Nitta Gelatin India Limited , a leading manufacturer of gelatin and collagen peptide, has announced its financial results for the first quarter, showcasing resilience in its operations despite facing some challenges.

Financial Performance

The company reported an EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) of ₹275.00 crore for the first quarter, maintaining the same level as the corresponding period last year. This stability in EBITDA demonstrates Nitta Gelatin's ability to sustain its operational performance in a challenging environment.

However, Nitta Gelatin experienced a slight decline in its EBITDA margin, which decreased to 19.80% compared to 20.94% in the same quarter of the previous year. This margin compression indicates some pressure on the company's profitability, possibly due to factors such as increased input costs or competitive market conditions.

Management Changes

In a separate development, Nitta Gelatin has announced key appointments to strengthen its senior management team:

1. New Chief Financial Officer: Mr. Uppiliyappan C has been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO)-Designate. With over 18 years of experience in managing core finance functions across global and Indian entities, Mr. Uppiliyappan brings expertise in strategic financial planning, cost optimization, and operational finance.

2. Head of Human Resources: Mr. Vinod S. Menon has been appointed as the Head of Human Resources (HR)-Designate. Mr. Menon has more than 24 years of comprehensive HR experience and is expected to drive business growth through people-centric practices and leadership excellence.

These appointments are likely to bring fresh perspectives and strengthen the company's financial management and human resource strategies.

Annual General Meeting

Nitta Gelatin recently held its 49th Annual General Meeting (AGM) through video conferencing. The meeting, chaired by Mr. A P M Mohammed Hanish IAS, saw the participation of various board members and senior management. Key agenda items included the adoption of financial statements, declaration of dividends, and the re-appointment of directors.

The company's commitment to corporate governance and shareholder engagement was evident in the proceedings of the AGM, which included addressing queries from shareholders and discussing the company's performance and future outlook.

As Nitta Gelatin navigates through the current economic landscape, the steady EBITDA performance and strategic management appointments suggest a focus on maintaining operational efficiency while preparing for future growth opportunities.
