, maintaining its positive momentum from the previous quarter into this current one. The architecture division of SCF experienced robust growth due to the rollout of new products. EBITDA is today INR 130 crore, saw an impressive year-on-year increase of 78.7%, quarter-over-quarter rise of 44.9%, thanks to increased sale of high-end products. PBT surpassed the INR 100 crore milestone and stood at INR 117.5 crore for the quarter.
Overall, PAT saw a remarkable growth, surging by 102.2% year-over-year, 52.8% quarter-over-quarter, driven by an enhanced product mix and improved realization from the specialty products. Notably, export accounted for approximately 78% of the Q1 FY 2025 revenue, with around 88% coming from value-added films, thus poised us for exceptional growth in the industry. I'm proud to announce that in addition to our remarkable quarterly growth, we have maintained a very strong financial position with a zero net debt and a substantial cash reserve of INR 493 crore as on 30th June 2024. This solid financial foundation enable us to confidently pursue future growth opportunity, such as upcoming investment in the new PPF line. We are optimistic about maintaining this growth momentum. With this, now I request the moderator to open the floor for question and answer session. Thank you.
Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on their touchtone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management is able to address questions from all participants in the conference, please limit your questions to three per participant. Should you have a follow-up question, we request you to rejoin the queue. We have our first question from the line of Rahul Jain from Credence Wealth. Please go ahead.
Hello?
Yes, sir. Please go ahead with the questions.
Thank you so much for the opportunity, and wish you congratulations on a great set of numbers to the entire team at Garware. My first question is, in your initial remarks, and also in the presentation, you have mentioned about high growth in the architecture segment and also the high-end value-added product proportion has improved. If you could give some details about what is the proportion of the architecture and the high-end value products as on today, how has it moved in last two, three quarters? How do you see it moving in the next few quarters to come? Also, if you could share at least the margin difference between this high-end and architectural products compared to the overall company margins or the other products.
Thank you, Rahul, for your kind words. About the high-end products, in Sun Control business, we have category of products. That means, the products which has a high IR rejection values, that is the top of the line, which we call Sun Control itself is a specialty business. In that, we have categories where very high heat rejections are there, then moderate, and the products which are general value, like safety and security, and lastly, the products which are with the minimum criteria for Sun Control. Out of that, our sustained efforts in last couple of years towards high-end products in Sun Control business, because the basic end products can be produced by many manufacturers in the world, but Garware has positioned itself as a top quality producer of high IR products, which are having the best of properties.
With our sustained focus and marketing efforts towards promoting those products, we have been able to increase their sales, that's how this product mix has changed. Now, coming back to architectural segment. This segment also requires products which are having different properties and high-end properties as compared to general product. On that direction, we were 15%-18% in the previous year, now we are moving towards 25%-30% revenues from the architectural business, it's continuously growing, internationally as well, and domestically as well.
Deepak, give me the margin difference between this high-end value products and maybe that also includes the architectural part and your overall company margins or maybe the other product margins, if you could specify.
These actually for confidentiality reason, because many companies, they try to simulate the performance of our company. We refrain from giving those exact numbers. Definitely they are much higher than when we talk of the company entire product portfolio. These product come at a very premium and high-end margins. I can assure you that they are even, I can say 20%-30% higher than the general product line.
As the proportion of these things go up, because we have reported 60% gross margins and roughly about 27% EBITDA margin this quarter, which is a record high. My reasons of asking this question is basically to understand the sustainability of the gross margins and EBITDA margins.
Yeah. These gross margins or margin percentage as in general, it is dependent on the product mix. If you really see the product which we are selling right now, the product towards CPD division, their revenue percentage has increased. Despite there is a improvement in IPD side, industrial product side, our CPD margins, CPD revenue percentage has increased. In that revenue, our high-end products have also increased. In a nutshell, these margins have gone up because of that reason. Again, I'm saying these margins are subject to the product mix. In the seasons, like summer seasons, there is a Sun Control Films and high-end products, that's why the numbers go high. On an annualized basis, definitely we are trying to make the numbers better than on an annualized basis.
This quarter, as I said, this is a combination of the season also. There is a seasonality involved in the Sun Control business. We will see up and down in that, but overall, the company's aim is towards improving those margins.
Second question regarding these margins only related to this. Basically what we have observed in Cosmo Films and also SRF talking about, and the channel checks also suggest on the commodity films segment, things have been improving. Firstly, how much of that contribution could be there in quarter one? Maybe some of these commodity films which were making losses have turned profitable in that segment. What is the scope of further improvement in that segment?
Our exposure as you named our peers, our exposure in commodity is pretty low, but whatever improvement happens, that helps us at least to maintain the bare minimum of margins. There is a slight, very small percentage, which can be insignificant as compared to our Sun Control and PPF business. That's why that's not a number which we can say that because of that, something has happened. Even if it goes better, our numbers are, as I said, our overall focus is towards consumer products, has always been and will continue to do so. Our margins will always come from there. IPD business, despite that doing good, it's a very small percentage of our portfolio.
Sure. Last question, just two data points. One is, this time the presentation doesn't mention the revenues for SCF and PPF separately, if you could share that. Last thing on the data point, we had appointed consultant with regards to domestic marketing of PPFs, and we had paid certain amount of consultancies last year. This year also that fees will be there? That's my last question.
Yeah. See, on the consultant, there will be much lesser than what it was last year, we continue to engage agencies to help us in marketing and identifying the uncharted territories for us. The numbers, overall, the expense on that side will go down, at the same time, marketing expense will continue to increase because that's what the digital market, we understand the value of digital market in current scheme of things, in the modern marketing things. Such kind of initiative like participation in the biggest shows like SEMA show, like architectural shows, Automechanika in Germany, Automechanika in Delhi, and other shows, that remains our very focused plan for this year, along with high, strong digital media campaigns.
