· The bottomline growth was aided by 43% YoY to Rs 116 crores against our estimates of Rs 107.9 crores. Tax expenses increased to 25% vs 21% in Q2FY22
View:
Demand for high grade ATBS has been increased in Q2FY23 and ATBS accounts for 50% of revenue, thus this impacted positively on revenue front. Vinati will have backward integration for MEHQ and Guaiacol we expect it to produce meaningful market share in the long run. Since ATBS has been witnessing strong growth along with decent performance from butyl phenols, one can expect this trend should continue from both of these segments in coming year.
Impact:
Positive
