DMCC Speciality Chemicals Ltd (DMCC) Q2FY26 Concall Summary - Sep-2025 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company reported a flat top-line performance compared to the previous quarter, primarily due to significant logistical challenges in the Boron business and a sharp decline in specialty chemical exports to Europe.
- Profitability saw a decline, with Profit Before Tax (PBT) decreasing from INR 11 crores in the previous quarter to INR 8.28 crores, attributed to lost sales in the high-margin Boron segment.
- The company faced severe raw material supply disruptions for its Boron business due to a change in the supplier's distributor, which extended lead times from a few days to nearly 100 days and caused operational shutdowns.
- A significant downturn was observed in the European market, with specialty chemical exports to the region, previously valued at around INR 40 crores, having "practically disappeared" due to reduced consumption and plant shutdowns in Europe, driven by internal energy and industrial policies.
- As a strategic response to market shifts, the company is actively exploring and has made a "reasonably good start" in developing new markets in Latin America and China to replace the lost European business, though it is expected to take time.
