Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's been a pleasure to welcome you on behalf of Somani Ceramics and SKP Securities to this financial results conference call. We have with us Mr. Vishik Sumani, MD and CEO, Mr. Srivatsa Sumani, Head, Bathware, Mr. Amaya Sumani, DGM, and Mr. Sehleesh Raj Kedawat, CFO. We'll have the opening remarks from Mr. Sumani followed by a Q&A session. Thank you, and over to you, Mr. Sumani.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the earnings call of FY2627Q1. As you can see, our sales have grown moderately by about 3%. Whereas the value is grown by 24%. The sales growing only at 3% is due to April, we did not get a certain segment which we were generally buying from Morbi. As you all know, that Morbi was shut for the entire month and a half. So we missed a couple of percent of sales, but it would be made up this quarter very handsomely. As a result of capacity utilization, our EBITDA margins have gone up on operational efficiencies, both on capacity utilization in our plants and also on the JV performances. So EBITDA margins go up by 3.6% to 11.6% for the quarter. Capacity utilization in the JVs and very, very significantly in our own plants have gone up. The gas price has been extremely volatile. I mentioned that in the earnings call for the FY26, but the gas price since then has been extremely volatile. Every month, there's been a small increases in gas price. Fortunately, we've been able to pass on all the gas price increase until now. So, the current price increase has been between 16% and 80%. Other than that, the demand of May and June has been pretty decent. July also has been not bad, considering that there's been rains in many parts of the country. Morbi operations have completely started. They have resumed 100% production on very expensive gas, which is being supplied by GEL, formerly known as GSPCL. The price is significantly higher, and they have also priced it in as far as their pricing is concerned. The only negative in the quarter has been from a Mobi perspective. His exports have been down due to geopolitical reasons. The export is down a good 50-60% from the peak. That's been a little bit of a downer for the quarter, and this will continue probably for this quarter until it starts settling, until the freight starts settling. We have been healthily growing in our sanitary wear, bath fitting, and the building material division also. Again, there's been a large expansion which has taken place in the building materials, sorry, in the construction chemical space. We have added capacity in south, and also we've added a very large capacity in the north, which has gone on stream only last month. So, effects of that will be seen partly in this quarter and mostly next quarter. Advertising spends are in line. Receivables are in line. We've only bettered our receivables. Stocks, we've been able to reduce our stock fairly significantly due to Morbi not being running. That's been a big booster for clearing out old stock and also reducing a large amount of inventory which we were carrying from the past. Our debtor days, inventory days, creditor days are all healthy. Working capital days also have come down from 17 to 12 days. Overall, we are extremely bullish of the future outlook. Because of that, we have announced setting up a 9 million square meter plant, 9 plus million square meter plant in the south, which would be up and ready by in the next 12 to 15 months. That would give us a potential revenue about 150 crore rupees. Other than that, we are taking many more steps, which are all work in progress, to augment further capacity by about 4 to 5 million in our existing lines in Bahadurgarh, which is in Haryana, and in Gujarat, and in Morbi, and also in the south. All put together, we will be adding another 4 to 5 million for the mid, but this will be ready from mid-quarter 3, and will be completely in place in quarter 4. This would add not only capacity, but also will add value added mix. I have been maintaining that our JVs were not performing to our expectation last year. This year, they have all started performing, and they will only perform better going forward. Again, one of the JVs, we've taken up a fairly significant capacity increase. Sorry, not capacity increase. We've taken a significant value-add increase by balancing equipment. It doesn't come at a large cost, but that will further value add our product. So from a product point of view and volume point of view, we are looking good for the future. And we maintain that the EBITDA margins delivered in this quarter would be maintained, and we are trying to better our EBITDA margins, which we have delivered in last quarter and on this quarter. So, on EBITDA and on value volume, things are looking very, very positive going forward. I will stop here and I would take any Q&As going forward. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much. We will now begin with the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and then 1 on their touchstone phone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and then 2. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. Again, to register for a question, please press star and then one now. Your first question comes from the line of Sneha from Nuwama. Please go ahead.

