✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Berger Paints delivered a strong Q1 FY24 with standalone value growth of 10.1% and operating profit growth of 37.5%, driven by double-digit volume growth of 12.7% and market share expansion to 20.2% (up 90bps). Decorative led with ~14% volume growth, while industrial grew slower. Gross margins remained healthy at 39.4%, aided by benign raw materials, and EBITDA margin improved to 18.8%. Management expects double-digit revenue growth for FY24, with Q2 moderate and Q3 stronger due to a delayed festive season and weak base. Risks include potential margin compression from increased competition and raw material volatility, though management expects margins to sustain around 17-18%.
