Operational Highlights and Management Commentary
Bimal Goculdas, Managing Director and CEO, attributed the sharp growth in revenue and profitability to a significant escalation in sulphur and sulfuric acid prices. He noted that a meaningful portion of the reported profitability reflects inventory gains, which will reverse as prices moderate, leading to normalised profits. "I would urge shareholders to read these numbers with that lens," Goculdas said.
The pricing environment also impacted working capital, with receivables and inventory balances growing materially. The company is managing this through short-term borrowings. Despite supply disruptions affecting approximately 50% of global sulphur trade transiting the Strait of Hormuz, DMCC’s Dahej and Roha facilities operated without interruption. The company passed on cost increases fully without losing volumes.
In the boron segment, demand, pricing, and supply all improved, meeting quarterly targets. For speciality chemicals, exports to Latin America, China, and Japan compensated for a subdued European market, supporting geographic diversification efforts.
