Results

85.2% YoY EPS growth

Great results from Borosil
25% increase in sales for Scientificware and 77% increase in sales for consumerware on YoY basis. 143% jump is PBT YoY mainly due to exceptional losses booked last year and exceptional gains booked this year (insurance claims paid). Removing exceptional items, PBT is up 25% YoY which is decent in current inflationary environment.

Notes from the last few management interviews.
07.07.2022 (ET interview)
- Growth guidance: consumer (15-20%), scientific (12-15%)
- In consumer division, currently manufacture 40-45% of products, which will increase to 75-80% in next 2-years with upcoming capex
- In scientific division, currently manufacture 80% of products, which will increase to 95% in next 2-years with their backward integration efforts

15.12.2022 (CNBC)
- Demand is robust in scientific and consumer division
- Inflation has cooled with raw material prices stagnating, freight costs have come down
- Margins were impacted due to delay in capex which resulted in buying more from outside. There will be one more quarter of margin pain
- Growth momentum in H1 will continue in H2 in both consumer and scientific division
- Demerger and listing should potentially be done by June 2023
- EBITDA target for consumer division is 20% while maintaining 20% sales growth

Latest OTG Campaign
Their OTGs are rated very highly on Amazon.
Recently visited myborosil.com website and surprised to see variety of items like cold press juicer, glasstop gas stove, brass akhand diyas, SS handi server, wooden chopping board etc. So looks like Borosil is working hard on brand extensions and monetizing marketing spends by expanding into related items in Kitchen.
Recently I had chance to experience Borosil after sales service. Borosil Mixer gasket got damaged. After raising complaint (post warranty period), service engineer came to my house to replace the gasket…Pleasantly surprised …If they continue to do this, this company can go long way in service deprived country like ours.
This is a peer comparison of Borosil divisions. The data is taken for Mar 2022 due to availability. Recent data will show a fall in margins due to inflation.

Good small acquisition
See Shreevar Kheruka’s interview to CNBC today morning, about the acquisition as well as current environment, margins, capacity expansion etc
Disclosure - Long term investor. Part of my core holdings
There was spike in volumes and share prices in last trading session which gave a breakout above 200 DEMA.
Is acquisition the reason for such move? Turnover of the acquired business has been 50crs that is almost 10% of their revenues.
But this doesn’t look like a reason for big spike, am I missing something?
The information about margins and input costs were already public when announced during the last concall.
Just listen to the interview again. I think, its more to do with the expected margin improvement that the company is talking about.
The margins were abnormally depressed in Q3 due furnace shutdown ( if I remember correctly )
That stand’s resolved now. Plus new furnace coming onstream ( again … quoting out of memory )
Expect a better margin profile in Q4
Disc- invested, holding
The same was already mentioned during the concall. The interview, except the acquisition, doesn’t add anything new.
Maybe it’s just some big money coming in…
