Decline in post-patent product prices with ramp-up of supply from China, idle capacity costs to achieve competitive inventory position, and unfavourable regional mix (increase in share of LATAM) significantly impacted contribution margins in Q4.
Leaner inventory to support UPL to capture growth opportunities in FY24
‘UPL SAS’ delivered 16% YoY revenue growth and 31% EBITDA growth. ‘Advanta’ reported 12% YoY revenue growth, but a 5% YoY decline in EBITDA primarily due to higher fixed overheads and R&D expenses

Strong performance of 9MFY23 offset by the subdued performance in Q4
Continued investments to strengthen customer relations and build capabilities to drive growth in differentiated & sustainable portfolio led to higher fixed overheads
Higher finance costs given the significant rise in benchmark rates led to net profit and EPS being flat
‘UPL SAS’ crop protection business delivered 10% YoY growth in revenue and 13% in EBITDA . While ‘Advanta’ reported strong growth of 26% YoY in revenue and 29% in EBITDA
