Cosmo Films Limited, a global leader in films for packaging, labelling and lamination applications and synthetic paper today declared its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
In Q4 FY18, the Company achieved the highest ever quarterly sales volume (up by 14% YoY) primarily on the back of near to full capacity utilization of the BOPP line commissioned in February 2017. Commodity film margins remained subdued negating the favourable impact of volume increase.
For the full year, sales volume grew by 25% but lower commodity films margins wiped out more than whole of the gains of the volume increase. PAT and EPS dropped further due to higher interest and depreciation of the new BOPP line commissioned last year. One-time
tax reversal due to recent change in Income Tax Act enabled to partially mitigate the drop in PAT and EPS.
Commenting on the financial performance of the company Pankaj Poddar, chief executive officer of Cosmo FilmsLtd. said, “We continue to focus on expanding speciality which has grown by 20% Y-O-Y and full utilization of capacity. While BOPP film margins continued to be volatile, our continuous focus on improving operational efficiencies helped in maintaining EBIDTA level.”
