Robust Q4FY2021 results with better-than-expected revenue growth of 19.6% y-o-y to Rs. 534 crore and 81 bps beat in OPM at 13.4% (up 408 bps y-o-y). Operating profit/PAT at Rs. 71 crore/Rs. 54 crore, up 72%/128% y-o-y and beat of 20%/40% versus our estimate. Strong revenue growth was led by growth across product categories (excluding herbicides).

Capex in existing products and new capex of Rs. 100 crore -110 crore for five proprietary products (revenue potential of Rs. 200 crore – 250 crore) for supply to the parent would drive industry-leading revenue growth.
