Management Comments:

In a statement, Mr. Vayu Garware, CMD, Garware Technical Fibres Ltd. said, "During Q4F22, Operating EBITDA margin at 20.6% has improved by 2.7% compared to YTD Dec-21 despite very high inflationary headwinds which we have been able to pass on to the maximum extent with a little lag. Stellar performance of International business continues at a double digit growth with strong performance in Aquaculture cages and Sports sectors in Q4. Both categories grew in strong double digits with all parts of the International business performed well despite the issues of global supply chain disruption - containers availability and high ocean freight cost. Cash conversion cycle which was taking longer in H1 and Q3FY22 due to global supply chain disruption has improved a little in later part of Q4. However, we still have lot of international deliveries in transit to our subsidiary in Chile against orders which are eliminated for sales and profit in the consolidated financial statements. In the challenging environment in FY22 with high inflationary headwinds and global supply chain disruption, we have delivered about 9% growth in Operating EBITDA with the strength of our products and solutions with high value propositions and strong brands. Whereas PAT growth has been lower at 4% due to lower other income which was impacted by mark to market valuation of treasury investments. "

The Board of Directors has recommended a Dividend of Rs 7.00/- (70%) per share of Rs. 10/- each for approval by the Members of the Company at ensuing Annual General Meeting.
