Management Comments
Mr. Deepak Jalan
Managing Director, Linc Limited
In Q3 FY25, our total income stood at %12,355 lacs, reflecting a 0.9% YoY decline compared to %12,467 lacs in Q3 FY24. While domestic sales were impacted by a slowdown in general trade, we delivered strong operational performance across key channels, with Exports, Modern Trade, and E-commerce registering healthy growth. These segments played a crucial role in mitigating revenue softness from other areas. The Linc segment saw a 3.4% YoY decline, primarily due to some legacy products reaching maturity, but we are actively expanding our portfolio with new product introductions to drive future growth. Despite the revenue dip, profitability remained robust. Gross Profit improved by 2.9% YoY to %4,017 lacs, with gross margin expanding to 32.9% from 31.5% last year, primarily driven by strong export growth, which contributed 22% of total revenue. Our EBITDA stood at 1,599 lacs, with a healthy margin of 12.9%, and PAT came in at 8872 lacs, reflecting a strong 7.1% margin, showcasing our ability to sustain profitability despite near-term headwinds. Looking ahead, our commitment to innovation, strategic market expansion, and operational efficiency will continue to drive growth.
