Management Comments
Mr Suresh Krishnan
Managing Director & CEO of Paradeep Phosphates
We have achieved record sales volumes of over 3 million tonnes, underpinned by strategic sourcing, a diversified NPK production mix, focused sales and marketing efforts, and strong fiscal and operational discipline. Both our debt levels and net debt per tonne of sales have decreased meaningfully. We ended the year with 74% of EBITDA converting into free cash flow. Over the past four years, our growth in volumes and key financial metrics has been standout within the industry. Our commitment to ESG has also earned global recognition, with S&P placing us in the top 98% percentile in the chemicals sector. ESG will continue to be a core pillar of our growth agenda. With a favorable monsoon outlook and continued government support, we remain focused on driving operational excellence and deploying free cash flows prudently to support strategic growth including backward integration.