Sure. The SCF and PPF-
Sorry to interrupt, sir. May I request you to please rejoin the queue?
Sure. Thank you.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Mahesh Bendre from LIC Mutual Fund. Please go ahead.
Good afternoon, sir. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Sir, during this quarter, we have reported the margins of around 25%. Just wondering, is there any one-off in this or is this a pure business margin without any extraordinary?
Mahesh, these margins are purely from the operations, but again, as I explained in the previous question that it is a seasonality when the demand of Sun Control goes up. It's a combination of product mix which we produce and sell. They are like we will always be between the last year's numbers versus the current year number, because earlier it used to be little lower. We have moved substantially to higher numbers, and we'll try to maintain in between, depending on the product mix of the product basket which we sell into the market.
Sir, assuming that current basket remains the same going forward, will we be able to maintain this kind of margins?
If basket remains same, of course it will. At the same time, as I said, right now we also work a lot on. There are scientific studies about Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, when there's more of heat comes and the sale increases in that particular area. We typically see there is Q3, there are some concerns on sale Sun Control Film because of seasonality reason. At the same time, that time PPF shows, we have seen in the past that robust growth in that segment. Ultimately, as I said, our aim is to maintain the product mix and maintain the numbers which were around 20% last year and around 27% this quarter. It will be somewhere in between that.
Because we can't guarantee you these margins all the time, because there are geopolitical tensions, there are seasonality, temperature going up and down, and that affects the sale. We are putting our all efforts to maintain and go towards the positive operating margins all the time.
Sure. Sir, we are expanding capacity in Paint Protection Film. Currently, what is our utilization? When this capacity is going to come up and when this capacity will be utilized, the new capacity that is coming up?
Yeah. We have clearly indicated that is by end of. First of all, that is running well, the expansion. That is running well and expected to be completed before Q2 FY 2026. That is almost a year from now. That is on time. Until that, our plants are running at full capacity. In fact, beyond capacity, like I said in my opening address. This is running beyond capacity, and we are using fungible capacity whenever there is a scope, we are making PPF in those lines. These orders, what we take is consistent supplies to the market. We use wherever possibility of our five, six lines we have, there we make some of the components to fulfill the market requirements.
Sure. Thank you. Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Sanjay Shah from KSA Securities Private Limited. Please go ahead.
Afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks for opportunity and congrats on great set of numbers. My question was regarding the boiling global market competition, raw material volatility, logistics issues. How do you see that panning out ahead? The way the bullish stance, what we have seen in our Q1 numbers and what you have commented, what challenges you see and how we see to mitigate it, and which vertical we see the growth on global market?
Thank you for your kind words on our performance. The business, of course, coming up with lot of challenges. Number one, like you rightly said, there is U.S. economy, which has grown to the predicted numbers in first two quarters for them, calendar year. They are expecting a little bit of deceleration and end the year with 2.2% of GDP growth. Our main focus is the auto industry to be number one, of course, auto industry and then building industry. That is linked to the interest rates, which are around 5.25%-5.5% in U.S.A., right? If we see this auto industry growth, which is stagnant in U.S.A., and the expectation from our peers, competitors there that there can be some challenges going forward in this quarter or the next quarter for auto sales.
Our portfolio, we supply to all around the world, and there are certain territories which show better results, or we put lot of effort in those territories to gain our higher business revenues from that region. It's a geography mix which helps us whenever in the past we saw there is a tension between Middle East and Russia, and all that time, U.S.A. market went really well. We put lot of efforts. Right now it's the reverse. We are working very hard in Middle East, Far East, and European territories. There we have been able to make up and do better numbers from those territories. That's one geographical mix helps us. Of course, there are challenges in the market, like you said, but there is no degrowth on the car sales in U.S., so it is going to be maintained. That's what we are expecting.
We are monitoring other competitors also, their performance in different markets. We are seeing neutral growth or no growth. At least the maintenance of these numbers seems to be quite possible. Another thing which we are doing, architectural segment has been a focus of area for us for last couple of years. We are continuously growing our revenues from that segment also. Apart from that, there are territories where we were selling, but not with the full intensity. We have hired very senior personnel in those regions. With the strength of our product, our product comes with a very high quality and they can be distinguished easily. Like this is what Garware or Global product is. The real effort is towards marketing to overcome that challenge.
If we come to the domestic market, there also, we have penetrated very well in terms of automotive. Our Garware application studios are rocking all around. We have now penetrated to Tier 2 cities, which are like, we can say Agra, Jammu, Srinagar, Azamgarh, Dehradun, Bhopal, Ahmednagar, so on so forth, Nashik, Aurangabad. This penetration is helping us for our sales in domestic market as well. Lastly, on architectural domestic market, we have set up a full new team, and month on month, we are participating, having small shows with all the architects and project management companies. With the new set of teams, they are truly focused on architectural business. They do not sell any automotive and other products. That focus has turned the domestic market double the volumes of what we were doing last year.
That's great, sir. My second question was regarding your view on demand side on that safety glazing films, which there is a shift in Indian regulation on that. Can you throw us light? Do we see any good opportunity on that side?
There is an opportunity, and we are capitalizing on that. We have done that in peak summer seasons. We have achieved numbers which were really tremendous. That is still continuing. Because of rainy scenes, there is always a drop in demand. That's a season for Sun Control or safety glazing. That again comes back in two, three months after. That slowly goes up. As we talk about the opportunity, we have, this is our registered trademark also, Garware Safety Glazing, and we are doing really well on those.
My last question was regarding the CapEx, what we are doing, INR 125 crore-
Yeah
to increase our capacity, doubling our capacity to 600 LSF. What will be the asset turnover we can expect from this CapEx, INR 125 crore?
