Raw material prices softened across the board but so did subsidy rates. Operating margin (EBITDA/turnover) declined from 19 % to 14% due to lower subsidy rates, provision for wage revision for employees and squeezed Industrial Product spreads.

Outlook
Imposition of export restrictions on fertilizers by other countries and geo-political disturbance in the middle east region could aggravate prices and availability of raw materials and fertilizers. NBS Subsidy rates are reduced from October 2023, however input prices have not reduced. Going forward, it seems that either input prices will reduce or subsidy rates may have to be increased to compensate for cost economies of P&K Fertilizers. Q 2 FY 23-24 Results Update Media Release On the Industrial Products front, volatile international market conditions are likely to keep margins limited. Management will continue to optimize the Product Mix to mitigate this impact.
