MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Mr Atul Chaturvedi, Executive Chairman

“The third quarter’s results reflect the resilience of our operations despite the challenges faced by the economy. Weakening currency, high interest rates along with heightened geopolitical risks are some of the challenges which have been navigated successfully by Renuka.

Our total income for 9MFY23 has increased by 57% over the previous year. The company posted a strong 9MFY23 performance driven by strong volume growth, improved realizations, and margins.

In line with our Nations priority of encouraging ethanol blending in petrol, Renuka continues to focus on expanding its footprints in sugar-based ethanol. Our expanded capacity of Ethanol from 720 KLPD TO 1250 KLPD is currently being commissioned and should go a long way in increasing revenue from ethanol. Our flagship consumer brand ‘Madhur’ continues to grow above 20%. Renuka seems to be in a ‘Sweet spot’.

Mr Sunil Ranka, Chief Financial Officer

“Shree Renuka Sugars has delivered a strong financial performance in the third quarter with an 9MFY23 EBITDA growth of 119%. Refinery revenues and margins were better as compared to the previous year which has enabled the EBITDA levels to move upwards to INR 4,368 Mn from INR 1,995 Mn in the previous year. The sugar business profit may stay strong this year as sugar prices remain elevated on an expected decline in global stockpiles and insufficient sugar production globally. The sugar business has become stable, and we are moving from a cyclical industry to a stable industry.”