Hi, Dean. Congratulations on great set of numbers. Coming to your margins itself, which is pretty surprising, we generally see a strong quarter-on-quarter drop when it comes to Q1. This time, we have seen a strong improvement in margins. What's really leading to this change and how structural of a change it is in terms of, you know, these numbers remaining from Q2? That's the first one.

I think this is because of capacity utilization being much, much better than last quarter. So if you see same time last quarter, which is Q1 last year, it was 72%. We're at 83%. And that's an 11% increase in... Sorry. Standalone, yeah. On a standalone basis from 72% capacity utilization to 83%, which is a major, major increase. And that has led to margin. On the other front, I think our JVs, which gave us last year on the same quarter, which is Q1 last year, gave us a loss of 10 crores. This time is in a profit of 3 crores. And this will only get better going forward. So very, very confident of maintaining this margin and only bettering this.

Well, that's a strong commentary. Secondly, with respect to demand, while we understand, I think April was slow for us and, you know, May and June saw pickup. How has July been for us? If you could quantify some numbers here. And also, we keep hearing very mixed things about Morvi. At times it is shut, at times it is opening up. What is the situation and how are even exports doing?

So, first of all, April was not slow. April was slow because there was no material available in Morbi. There was only that much material available and even our plants about, because there was a restriction of 60% and then 80%, so some of our lines were also shut. And a lot of the material has already gotten out in March. Therefore, we were also at lower capacity utilization from that point of view, considering that we didn't have enough gas, which normalized in May. And Morbi, there is no ambiguity there. It is not shut or closed. It has been open since May. Of course, they took 20 days to completely normalize because of labor unavailability. But May and onwards, they've been absolutely 100% capacity. 15% to 17% of Morbi, which has not started, is never going to start. That never started even in May, and that's not started even today. The situation, as far as demand is concerned, of July. July with the rains, obviously, it is a tough month, but frankly, we've been able to push our sales.

Got that, sir. And thirdly, I just wanted to understand the gas pricing. What would be the pricing in Morbi versus your north and south plus?

Yes, our blended price comes in at about 68, and south, we are still buying partly in spot. So, south and Morbi are pretty much at the same level, which is close to mid-70, and in the north, it is slightly lower, which is around the 68-69 rupee level.

I understood, sir. That was pretty helpful. Thanks, thanks a lot, team.

This is for natural gas. This is the pricing for natural gas.

But is that your blended fuel cost? Because you also use biofuel. We would like to get your blended fuel cost for COTA-1.

No, no. What we have reported is a blended natural gas cost.

Could you help us with your blended cost for COTA-1 versus probably your COTA-4 blended cost?

I don't have that off-the-cuff because we do use a reasonable amount of biobar. Yeah, please.

Sure. Thanks, sir. All the best, sir. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Gunit Singh with Counter-Cyclical PMS. Please go ahead.

Hi, thank you for this opportunity. So, what kind of a price hike did we take in Q1?

We took a price hike of, you can take an average of about 16-17%.

Got it. So how much of a premium do we have over the players in Morbi in terms of realizations? Because of the higher input costs, I believe that Morbi also took price hikes and our premiums to them narrowed over the previous quarters. So how does it look like now?

I don't understand. When you mean higher input costs, what do you mean by that?

Higher gas prices. So, we don't have higher gas prices.

Gas prices are the same as what the other people in the country are getting.

No, what I'm saying is Morbi guys took a price hike, right? Because of higher gas prices.

Oh, that way. Okay. So, our price increase was about 16-17%. Morbi was just double of that because they were selling that much cheaper than us. So, obviously, when they have increased prices by more than double of what they were selling, the price gap between us and Morbi has reduced. Plus, do not forget that Morbi was buying propane and LPG earlier and not natural gas, and they were buying that in various different ways, which were not the cleanest of ways. So, now that they're buying Gujarat gas, then they have to rectify their books. So, that also narrows our landed pricing to the dealer versus Morbi price.

Got it. So our premium has basically narrowed despite the price hike. That's right. Okay. And currently in Q2, have we seen a fall in gas prices, our blended gas costs?

