Question: How is the feasibility of doing business in Africa currently, and are there plans for expansion there?
Answer: Ethiopia is not feasible due to tax withdrawals by Europe and the US. Focus remains on Indian expansions; no current plans for overseas markets like Kenya.
Question: What is the potential impact of a UK FTA on addressable market size for cotton knitwear?
Answer: UK FTA could increase market share by 5-10%, leveraging existing European customer relationships. Current garment order book exceeds Rs.1,000 crores.
Question: What drove the increase in EBITDA per garment piece, and is it sustainable?
Answer: Value additions (e.g., printing, embroidery) improved margins. Sustainability is expected as these enhancements are now integral to operations.
Question: Can garment production sustain 40 million pieces quarterly, and when will brownfield expansion contribute?
Answer: Current run rate is maintainable. Brownfield expansion (30 million capacity) will complete in H1 FY25, boosting output to ~45 million pieces quarterly thereafter.
Question: What are the demand trends in Europe, the US, and Australia for garments?
Answer: Markets are stable. Europe (50% of sales), US (20%), and Australia (15%) show consistent orders. No significant demand surge expected soon.
Question: Why did yarn and garment margins decline in Q4?
Answer: Yarn margins (12%) fell due to cotton price volatility. Garment margins (24%) dipped slightly from inventory pressures but remain stable.
Question: What are the revenue and margin expectations for sugar and ethanol segments?
Answer: Sugar revenue (Rs.73 crores/quarter) and ethanol (Rs.150 crores/quarter) combined for 28% margin. FY25 sugar production may rise to 2 lakh tons, ethanol to 6-7 crore liters.
Question: How is FASO performing, and what are its growth targets?
Answer: FASO focuses on South India with Rs.25 crores annual revenue. Targets Rs.100 crores in 3 years via marketing and dealer networks.
Question: Why has EBITDA stagnated despite revenue growth?
Answer: Yarn margin pressures (down to 10-12% from 17-18%) due to weak demand. Integrated operations mitigate losses; recovery hinges on market revival.
Question: What are capital allocation plans given strong cash generation?
Answer: Prioritizing textile expansion opportunities. Buybacks or dividends depend on market conditions and growth prospects.
Question: How does KPR outperform peers in garment volumes amid weak demand?
Answer: Vertical integration, competitive pricing, and reliability attract large orders. Value-added offerings and scale sustain growth despite sector challenges.
Question: What is the cotton price outlook, and how does it impact procurement?
Answer: Global prices are 3-4% below India's but offset by import duties. Stable cotton costs expected in H1 FY25, supporting margin consistency.
