However, volumes for the yarn and fabric division are expected to have declined by about 20% YoY due to weak global demand for the yarn segment.
EBITDA margins for the quarter declined 540 bps YoY to 18.8%, with the absolute EBITDA declining by 12% YoY. The textile division’s EBIT margins declined by 870 bps YoY to 13.3% due to negative cotton yarn spreads, while the sugar segment reported an EBIT of Rs 85 crore (up 2.6x), which aided overall margins for the company.