No. The prices of June and July, in fact, July is a little higher, marginally higher, but a little higher than what it was in May and June. And so is August. August is, again, slightly more marginally higher.

Got it. And how does the demand scenario look like for the rest of the year, given that the prices are also higher, but still demand is holding up? I think it was 2% higher in this quarter. So, I mean, how is the demand scenario and what kind of...

Demand looking good. Let's not forget that in the last 30 months, prices had reduced also by 15-16%. So that's been the price increase. So from that point of view, because of that scenario, it's been well accepted in the market. And demand seems to be absolutely good. Of course, there are these months of the rain, which is nothing to do with demand. It's more of an issue with the weather. But other than that, the demand is perfectly fine.

Got it. So, if we look at the current cycle or maybe the last five years, how would you compare our prices currently? I mean, are they mid-cycle or are they high?

I don't understand your question.

So, you mentioned that prices earlier were higher and they were reduced, right? So, I want to understand if today with the higher prices, with the price hike, Do we still... We're still lower than what we were five years ago. Okay, okay.

The cost of time five years ago was more than what it is today. Inflation adjusted.

Got it. Sir, so, despite, I mean, giving, despite a business growing over the previous five years, our company has developed... Hello? Yeah. Yeah, I'm saying despite our business growing over the previous five years, our company currently is trading at a market cap of 2,100 crores and around an EV bit of 8 to 9, which is 50% lower than our own historical PE, as well as maybe half of the valuation of our peers. So, and our stock price has given a negative 5% CAGR over the last five years, despite Sumani building a household brand. So, I would just request the management to consider, seriously consider the share buyback, because it would not only be the EPS Accretive. Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Good morning, sir.

For the further questions, if I can request you to rejoin the queue for follow-ups, please. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management is able to address questions from all the participants in the conference, we request you to limit to two questions each and rejoin the queue for any further follow-ups. Our next question comes from the line of Keshav Lahoti with HDFC Securities. Please go ahead.

Hi, thanks for your opportunity. We have seen the demand was slightly muted in March and April because of production shut and all. We are expecting the paint of demand to hit by June last quarter. Having to be seen, where is it? Sorry, I didn't get your question. So my question is, you know, sir, in last call you said March was slow, April has been slow because of, you know, supply issue. Possibly the expectation was once the supply issue will get normalized, it will be a pain of demand. So have we seen that or where are we on that front? Because Moldi has been shut, still volume growth is low single digit. So when should we expect, you know, high single digit volume growth?

No, we're getting a single-digit volume growth. In fact, now, we're getting not high single digits, but we're getting mid-single-digit volume growth, and this is looking good. Beyond the point, the biggest positive is that the price has been pushed into the market, and we're looking at very decent volume and value growth.

Got it. And sir, it's very heartening to hear you saying the margin, what you have shown in the last two quarters will continue. But just playing devil's advocate, what we have seen, you know, Moldy was shut, there was a supply crunch in the market, which will get normalized now, because Moldy have started operations, export is weak. So possibly, you know, the price cut and all those things possibly can play out in upcoming months, which can, you know, put a pressure on our margin. What are your thoughts on that?

So, my margins really have not gone up because of pricing. My margins have gone up because of operation efficiency, that we're producing 100% in our own plants and also our JV losses have come down. So, due to that, the margins have gone up and not so much of pricing. Pricing has only been a part two. I'm not earning anything from the pricing. So, if it goes down, so be it. As long as I'm producing 100% and my JVs are profitable, this margin will sustain. So, that's why I'm so confident.

Got it. That is good to hear. Last question from my side. What has been the Somani match has been a bit positive this quarter? How has that been?

Yeah, so Samani Max, last year, same quarter, we had a 7 crore rupee minus, and this time we have a 1.7 crore rupee minus, and going forward, even this would be controlled. So, if you remember, I had said that Samani Max, we will be in a situation which will be 10 crore rupees loss or less, and we are very, very confident of achieving that, only better in that.

Got it. Got it. Understood. Thank you. Thank you.

