December 2022 Quarter - Performance Snapshot
Management Commentary Continues
FilmBusiness:
❑During the quarter, BOPP and BOPET industry faced excess supply caused due to bunching of new production lines
and on the other hand demand disruptions in overseas markets. The contribution margin dropped below the
sustainable levels and impacted everyone in the industry. The Company mitigated the impact on the back of its
strongpresencein specialityfilms segment.
❑BOPP Films margins have been running at close to Rs 15/- per kg during Dec 2022Q vs Rs 42/- per kg during Dec
21Q and Rs 20 per kg during Sept 2022 quarter. This is much lower than average historical margins (in range of Rs
25 perkg).
❑The BOPET line which was commissioned towards the end of last quarter continued to focus on perfecting recipes,
processes and quality parameters for various speciality and value-added films in line with the Company’s entry
strategyin polyesterfilms.
❑The near-term outlook for commodity films is expected to be challenging however the Company will continue to
expandon specialty films growth.
