Cosmo First Ltd (COSMOFIRST) Q2FY26 Concall Summary - Sep-2025 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company reported a strong quarter with a 21% YoY increase in sales, primarily driven by a 25% rise in sales volume from new capacity additions, demonstrating successful operational scaling.
- EBITDA grew by 19% YoY to INR 128 crores, supported by higher sales volume, improved specialty film margins, and record performance from the Specialty Chemical subsidiary, despite headwinds from lower commodity film margins and increased US tariffs.
- The company is nearing its peak debt level of approximately INR 1,230 crores as major capital expenditure projects are now commissioned. Management anticipates debt reduction to commence from the next financial year as no significant new capex is planned for the next 18 months.
- The new BOPP line is progressively ramping up, achieving two-thirds of its potential utilization in Q2. It is expected to be fully utilized by Q4 FY26, which will enhance cost efficiency and competitiveness, as the new line operates at a 15% lower cost compared to older lines.
- The company is strategically focusing on expanding its specialty portfolio to counter commodity market volatility, with plans to launch two significant new specialty product lines and add four new specialty/semi-specialty lines to restore the specialty mix to previous levels of 70-80% over the next few years.
