  • Healthy volume growth in B2C lighting categories such as ceiling lights, battens and accessories


  • B2B segment demonstrated strong growth during the quarter led by streetlight and industrial segments; we secured large projects from NHAI, TCS, JSW, Megha Engineering & Infrastructure Ltd.


 


Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances Ltd. revenue declined by 11% YoY


  • Revenue and profitability impacted by one-time settlements and extraordinary items


  • Core categories revenue sustained along with stable market share and regional chain stores continued to grow for the fourth consecutive quarter


  • New product launches and premiumization contributed substantially to Q4 revenue


  • Subdued EBIT margins was primarily due to stepped up investments in marketing activities (2.4x spend), crystallisation of full year Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) liability of Rs 1.2 cr, reorganization of bottle and flasks sourcing and certain one-time settlements with channel partners.

     


Commenting on the CGCEL’s performance, Promeet Ghosh, MD & CEO, said, “We launched Crompton 2.0 in June’23 which outlined our renewed focus towards accelerating revenue growth which is progressing well and translating into healthy margins. We delivered strong performance in ECD with double-digit growth for the third consecutive quarter with robust improvement in industry leading EBIT margins. The lighting business is showing signs of stabilization with revenue growth in H2 despite price erosion. We expect the intense summer season and uptick in demand for home & kitchen appliances to support the growth momentum while we continue to investment in growth initiatives.”
