RSWM, manufacturers and exporters of value-added synthetic, mélange, blended spun yarns, denim fabric, knitted fabric, and green polyester fibres from India, announced its financial results for the Q2 & H1 FY23 ended 30th September 2022.
For H1 FY23, the company recorded total sales of Rs 1,978 crore- up by 16.7%. Export sales recorded Rs 238 crore which dropped by 31% Y-o-Y. EBITDA for H1 FY23 stood at Rs 222 crore, up 11 per cent.
Commenting on the results, Riju Jhunjhunwala, Chairman & Managing Director, and CEO of RSWM said,“The last quarter was one of the most challenging quarters we have witnessed recently due to the macroeconomic business environment. We at RSWM continue to focus on operational excellence and optimize costs at different levels to manage our working capital well and generate cash to support our growth engine.
Currently, we are closely watching the cotton prices which peaked in Q2FY23 and now it’s stabilising on the onset of new crop arrival we expect a further correction in cotton prices. Secondly, Marco’s economic environment such as the issues of high inflation, interest rates increase, and gas prices increase due to the Russia-Ukraine is a cause of concern for demand globally in the short term. But we are utilizing this period to build our customer relationships and ensure smooth functioning.
Our view for the long term in textiles remains favorable. We have been taking all necessary measures to de-risk ourselves from supply chain disruptions and expect to see these efforts bear fruits next fiscal onwards. Due to the current volatile and uncertain environment, we believe that we will not be able to meet our guidance, and it will not be prudent on our part to give any future guidance until the situation becomes stable. All our projects and plans are on track, and I am confident that the current fiscal will be a one-off and not affect our long-term growth strategy and aspirations.”
