Performance Overview
- The company reported a mixed performance in Q1 FY27, with sales volume falling below expectations but profitability exceeding them, demonstrating strong pricing power despite market challenges.
- Management maintained its full-year guidance, expressing strong confidence in achieving 15-20% volume growth and over 20% absolute EBITDA growth for FY27, driven by new capacity and market recovery in the latter half of the year.
- The company's focus on profitability over volume in a volatile quarter resulted in a flattish quarter-on-quarter EBITDA per ton of over 5,500, successfully offsetting the negative operating leverage from a 20% decline in sales volume.
