CEAT's performance this quarter surpassed industry expectations, with solid growth in revenue despite challenges from rising input costs. Compared to sector norms, CEAT has demonstrated resilience, especially in its replacement and export segments, where demand remained robust.
Arnab Banerjee, MD & CEO of CEAT Limited, stated:
“We are pleased to see that we have successfully carried the momentum from Q1 through Q2. This quarter marks our highest revenue ever, driven largely by robust performances in our Replacement and International sectors. While there’s a significant increase in the commodity prices, our margins got impacted during the quarter. We took selective price increases during the quarter that offset part of the cost impact. The revenue outlook remains positive as we enter Q3.”
CFO Kumar Subbiah also highlighted the rise in debt due to increased raw material inventory and dividend distribution. He assured that CEAT continues to focus on efficiency and growth across key segments.