On the asset turnover, actually, excluding the revaluation, we are currently 2.4. With including revaluation, it is 1.1. You have to exclude the revaluation reserves. It will be around 2.5. We are continuing to maintain the same, because we are also depreciating the old assets. It will remain the same. Our turnover also improving.
Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Gunit Singh from Counter-Cyclical PMS. Please go ahead.
Hi, sir. Congratulations on the great set of numbers, and thank you for this opportunity. I would just like to understand that we are growing at a rapid pace, whereas, the industry that we serve, they are not showing similar amount of growth. They are growing at probably 5%-10%. We have guided about INR 2,500 crore of top line by FY 2026, which is again at 25% CAGR. How are we able to achieve this growth? Are we substituting the existing players in the market or can you please help me understand the key drivers for growth?
Yeah. Okay. Number one, the strength of Garware, it's a top quality product, right? What we are doing now, that message we are creating in advanced markets like U.S. and all. All our marketing campaigns are towards the top quality products from Garware. That is number one. Second thing is, as per the market requirements, we are continuously launching new products. If we see our competitors, our pace of introducing new products are pretty high. In last 2 years' time, we have done many new products. I will just name them. When we started PPF, companies take a lot of time to make a standard product for couple of years.
In a small span of time, what we have done is, our product range from the very low customer requirement, the customer having a vehicle, having a lower value, for that also we have a product, and we launched PPF Plus, Premium PPF, Titanium PPF, which is top of the product range, which competes with the best of the PPF in the world. We introduced the Matte PPF, Black PPF, and White PPF. That PPF, a lot of new products are in the pipeline through the help of our R&D and new product development. Our strength is the quality and the response to the market by delivering new products. When we talk of same thing with the Sun Control products, we have launched Spectra Pro, that is spectrally selective films, which has got 280, 240 layers in one film.
That product has made a big impact in our marketing campaign in Europe and U.S. market. We have launched DecoVista, which is Films, which is kind of decorative films for the interior market, and so on so forth. In IPD segment, we have floatable films, floatable shrink films, which is important for the environmental sustainability. We are going to the market with our strength of quality of the product. At the same time, whatever is required in terms of sustainability, in terms of the new development, new product qualities, we are always first. We are doing digital media campaigns for all these things, participating so many shows and present everywhere, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, and of course, on other magazines like Window Film magazine and PPFMag. That's how we are creating a different setup for us as compared to our peers.
All right, sir. In these value-added and new products that you mentioned, is the competition very limited?
Again, competition is pretty much. You talk the products from China, Korea, and some people also try, but they are not able to reach. Again, let me go back to the details of why Garware quality is superior. Garware is the only company in the world which is fully backward and forward integrated. Means when you talk of Sun Control Film, the basic film is produced and, what we do in that film, we produce the base film, we produce liners, we produce its adhesive, we produce its top coat, and we produce the kind of nanoparticles for that. Our film comes with a full backward integration. That's the strength of our product. If you talk of PPF, there also, almost all the products are manufactured in-house.
Such kind of cost efficiency and the quality control is not possible anywhere in the world, and that wins the game for us.
All right, sir. Got it. Sir, typically, the seasonality that we face quarterly over a year is probably about, say, maximum 2% variation in margins across the quarters. You mentioned that 25% operating margins is not one-off. The worst case would be probably going down to 22% or 21% margins per quarter for the coming three quarters if we look at the historical trend. Are these high margins only attributed to the new value-added products, or are you seeing conducive input prices which led to this 25% margins? Is it fair to expect the margins for the coming quarters to be about 21%, 22% at the minimum?
I cannot directly comment on those numbers, but as I explained, our sustained campaign towards the high-end products has helped us to achieve that. That was number one. Second thing, the high inventory situation, which has been there post-COVID. Most of the companies were benefited during COVID because of packaging, but we had a different story. That time also, many people asked us, like the performance has been because of this one-off COVID situation. We have always worked very differently and towards our own path. Post-COVID, there was a lot of inventory because of less production, people ordered more, and shipping line situation, if I recollect from 2021 to 2022, it was like 75 days from here to U.S. Now, the situation suddenly became better with 35 to 40 days transit time from here to USA.
That all was, there was a high inventory in the pipeline. From Q4 FY 2024, like January to March, that situation corrected and got stabilized. Now we are seeing the normalization of that volume. There are reasons. One, I explained you that how our sustained campaign towards high-end products, which we are doing, because lot of competition, like you mentioned, from the countries where there are 80- 100 players, but they all fight in an area which is not a great quality proposition for the products like Garware. We focus only on the high-end and top end, and we have been able to increase that penetration into the market. That was one. Second, inventory situation corrected. Third thing, this new line, which was commissioned in December 2022.
Since then, we are able to produce many or all new kind of products which the market demanded. Earlier, we had a limited capacity, we were not able to maneuver the way we wanted. Now we have expanded quite big. We are getting the results of that. These three are the reasons. Slight improvement is IPD, I said, but that's insignificant. These are the reasons for how we have turned around the story.
All right, sir. Thank you very much. My last question would just be-
Sorry to interrupt, sir. Sorry to interrupt. I would request you to please rejoin the queue as there are several participants waiting for their turn. Thank you. Before we move on to the next question, ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management is able to address questions from all participants in the conference, please limit your questions to two per participant. Should you have follow-up questions, we request you to rejoin the queue. The next question is from the line of Jatin Damania from SVAN Investments. Please go ahead.
Good afternoon, sir. Thank you for the opportunity. Am I audible?
Yes.
Sir, in your opening remarks, you indicated Sun Control Films, was 15%-18% of our revenue in FY 2024. Does this mean that 15%-18% of the CPD or it was only a part of Sun Control Films?
Sun Control Films. when we talk sale of Sun Control, that we divide between automotive and architectural segment.