Our next question comes from Saket, an individual investor. Please go ahead.

Sir, my question was like, sir, as you say, let's see the EBITDA morning being maintained at this level. So like, sir, as your prices have increased and the price of Morbi has increased way higher. So because of this difference between the two getting narrow, that is why the margins are being maintained or like, like why, why are you seeing that the margins will be maintained going forward?

Because of operation efficiency, I just mentioned earlier, it's because of operation efficiencies.

So, sir, efficiency can come to one, suppose the Morbi comes up, suppose the prices of gas goes down and the Morbi again reduces the price of the products. So, in that case, there is a risk of...

If gas goes down, even we will reduce the prices of the products. Obviously, like we've passed it through, we will pass on the benefits also, but that does not take away my operation efficiencies of my JVs, which I've worked so hard last year, to make sure that they are efficient in terms of producing material and on. And the biggest part is that our own plants are producing at the fullest.

So for this year, what kind of volume would you see? Sorry to interrupt, Saakit, sir.

May we request you to return to the queue for further follow-ups, please, as there are several participants waiting for their turn. Thank you. Participants, please limit yourselves to two questions each and rejoin the queue for further follow-ups. Our next question comes from Viraj Kacharya with SIMPL. Please go ahead.

Yeah, hi. Thanks for the opportunity and competition on good numbers and challenging environment. Three questions. One is, see, I understand for the quarter you had a low single digit volume because supply side you were impacted because of Morbi. But at the same time you had a channel which was completely, you know, the inventory for the channel was very lean, right? Now supply is back to normal for you. How would you, if you were to give some color in terms of the channel inventory, is it back to normal now or, you know, any color you can give? And similarly on the corporate side, you know, project side, you know, how is the overall trend or, you know, any color you can give on that side?

What is the last question?

On the project side, I think earlier comments, thoughts were that project itself would also be a lever for growth in addition to retail.

Okay, understood. So, as far as the channel inventory is concerned, they had stocked up a lot in March, considering that they knew that in April there will be no production. But otherwise, since May, the channel inventory has come back to normal. In fact, the channel inventory is, again, fairly lean because they're quite careful because of the volatility in the gas pricing. They are presuming that the grass price will come down overnight, and then there may be a price reduction. So, channel people are not taking the inventory they should be taking. So, from that point of view, channel inventory is still not very lean like it was in April because there was no production, but they're not full to their brim. The second question on project is that yes, project is going to go up. Our total project was about 7-8% in retail and about 10-11% in government. This in totality will go up by about 3-4%.

Sir, then, if you, you know, understand, see, if you look at Q1 also, and I'm just doing a relative comparison in terms of volume growth, say the leader had a 6% volume growth, the other smaller players had a very high double digits volume growth or single digits, high single digits volume growth. So, incrementally with supply coming normal for you and, you know, you also focusing on the project side, why the conservatism in terms of the mid-singled volume growth guidance? I mean, just trying to understand the disconnect.

There is no disconnect. Industry leader has an advantage where they had higher in-house production. There's a particular category, which is polished with prepared tile, which we have completely exposed to Morbi. They have a small production of their own. Therefore, they were able to put that extra to 2.5% growth. Other than that, the guidance for us is single-digit, mid-single-digit growth is what we think would be absolutely achievable. Various people have promised, including us in the past, that we'll have high single-digit growth, low double-digit growth, but never has been delivered. So, we have been very, very cautious in what we are saying. Something which we will deliver for sure is our EBITDA margins and also our single-digit growth. As far as the smaller players are concerned, the base is very small, and I'm pretty sure it's not sustainable. And you will see that playing out from the next quarter onwards.

Got it. And any color you can give in terms of margin profile and the bathware and the, you know, construction equipment. Obviously, it's a very low base right now. But any color in terms of profitability and, you know.

It's about a percent better than our normal tile margins. Earlier, it used to be better because tile was underperforming. Now that tile is also performing with the capacity utilization going up, it's almost the same but slightly better.

Got it. Thank you and good luck. Thank you.

Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Sagar Jaktap with Marine Research. Please go ahead.

Commentation while I clear, the stop left. Thank you.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

All questions, my players. Best of luck team.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The next question comes from the line of Nilesh Sharma with Monomer Capital. Please go ahead.

Sir, congratulations for good set of numbers. Sir, I just missed your initial commentary. What will be the total capacity at the end of this year?

At the end of this year, you mean 26-27?

Yeah, yeah.

At 26-27, there is no increase in capacity. Whatever increase, we're increasing the 3-4 million square meters, which is due to some balancing equipment to increase productivity within our own concerns. So there's no new line which we are putting in.

Okay, sir, any major capex plan?

Yes, the major CAPEX plan is the 9 plus millions per meter plant in the south, which is approximately 220 crore would be outlay, which is for next year.

And when next year? So next year will be operational? At the end of next year, like 28th operation?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. End of the quarter three, beginning quarter four of next year will be operational.

Okay, 9 million and CAPEX is 220 crore.

More or less, yeah.

And most of that will be funded by internal accruvals, if I'm not wrong. Yes.

About 60% with internal accruals.

Okay. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Kalpesh with Valentis Advisors. Please go ahead.

Yeah, hi. Congratulations for the great side of Numbasa. My question related to the Mubi. So Mubi's export is down. So is there any chance that, you know, they can dump domestically or the product category is different so they can't dump here?

No, Morbi's export is down as an independent situation over there.

So, that will also, the bright side of that is there will be a pent-up demand when the export opens.

Okay, but they can't, you know, put the pressure over here in the domestic market because they are not able to sell in export.

So, unfortunately, at these kinds of gas prices, there's not much they can do.

And, you know, you've been consistently showing the 11 plus card margin back-to-back. So, you know, is it sustainable if we can, you know, up the guidance to, like, a 12 person?

Yes, absolutely. That's the target that we achieve 12% and more. But currently, we are very confident of showing the 11 plus percent margins, which we showed last quarter and this quarter. So that is something which is very, very confident. And we do believe that we are doing everything possible to go beyond 12%.

All the best. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Shruti Mulchandani with Ikigai Asset Management. Please go ahead.

Hi, sir. I hope I'm all in. Thank you, sir, and congratulations on a great set of numbers. So, the first question I have is that, you know, I understand that the industry currently, in Cuba especially, faced more supply constraints than demand problems. The demand was there. And having said that the outsourcing partners we had in Morvi, they were not able to supply to us. And, you know, that's the reason why despite growing the capacity or the volume in our own facilities at a very impressive rate, but because of degrowth in the outsourcing part, the overall volume growth came to be around 2% to 3%. So, I just wanted to understand from Q2 onwards, will we see the support coming from the outsourced and clear technical, you know, because more we have started to kind of start the production again. And with that, our capacity utilizations will remain at the same level. Do we see that, you know, the outsourcing supply coming in, that will be impacted?

No, our capacity utilization will be high, and I think we're not getting enough material enough today, but that's nothing to do with the supply side of Morbi. Geographically, we have plants in the south, north, and west, so there's only so much we can buy from the west. Therefore, in the north and in the south, we have more demand than what we can procure. Procuring from Morbi beyond the point becomes counterproductive because of freight. So from that point of view, we're looking very good as far as demand is concerned. Therefore, we are extremely confident of... Of keeping our production, our own production at 100% capacity utilization, which is a major, major kicker to the EBITDA. And therefore, we are extremely confident of the EBITDA. Last year, we had a loss of about 24-25 crore rupees in our JVs. This year, we will be in a net profit. So, the swing will be more than 30 crore rupees from last year. So that's something which we are very confident in terms of the volume. And I've already answered as to why we are seeing that we will not be in a position to reduce our capacity.

I understood. So this is helpful. And so having said this, you know, with the EBITDA margin sustaining at these levels, and I believe the guidance for FY27 was 100 and 150 basis points higher than FY26. So are we in a position to increase the guidance on that trend?

