Management Comments
Sameer R. Kothari
Managing Director
HFL was able to achieve its highest ever quarterly profit despite the unseasonal rains that affected the off take of our seasonal offerings like ice creams and beverages. The ramp-up in our new plant in Nashik and the stabilization of the shoe business led to a satisfactory performance in this quarter. The last year was the year of ‘Audacious, Agile and Ambitious’ bets, this year is going to be all about scaling with intent and executing with discipline. We will continue to focus on acquisitions which are value accretive in an external environment that continues to be challenging and more so with the Tariff War. Our diversified product mix and differentiated business model gives us confidence of being able to successfully maneuver the turbulent times and we remain confident of being able to achieve the targets that we have set for ourselves.
Ganesh Argekar
Executive Director
While most of our factories continued to deliver stable performance, we especially strengthened our operations in the two new sectors of ice creams and shoes. With the operations at our greenfield Nashik plant ramping up and the Lucknow facility producing at its peak capacity, we continue to see traction in the ice cream segment. We have acquired land for the new factory in Panipat and have started civil activities which give us confidence that we will soon be the largest contract manufacturer of ice creams in the country. As far as shoe manufacturing is concerned, we continue to see improvements in the operational metrics though we are watching closely the effect of global turmoil on the overall industry and specifically on our multinational customers.
Mayank Samdani
Group CFO
This quarter saw us coming very close to a major milestone of achieving a 1000 crore quarterly turnover. We also ended the quarter with record profitability figures. As investments made in new factories and in expansion of the existing factories have started delivering, we are confident that this number should improve further. This quarter saw the conversion of the outstanding warrants leading to a further strengthening of our balance sheet with a net debt equity ratio reducing to 0.65. As we continue to allocate capital to new projects and acquisitions, we will ensure an optimal use of funds and achieve our targeted RoE. Going ahead, we do foresee some seasonal variations but are optimistic about the annual trend.