That means the last Sun Control Film contribution was near about 38% to overall revenue. That means architecture was around 6%. In this quarter, we expect it to be around 20%-25%. Am I right?
Yes.
Sir, in the presentation this time you haven't mentioned what was the contribution of the overall revenue by SCF and PPF for the quarter. Can you help us with that?
Yeah. See, the reason of that, we want to equate the investors with the real situation, what is happening. As I said, the PPF is running more than the capacity, that is running beyond capacity, and we use some of Sun Control Film facilities to make some components of that. This demand is actually cyclic. Sometimes, when the peak season, Sun Control goes up, and when it goes towards little decline, that time, our PPF volumes go up. We maintain the market into that way. Now, there is no clear distinction between a PPF and Sun Control when we talk about production lines inside. That’s why we do not want to give indications every time why this has gone up, why this has gone down. Added to that, I can say PPF line is running at optimal or beyond capacity.
Since initially, there was a euphoria about the PPF products for last year, because that was a base was almost nothing. India was hardly selling a couple of 100 rolls, which we have moved now in India market as well, more than 2,000-2,500 rolls, and it is continuously increasing, right? Because of that, and for the sake of capacity utilization, we tend to show only CPD and IPD.
Yeah. Precisely, I was coming to that only. Now when you are saying that it will be combined, how shall we look at the architectural contribution? Because at one end, you said that SCF is seasonally, because of season, the first quarter was strong, but architect is a structural story. When we say 20%-25% of the revenue, can we combine the 20%-25% of SCF and PPF together, or how shall one look at it?
No, 20%-25%, we are talking only of architectural business. Sun Control, PPF business, there are three categories to our CPD business. That is Sun Control for automotive, Sun Control for architectural, and PPF. These all are related to consumer products, that’s why we categorize it like that. Actually, if you see, it is Sun Control and PPF, and Sun Control has two variations, though the products are different. Still, if we talk both of them together is roughly 65% in terms of revenue mix. Annually, it was that, and quarterly, we have shown it has improved to 67% that we have shown in the slide. That segment is continuously growing. That's what we want to show.
Sun Control Film, it will be more of an architecture, which is a structurally good story, right? Rather than a seasonal factor.
See, Sun Control business is, when we talk of 20%-25% archi, that means 75%-80% business still comes from automotive, which is like a company is known for its qualitative product on automotive. Sun Control automotive is our number 1 portfolio. Then comes PPF, then comes architectural. Architectural, the growth has been very high and at the same time, we are also focusing on that because of the new capacity which came, the idea was to penetrate the automotive full. With the current situation, when we are seeing little bottleneck in terms of car sales in America and rest of the world. By the time that’s why we have put strong efforts to increase the architectural sale. See, Sun Control has both functions, like automotive or architectural, with slight different in the properties.
There we have almost hit the saturation in automotive. Unless the car sale increases, we can only win other competitors' space. Whereas architectural, a lot of education is required, and this is a product which can do amazing things to a consumer. Similarly, when we started PPF, there was no PPF, and we created the environment for PPF in India, right? Similarly, we are doing the same thing with architectural, and we are successful. Those numbers in India market, we have almost doubled what we did last year. Now we always run a campaign towards a product to take it to the top level. Right now, it is architectural for which we are working since last one year, one and a half year, and now we are seeing the results out of it.
Appreciate that, we are always as an industry leading in terms of launching a new product and campaigning and marketing it. On the architecture, the last question, do we expect the similar growth to continue? Because as you said that on the automotive, the market has been saturated till the time the new growth momentum kicks in. Will the growth in architecture be able to offset the overall decline in the automotive front over a period of time?
Yes, we are working towards that, and I am confident that we will be able to do that.
That means in terms of the current capacity, I guess we will see more of architecture and less of automotive, and the margin will continue to remain at the higher level because being a value-added films.
Margins, as I've discussed, like this quarter, we achieved 27%+, and almost it used to be a standard 20% margin average. The company is working towards to reach, the aim is to reach to that level, but it will be because of the product means it will remain good. It will remain in between. Because for us, we don't want to give a number and then fight for that. We know this seasonal mix can change, ultimately, we are confident, and we know the business, like how it is moving towards. These numbers will more or less will be in between and maintained at a high level beyond 20% territory, in any case.
Awesome. Thank you. That's all from my side, and all the best.
Thank you.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Shrinjana Mittal from RatnaTraya Capital. Please go ahead.
Thank you for the opportunity, and congrats on the continued execution. I have a couple of questions on the architecture segment. Firstly, just to clarify, broadly, what was the sales number from the architecture since this year, this quarter?
The numbers, I can give you, like I said, it was around 25% of total sales of-
[Sun Control Films]
Yeah, 69% of.
It was somewhere around 10% of overall sales for the company. That number has been increasing quarter-on-quarter basis.
Understood. On the architectural films, you mentioned about the contribution margin being higher in the consumer products as a whole. What would be the Sun Control Films automotive films, in terms of contribution?
When we talk of these architectural products are good and they have margins, when we talk the margins, there are in automotive also. The sale in the last quarter, Sun Control Films sale was really good, that reason was because of we have moved the market towards very high-end products. That means high heat rejections and all those products, right? They not necessarily come from architectural. They are into the automotive also. I just want to clarify to this forum that when we talk of Sun Control margin increase, that means they have. The Sun Control business itself is very big for us, and it has been continuously growing. That business growth has been very outstanding. Those products, if I categorize into four product lines in overall Sun Control, that includes automotive and architectural.
The products which come at the top of the range, they are almost 2 times margin than something which is at the bottom line. Our focus is to increase the products which are on the number 1 category, that is up to 99% or more than 90% of IR rejection. We go up to 99% of IR rejection. For those products, I'm saying, I think this is the story for both automotive as well as architectural Films.
