Commenting on the performance for Q1 FY22, Mr. Mithun Chittilappilly, Managing Director – V-Guard Industries Limited said, “During Q1, we have delivered a fairly strong financial and operating performance while bearing the impact of the second wave of Covid-19 that was sharper and more severe than generally expected. Specifically for V-Guard, there is a high business contribution from South and East markets – which bore a greater impact than the rest of the country due to lockdowns in the months of April and May. Extended closures not only resulted in subdued consumer demand but also curtailed supplies from our manufacturing units in Sikkim. Even so, during the quarter, our growth has been broad-based across product categories and geographies – non-South markets contributed to over 43% of revenues, also electricals and consumer durables have expanded extremely well while some categories – electronics and air coolers – had substantial impact on top-line with the second wave coinciding with the peak season.
During the course of quarter, we saw progressive improvement in business as the second wave abated and conditions normalized to a greater extent. As a result, we delivered a stronger top-line in the month of June. the second quarter has seen improved momentum as the country opens up and the Subsequently, government’s vaccination drive covers a larger part of the population.
During Q1, there also was an increase in costs due to significant commodity cost inflation. While we have been able to offset a major part of the impact, some more pricing actions are being planned in the coming months. Further, A&P spending has been increased to support the business growth – this should apportion more efficiently as revenues expand during the rest of the year, as per plan. Overall, we expect the business to bounce back strongly in the coming quarters, which should drive revenue growth and margin expansion. In the longer term, strengths associated with our brand, distribution and product range as well as the resilience demonstrated by the organization in a tough operating environment provides the platform for broad-based growth opportunities.”