Yes, absolutely. It all depends on capacity utilization and product exchange. The big kicker, like I said, was capacity utilization. So as long as that is happening, EBITDA margins are sustainable and will only become better. Like I said, our JVs are also coming to a situation where it's in a profit, but there's a lot more which we can do within the JVs to increase their profit, and that's exactly what I mentioned earlier in the call. That we are doing some balancing equipment to increase capacity in the JVs and in our wholly owned subs to further augment capacity. And when we augment that capacity, everything there goes to the bottom line. So, very confident of maintaining this EBITDA margin for now and then increasing it as and when the quarters unfold in 3 and 4.

I understand. And so just on the balance in the equipment, so that capacity will also come in in FI 28 along with the 9 million square meter plant that will be reflecting in FI 27?

No, 9 million square meters will only come in towards third quarter of next year. That is a virtually a greenfield plant. So everything needs to be made from the land building capital. Sorry, land we have, but the building and capital, all that, that will happen only in 15 months.

The balance of equipment, the debottled making?

That is happening now, most of which will be concluded by end of quarter three.

Got it. Got it. And because they are value added, so the margins will be higher than what we have today.

Correct. So in quarter four, you will get the effect of all those efforts which we have taken, and we'll demonstrate that. Until then, we will hold this margin or maybe slightly better.

Understood. And so just lastly, what would be the CAPEX, you know, the absolute amount for FY27 and 28 with these plans that we have?

So from now to 27th end, we have already looked at approximately a 275 crore rupee outlay, which includes the 220 crore rupee plant plus balancing equipment in various other plants and some more balancing equipment in the bathwater sanitary ware plants. So, all put together, we are at the power of 275, and we will be funding about 65-70% of this through internal rules. So, again, we are not putting pressure on the balance sheet at all. And the loan which will be taken, the small loan which will be taken in the joint venture with no corporate guarantee from Jumani's side. And the joint venture is a 60-40, so therefore, that's going to be in that joint venture.

Understood, sir. This was helpful. Thank you for the answer.

Thank you. Before we take the next question, a reminder to all the participants, if you wish to register for a question, you may press star and 1 now. The next follow-up question comes from the line of Saket and individual investor. Please go ahead.

Sir, I wanted to ask for the people's standard on their 83% of this one. So, going forward, do you see the utilization further increasing, sir?

You mean capacity utilization?

Yeah, yeah, sir.

Yes, capacity utilization will further improve.

So, sir, what level it can go like that?

It's the first quarter in April, we had some lines which were shut. A couple of lines were in maintenance. This quarter also we had two lines under maintenance, but it will improve slowly and steadily because we are doing a lot of balancing equipment to augment capacity, which is only going to lead to better EBITDA margins in the future. But I think the current scenario would be that we will be slightly better in this quarter in capacity.

So, like with current capacities we have, sir, and at current prices of going for tiles, what was the maximum revenue we can have with JV and our own capacity?

Approximately... Approximately, 3,700 crores. More or less, give or take 50 crores. At today's price.

And with the bottleneck, we are doing by year-end, it might increase the 300 crores more.

Yes, partly yes.

Okay, okay.

Thank you. Participants, if you wish to ask a question, you may press star and 1. Sir, we have one more follow-up question. Should we take that? Thank you. We have a next follow-up question from Saket, an individual investor. Please go ahead.

Sir, I just have one for the query. We see the industry leader is having margins close to 18-19%, and we are having close to 11% as of now. So what is the reason that we have struck difference between the top and second player?

I mean, there's many, many areas of discussion, so maybe it's best we take it offline.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that was the last question in the queue. As there are no further questions, I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. Sumani for closing remarks.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for being patient and joining us for the Q1 earnings call for FY2627. We remain positive for the entire year for both the single-digit margin, single-digit volume growth and also a double-digit margin or the margins which we've given today. We'll only better that going forward and all efforts the company is doing to make sure that we increase even on the volume front. So look forward to meeting you all in the quarter two on this call. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you very much. On behalf of SKP Securities Limited, that concludes the conference call. Thank you, everyone, for joining us. Ladies and gentlemen, and you may now disconnect your lines. Thank you.