Understood. Broadly similar for architectural films, it's nothing more different. It's just a Sun Control Films that has led to higher margins. Understood.
As you increase, Sun Control overall portfolio will increase. That's how we are moving.
Understood, sir. Thank you. Just one last question. The architectural segment currently, is it more domestic or more export? What would be the split between, is it more exports or domestic, and how are we focused for this segment?
It is more exports traditionally. Now, with the introduction of Spectra Pro series and DecoVista series, these two products are actually aimed only for architectural, both of them, especially they are working very good on export market. Domestic market, actually, if you see the base in domestic market on architectural was pretty low. There, the growth percentage is higher, but overall numbers are quite high in export market. Europe is our number one market in architectural business.
Understood. Thank you so much. Thank you for taking my questions, and all the best.
Thank you.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Jahnavi Dodai from Aequitas Investments. Please go ahead.
Hi, sir, this is Aditya Rathi. Thank you for the opportunity. Sir, my first question is relating to the initiatives that we're taking towards IPD. Sir, is there any initiative that we're taking?
Yes. On IPD, the focus is on, again, the products which have high demand in U.S.A. and European market, Western markets. They are lidding films. Those are the films which are used in yogurt, top lids or other different kind of segments. There we are seeing a good traction and the product has been developed as per the requirement from these markets. These are the lidding films. We are selling a lot of liner films, apart from that, the products which go like certain films which are as per the environmental sustainability of U.S. and Europe market. These are films which are APR certified, which is Association of Plastic Recyclers of the world. U.S. producers look for that. We look for is a APR, then PCR content on these films, then solid white, and then the floatable films, which are very important for environmental sustainability.
Lidding films is the latest entrant, along with some of the liner films. We are working very hard towards improvement of the IPD segment. Whatever happens to commodity up and down, that is marginally affecting us. Our efforts towards the special business, because the name Garware, we always want to be associated with high quality products, and that we have been able to be successful in that.
Sir, are we seeing traction in the special businesses that you just mentioned?
Yes, we are seeing. The idea is when first we start taking customer data on that, we start producing, developing, giving samples, most of them have been commercialized in big way. Some of the good margins you see for these kind of additional products only. Up to around 20%, I can say, as we speak, we have been able to make 20% margins out of total IPD business margins from these products.
Okay. Sir, second is related to the CPD.
Sorry to interrupt sir. May we request you to please rejoin the queue, as there are several participants waiting for their turn.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management is able to address questions from all participants in the conference, please limit your questions to one per participant. Should you have follow-up questions, we request you to rejoin the queue. The next question is from the line of Preet Nagarsheth from Wealth Finviser. Please go ahead.
Yeah, thanks for that. Sir, I think most of my questions have been answered, but just one thing remaining, which is, sir, could you give us an update regarding any inorganic opportunity that you could be looking at or any traction on that side, so the cash balance that be on the books can get better utilized?
Yeah. See, we have evaluated many opportunities in the past, but the company's focus is towards high-end R&D products or backward and forward, I mean, fully Sun Control Films and ppf films. In that line, like the first investment we did last quarter, we are looking, and now you're talking of inorganic things. In that, we evaluated many, but we don't find people who are up for such kind of cooperation with us, which are not qualitative. Means we are looking for the state-of-the-art facilities. Whereas whatever we have been evaluating or getting for such kind of offers are things which are 15, 20 years old. Whereas the technology has changed and we are investing everything into the latest cutting-edge, high-end technologies. We are still continue to look for them.
Our strategic interest in the Western world, because the company's really focused towards U.S., Europe, and all those advanced markets. We are looking for better opportunities there. We continue to look for, if we come across any of such things, we will definitely be interested. It may be our direct business, or it may be related to our aim of a fully backward integration system.
Okay, sir. I get the point that this may happen, may not happen, it may take more time. As that keeps on going on, the cash on the books will keep on increasing. There has to be some kind of a plan to keep on addressing that cash in the books, because if the business doesn't have a need for it may be better in the hands of the shareholder.
I can answer that. Mr. Venkat can comment on that. Like I said, we are looking for those opportunities. It may happen or may not happen, depending on the kind of opportunity which should fit into our scheme of things, of product or the entire integration of the system. We are also working on organic growth for some more potential growth, and there these investment might come. We are evaluating all those things. After that, Mr. Venkat, you can update on it.
As said by Deepak Joshi, inorganic takes time because we are evaluating a lot of proposals. It takes time. Whatever we do strategically inorganic growth, that we need to evaluate completely, that is why it takes time, number one.
As far as organic is concerned, if you have seen in the past three years, we have been doing a lot of organic growth-related investments. Two years back, we invested on SCF from a capacity of 2,400 to 4,200. A year before we repaid almost INR 140 crore debt. Last quarter, we took a call of expanding the PPF second line by 300 LSF further. These are all the organic investments which we are keeping on doing it. Your question is right, because of profits and other things which is moving up. We'll take a call sooner or later.
Right. Sir.
Sorry to interrupt.
The guidelines for-
May we request you to please rejoin the queue for any follow-up questions.
No, sir. The first question was just continued. This is just going to be my second question.
You can continue, yeah.
Yeah, please go ahead.
Yeah.
Yeah. The only thing I wanted to ask you, sir, the guideline that you had mentioned about INR 2,000 crore for this year and INR 2,500 crore for next year, is that something that you still feel is doable?
Yes.
Yes. 100%. FY 2026, right?
Yeah, that's correct. Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
Appreciation, you guys. All the best.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Naitik Mohata from Sequent Investments. Please go ahead.
Good afternoon, sir, and thank you for the opportunity. Sir, it has been my understanding that the prices for the film have moved up in the past quarter for all kinds of films, BOPET, BOPP and the value-added ones. Are we seeing that panning out for us?
Not really. You're asking because of the commodity increase has helped us to improve our margins?
