Volume Loss from Unification Process
When directly asked by HDFC Securities (Kesha Bayatan Loti) how much volume was lost due to unification and Fly division closure, management deflected, stating it is 'not possible to quantify' and that 'we have not lost out on sales as such'—an evasive response that may indicate underreported disruption.
Nepal JV Inventory Buildup
The Nepal joint venture (50% owned, producing ~7 million sqm in Q2) has inventory levels 'beyond norm' according to management. While currently marginally profitable, the focus is on liquidation rather than margin optimization. This represents a potential write-down risk and capital deployment concern.
Margin Expansion Partially Artificial
Q2 margin improvement partly reflects lower ad spend (reduced in H1), lower production due to soft demand (power/fuel costs down), and one-time cost initiatives rather than purely structural improvement. Management confirmed ad spend will increase in H2, which may pressure margins.
