Fiscal Year 2026
-
Q3 saw stable production and sales with strong EBITDA and PAT, supported by robust cash reserves. Focus remains on international mining markets, value-added solutions, and ongoing trials, while navigating global uncertainties and protectionist barriers.
-
Q2 FY26 saw stable financials with 63,000 tons sold and a major Chilean order marking a breakthrough in South America. EBITDA margin was strong at 28.3%, and at least 30,000 tons annual volume growth is targeted from FY27, pending trial conversions.
-
Q1 FY26 saw flat sales volumes and strong margins driven by favorable product mix and lower costs, though management expects margin normalization and flat volumes for the year. Progress on international expansion and renewable energy continues, while U.S. tariffs and slow mining conversions remain key risks.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
FY 2024-25 saw robust margins and stable profits despite a 14% revenue decline, with new plants in China and Ghana planned to address supply chain risks. U.S. tariffs and global volatility cloud near-term guidance, but long-term growth strategy and segment expansion remain intact.
-
Quarterly sales volumes improved sequentially but remain below last year, with margins holding strong at 27–28%. Overseas expansion in China and Ghana is underway to address freight volatility, with full-year volume guidance at 250,000–260,000 tons.
-
Quarterly sales and profits were flat sequentially but down year-over-year due to lower mining customer offtake, destocking, and supply chain issues. Management expects full-year volumes to be 10% lower, but margins remain robust and expansion plans continue.
-
Quarterly volumes and revenue declined due to severe logistics disruptions, but margins remained strong. Management is optimistic about long-term growth, with a new composite mill liner facility and a major buyback announced, while closely monitoring ongoing supply chain challenges.