Yes. Kind of.
No, I explained that in detail, this was a product mix, which with the sustained efforts, we have been able to do. That was one. Then inventory corrections, which were due for many years because of post-COVID situation continued till one year. Then lastly, new line, which has helped us to make more of products which we could supply to the market, like many new products, and the products which we were finding constrained in making in the old line. Because that line is very high quality, state of the art, can produce various kind of different products. These all things were there, and when we talk of the margins of the base films, they were almost insignificant or very slight improvement for us.
Okay, sir. That's very helpful. Sir, is it safe to say that we haven't experienced any one-off inventory during this quarter?
No. I'm saying about the world over situation where the products were stuck and they have started moving. I'm not saying that we have sold both product and filled the market with that. It's not related to one-time inventory.
Okay, sir. Thank you, sir. That was very helpful. Congratulations on an amazing set of numbers, and all the best for going forward.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Axay Shah from KRIIS PMS. Please go ahead.
Thank you for the opportunity. Sir, congratulations for a good set of numbers. Almost my all questions are answered. I just want to get the clarity that despite the challenges, we are growing and are we confident of achieving INR 2,000 crore revenue in FY 2025?
That will be kind of forward-looking because that's immediate. I cannot comment on that, the guideline which we have given for FY 2026, INR 2,500 crore, we are quite confident of that.
Okay. Sir, we are building a market architectural segment in India as we build for PPF. How do we see architectural Sun Control Film segment going forward? Can it become a 20% of overall company revenue in three to five years?
You're talking only for India?
No, overall architectural.
Overall, on a company level, I think, yeah, it will take some time. If you talk of Sun Control segment, it is already now we have achieved somewhere around 25% overall. If you talk of company revenues, overall numbers, we'll try to do that. I think that is possible with our efforts and all. When I'm talking currently, it is around 10% of overall company numbers.
Yes. You can go forward up to 25%, that you have mentioned. Yeah.
Yeah. We are putting efforts toward that. As I said, we are giving those guidelines because of so many uncertainties into the market, but as of now, we do not see any challenge.
Yeah. Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Kartik from Suraj Advisors. Please go ahead.
Good afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon.
I had two questions, one related to capacity availability, because your new PPF line comes on stream sometime several months later. If you mix up, say, SCF plus PPF, because you are using part of the SCF for the PPF requirements, would there be enough capacity across both these segments to meet Sun Control Films or to architecture plus PPF in the interim, that is to say?
Yes. We have planned in that way. In between, there are many things which happen behind the doors. Like we are upgrading some of the older or smaller lines, which are a little older for us, and there we are doing debottlenecking. This work is under process, and as of now, we have been able to maintain that. Soon these debottlenecks of the capacities will help us to cater the demand till the new line comes. We have planned it exactly in a way so that we do not lose any volume in the market, and we continuously grow with this.
Right. Great. The second thing is on PPF, sir. Globally speaking, what kind of market share can you achieve, sir? On the SCF side, you are at 8%-10% globally. Could PPF give you similar opportunities? How do you think of this business, say, over a three, five-year timeframe?
Yeah. See, the plan with our new line is the same. We have the customer base which demands such kind of requirement from the market. As soon as this line, we expect FY 2025 Q2, that line to go on stream. Immediately, sorry, FY 2026, I mean Q2, next year also.
Right.
After that, I think our aim is to run the line at optimal capacity, like the current line is coming. We'll definitely be able to increase our share. See, what you are asking is something which is a data. For us, that is a background work, like how we have to run that line full. We should get full orders for both the lines. That is the outcome. What you are asking will definitely happen. Our focus is to maintain the order flow for that line.
If I may plug in one quick question, sir. On the PPF line, do you intend to dedicate it for a single player? Would it be, again, a common facility across multiple players?
No, it will be combination of both, or I would say, as we speak, there are four or five big players who work with us on PPF. Definitely one of the biggest requirement is our own, because though we are new into this business, but we have created a robust infrastructure for PPF business. Thanks to our Sun Control, which has always been the guiding force on this, because this somehow 30%-40% of the business of Sun Control and PPF goes together. That means on the detailing studios, detailing centers. We have a robust growth, robust network now ready for PPF as well. That's it. This will be a combination of many things, because business does not work on plus and minus, like 100% this or 100% not this.
We have all the plans where many players, at least five big players, will contribute, including us, to run that line full.
Great. Thank you very much and very best wishes, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Vinay Nadkarni from Hathway Investments. Please go ahead.
Yeah, thanks for the opportunity. Just quick two questions. One is on the PPF line that you are putting up, it takes around two years to commercialize it, right? Given the demand, and you have the cash in hand, are you looking at expanding further maybe a year later?
See, these decisions are very strategic and we have all those numbers in our hand. Like I said, whatever we are doing, like expansions and all those things, we declare it into the market. Often we have many opportunities where we debottleneck our capacities to run the line to optimal capacity that is beyond the full utilization by utilizing, making some components from other line, which doubles the capacity or adds it 25%, 30% additional to the existing production capacity. Now with the next line, when we did, I think it was around 18 months timeline which we have given for new line. In that line, we are working like how we should do. Should we go into another kind of investment or it should be the PPF? We are working on that. We will continue. We will not lose market share.
Our market share is continuously increasing. It is already history now, when we started in 2020, PPF, in only four years, the line is running more than 100%, another line is coming, we'll continue to work towards the benefit of the company and for creating value for our shareholders.
Thanks a lot. Just one last question. Can you share the volume numbers of sales in Sun Control and PPF?
Those numbers actually, we have made quite open PPT for everyone to share. Beyond that, please understand one thing. The business and company's growth has been in front of everyone. We are finding it lot of the people trying to enter into our confidential data through that, like how the numbers are going, how the margins are going, and that is affecting some kind of confidentiality or this avoids us because of the competitor landscape perspective. I'm really sorry for not having been able to answer you.
