From Last Concall

POSITIVES
  • Consolidated profitability improved despite stand-alone weakness, with PAT growth of over 100% driven by international strength and margin control.
  • Hester Africa turned profitable in this quarter, reversing last year’s loss with INR5 crores profit on INR17 crores top line, supported by improved execution and market penetration.
NEGATIVES
  • Stand-alone performance declined due to delays in government immunisation programs in the Animal Health division (14% degrowth and 7% PAT decline).
  • Animal Health division declined 33% due to deferred execution of large immunization programs for PPR and lumpy skin disease, affecting near-term revenue potential.
