APAR Industries reported a strong Q1 FY24 with consolidated revenue of INR 3,773 crore (+22% YoY), EBITDA of INR 369 crore (+54% YoY) at a margin of 9.8%, and PAT of INR 197 crore (+61% YoY). Growth was volume-led across all three divisions, with exports contributing 53% of revenue (up from 42% YoY). The conductor division saw 27% volume growth, cables grew 52%, and the oil division posted 13% volume growth. Management highlighted a near-term slowdown in export markets due to de-inventorization in the US and Europe, but the domestic market remains robust with strong government-led infrastructure spending. Guidance for conductor EBITDA per ton remains at INR 25,000+ with tailwinds tapering over the next two quarters. A key risk is the potential for prolonged export weakness if interest rates remain high, delaying large US projects.