Just one question. This 25% growth that you have seen in revenue, how much would be volume and how much would be value? Any idea? Can you share that number again?
The growth numbers we have already shared, that the major increase has been in Sun Control business. Sun Control plus PPF, that has shown a 65%, and 35% has been IPD segment. Since this Sun Control volumes have also increased and margins have also increased because of our change in the product mix, pushing towards the higher end products. That's how the margin percentage have improved. This is the story. Basically, the efforts toward the CPD business is leading to that. If you really see, just going back to 2017-18, we were just opposite, 65%-70% of IPD and only 30%-35% of CPD. We are focused towards our aim, which has been done over the six, seven years back. We are continuously in that direction, and we are seeing the same thing. It's going 67.
With the new line, you can assume that these numbers are going to continuously increase towards consumer products. Of course, we will make the backbone or strong backup from IPD business, which supports our Sun Control business and PPF business.
Thank you. Thank you very much. Congrats and best wishes to look forward to similar numbers in the quarters to come. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Mahesh Bendre from LIC Mutual Fund. Please go ahead.
Sir, my questions have been answered. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you. The next question is from the line of Parv Jain from Niveshaay Investment Advisors. Please go ahead.
Hi, sir. Congrats on the good set of numbers. Sir, can you help me with the revenue figures for SCF and PPF line for this quarter?
As just before the question, I said we are giving combined numbers of two division, that is, CPD and IPD. If I talk of revenues, this Sun Control is somewhere around close to 49% or 50%, right? Balance around roughly 20% comes from PPF. These numbers, I don't want to delve into more details because as I said, the company is working towards betterments of everything. At the same time, we have to maintain the confidentiality in terms of the margins and revenues and how internal things are changing it.
Okay, sir. I think that helps. Sir, can you just help me with the capacity utilization levels?
Yeah. Capacity utilization, it is more than 100% or close to 121%-125% in PPF. In Sun Control, depending on the product mix, it is almost running 100%. In terms of product mix, means what happens is when we produce some specialty products, they go two times in the machine and all those technical complexities. That is running at full capacity, Sun Control as well.
Okay, sir. The IPD division, that would be?
IPD division has also been running almost 100% in last quarter and going forward. Yeah.
Okay, sir. broadly-
Sorry to interrupt, sir. May we please request you to rejoin the queue?
Sure. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We request participants to not ask questions if it has already been asked in the interest of time. We have our next question from the line of Shashwat from Augmenta Asset Manager. Please go ahead.
Hi, sir. Thank you for the opportunity. Sir, I just have a couple of questions. I believe there is some capacity expansion in the industry taking place in the window sun film side. If you could give any flavor on the current demand-supply scenario and any impact on the pricing side.
You are talking of competitors coming into this field, right? Hello?
Right. Yes, sir.
See, I can tell you one thing, because we keep this all company data all around the world. We are like, who are the manufacturers, what are their strengths and all. We as Garware, our quality is our If I can tell you, there are five minimum factors which distinguish or which gives a clear advantage over any competitor in this part of the world. Number one is Garware films, they do not fade even in 10 years, the color. Number two, it is like heat rejection never drops, right? Whereas the other competitors, there are films which are made from glue-dyed or chip-dyed technology. There, the fading happens fairly quickly, and the properties of heat rejection also come down in a short span of time. Our films are high quality, non-weatherable films. That means their quality is again, very different from competitors.
There are many such features, and we have capabilities to make many different colors which are very unique and trending into the market. There are 80-100 producers already in the world, in China and Korea. Our business, as you have seen, continuously growing with our efforts, with the sustained campaigns we have been running well. Competitor, as of now, we are very aware of the fact that there are so many things coming, but we continuously focus on the high-end products which are made into the market never before. Another example I can give, like a sunroof, moonroof films. I can give you rooftop series. Even the top of the customers from America, U.S., they really, really appreciate us, the kind of innovations we do, because these things are never thought of in the past.
That's how we know, we are very well aware what is happening into the market. At the same time, our focus do not change to move into continuously new innovative products, which are actually, we have a unique selling point on all those products.
Right. Got you. That's very encouraging to hear. Just another last question. It's a part of the products we are exporting, but is there any import substitution opportunity in India for these because of the high quality positioning of our products?
I just want an explanation. You want to know lot of products are imported in India, in Sun Control and PPF division?
Yes.
Yeah. As I said, if we Sun Control Films, right? our films are of high quality, and at the same time they come with a very standard or good prices, right? Whereas when we talk of those films which are imported in India, they are very low quality or they are sometimes the B-grade materials generated from those countries, and they just sort them out and make the required area cut to fit into the cars. That business is pretty small or very low-end business. We always encourage our customers to put high quality films because those films last only a year or so. We do those campaigns.
Recently we have educated, we have a big event in Goa where 150 channel partners visited us. We do these kind of educational presentation. We continuously send them videos and all those things, like the quality comparison. Any standard player would not like to buy those products, but still there is a market which is pretty low as compared to what we do. We do continuously the campaigns where we educate people what we are and what other competitors are. If we go to PPF, our quality of PPF is very different versus what comes. First of all, it's high quality aliphatic TPU-based films. They pass all the tests of hydrophobicity and high gloss and self-healing properties. Whereas many films, they come and they start turning yellow, which are imported films.
They start turning yellow or there are scratches which do not go. Ultimately, the customer has to replace them within one year or so. If you spend on your car, if you love your car, then you should have a very standard product like Garware. That's what our campaign has always been. First of all, we have created market in India for PPF. Now we are creating the customer loyalty to Garware products.
Thanks. Thanks a lot, sir. This is very encouraging to hear.
Thank you.
Congratulations and all the best.
