Management Commentary​

Pankaj Rathod, Joint Managing Director of Cello World Limited, commented on the Q1 FY27 results, noting that the quarter was defined by a challenging demand environment and elevated input costs.

He stated that during Q1 FY27, while the company maintained healthy profitability with EBITDA and PAT margins at 22.2% and 13.9%, the business faced headwinds due to lower scale in its steel bottle business, which resulted from the unavailability of imported inventory compared to the previous year. Rathod added that in-house manufacturing of these steel bottles has commenced and is expected to gradually scale up in upcoming quarters.

Addressing inflationary pressures, he pointed out that discretionary spending remained subdued, affecting demand for most consumer ware products. However, he highlighted that the writing instruments division performed well, supported by the contribution from Cello Pens. The company also took a price increase on its consumer ware products to preserve underlying profitability, which resulted in sequentially better gross margins for Q1 FY27.

The Joint Managing Director added that the company is focused on improving operational efficiencies, product rationalization, expanding market reach, and maintaining good working capital control, anticipating progressive performance improvement going forward.