Thank you.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Rohan Patel from Turtle Capital. Please go ahead.
Hello. Congratulations, sir, for great set of results. Most of my questions have been answered. I just wanted a understanding regarding that year-over-year in CPD division, we have seen growth of around 52%, from, say, INR 209 crore to INR 318 crore. Out of that growth, how much we can attribute to the price and how much can we attribute to the volume?
See-
Percent of either, if you can quote.
Yeah. First of all, it's a no-brainer that the volumes have increased because of new line have come up, right? Second thing is on the pricing, the price has changed and gone up because of the movement from many general products to very high-end products, right? As I said, we have four categories in general for our window films, both architectural and automotive, mainly automotive. Our efforts have been towards increasing those numbers. If you see, it's a combination of both because the volume has increased, because the new line has come, and it has given us liberty to produce whatever good quality demand we get from market. Of course, on the pricing, because of the movement of higher-end products, it's a mix of both.
Okay. On the PPF side, you said that not just PPF, all of our capacities are optimally used and so is PPF.
Yeah.
Are we completely using PPF for making PPF or we are also using it to cater to the architectural side Sun Control Film side?
It's other way around. We are using 100% PPF for 100% PPF, but also using other capacities to make PPF.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was from my side. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Ankush Agrawal from Surge Capital. Please go ahead.
Hi, sir. Thank you for taking my question. Congrats on the great set of numbers. The only question that I have was on the margins. You have discussed a lot over the last one and a half hours about it. One thing I want to understand is, has the PPF backward integration that was taking place over last year and a half, has that played some role during this quarter margin expansion? Secondly, the inventory decision that you're talking about, was it a situation where in markets, the demand was much higher than what the supply was, and thus we were able to get much higher realization than we would have normally get more? On these two points, how that impacted the margin?
On the first question, yes, that has happened. Again, I can talk in general, our aim always has been to have fully backward integrated system, which we always make. Whatever product we make, initially, we start with components maybe from other places, but ultimately the system is to develop everything on our own, which helps us in the cost competitiveness and improve margins. Second thing is, the ultimate level of quality control. These two are the aims. You are right on the first, and that will continue to grow. That much I can say on number one. On second thing, on the inventory corrections. Inventory corrections, what I meant is it was long overdue because during COVID, people bought lot of material because of the shortage in the market.
Like, if somebody used to give us 10 lakh sq ft , we were able to give only two lakh square feet because of high demand from the market. That time, many companies shut down during COVID, in 2021 mainly, right? That kind of situation, that became worse because of the shipping line issues, which took around 75 days from India to U.S. ports, right? Similar to Europe because of the COVID situation. This situation suddenly got corrected in the mid of 2022, which was July, August of 2022, when all the material people over-ordered, and plus the shipping line also went down from 75 to 35. 35- 40 days additional material because of shipping line, plus over-ordering situation. That situation was there till, I would say almost 2023, whole of 2023, or at least nine months of 2023, this situation remained there. Right?
This started slowly correcting in Q3 FY 2024, and it was almost balanced in Q4 FY 2024, right? Jan to March of this year. This situation is now perfectly normal. It is not over-inventory, or it is not under-inventory. As we speak, its situation is very balanced. Whatever has come is the natural outcome of over-inventory getting corrected. Now it is normal. There is nothing specific or one-time thing with that.
Okay. Just a clarification. Say on SCF, we are 100% backward integrated. On relative terms, where would be in terms of PPF?
May we request you to please rejoin the queue?
Since he has asked, I'll just answer the question that, Sun Control, we are 100% backward integrated. On PPF, it is in the process. Again, that is a very sensitive information. I can only say that we are progressing and doing well for the value creation for the company and the shareholders.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
The last question.
We have our last question from the line of Parikshit Kabra from Pkeday Advisors. Please go ahead.
Hi. Congratulations on the fantastic result. My first question is, you mentioned in the past that SCF faces some level of seasonality through the year. In the summer, it is utilized more. Is there anything similar in the PPF market?
Not really, people use, since 40%-50% of the network is same. What happens, people focus much more in when it goes towards lower seasons Sun Control. That time, people push for more PPF. We have seen that from our practical understanding of the business. There is no seasonality, people tend to use and focus more on market more of PPF when Sun Control is little lower. In overall scheme of things, that suits us, because when we are slightly down on Sun Control, we can make up that from PPF. Our strategy's always been geographic mix all around the world. Wherever one place it goes down, we try to increase on the other round. Similarly, on Sun Control and PPF and architectural, we try to use these things to keep our lines running full. That's it.
Okay. Just to follow up on that. Who are we selling to? For example, in the U.S., if you're saying that the buyer for SCF, which is both architectural as well as automobile and PPF, which is automobile, is it the same buyer? Are we selling to OEMs? Are we selling to a distributor there? Who are we selling to?
See, our standard model of selling is directly to distributors in our brand, like Global and Garware. Because we are world's largest facility at one location, we have lot of capacity, and we sell to many customers directly who in turn supply to OEs, right? OEs, or they have their own branding, right? We have a mix of model where we supply to our distributor our branded material, we also sell products which are sold under private labels and also sold directly to the OEs.
Got it. Can we get a split of our branded sales versus white label sales?
It's typically 50/50 for us.
All right. Got it. All right. Okay. Thank you. Thanks a lot.
Thank you.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, due to time constraint, that would be the last question for today. I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. A. Venkataraman, Senior President, Corporate Affairs and Finance, for closing remarks. Over to you, sir.
Thank you very much for attending the call. Trust we clarified all your queries. In case if you have any additional feedback and queries left out, please reach out to us through an email provided in the investor presentation file. Thank you very much. Have a great day.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. On behalf of Garware Hi-Tech Films Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us, and you may now disconnect your lines.
Thank you, sir.
