Summary of Latest Earnings Report from Clean Science and Technology

Summary of Clean Science and Technology's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.

Last updated:

In the Q1 FY25-26 earnings call, management provided an outlook that reflects a resilient business performance amidst global trade uncertainties. The standalone revenue decreased by 9% sequentially to INR 217 crores, while EBITDA and PAT stood at INR 101 crores and INR 77 crores respectively, achieving a record high EBITDA margin of over 46% since listing. Year-on-year sales remained steady, driven by a favorable product mix contributing to lower raw material costs (RMC), with established products contributing 83% to sales, up from 75% in Q4 and 80% in Q1 last year.

For the consolidated performance, total sales reached INR 240 crores, marking an 8% annual increase but a 6% sequential decline. Consolidated EBITDA was INR 100 crores with a 42% margin. The Heavy Anti-Lock Braking System (HALS) sales witnessed an upward trajectory, reporting an 8% sequential increase.

Management highlighted plans to commercialize advanced HALS grades priced between $11 to $35 per kg over the next two quarters, which they believe will positively impact margins. Capital expenditures of INR 80 crores were invested in the subsidiary Clean Fino-Chem Limited. Construction of Performance Chemical 1 is on track for a Q2 launch, and Performance Chemical 2 is expected to commercialize by Q4 FY26.

Looking ahead, management expressed an optimistic growth driver potential attributed to new product launches, estimating an addressable market expansion of over $1.7 billion within three quarters. The EBITDA growth guidance has been moderated to 15%-18% for the full year, given the prevailing market softness. The team remains positive about the gradual revenue acceleration anticipated from Q3 and Q4, driven by product developments and increasing market penetration.

Last updated:

Question 1: Could you please what is the capacity utilization across the categories like MEHQ, Guaiacol, Palmitate?

Answer: Our capacity utilization across segments is as follows: Performance and FMCG are around 75%, Pharma is approximately 68%, and HALS is about 22% for the last quarter.


Question 2: Are you seeing any offtake momentum towards INR210 crore target for FY '26 for HALS 944 and 783?

Answer: Yes, the volume performance for HALS 944 and 783 this quarter has been encouraging, and we observed a positive contribution from these two projects in our sales mix.


Question 3: How much amount was deployed in the quarter 1 for capex guidance?

Answer: We infused INR 80 crores in quarter 1. Additionally, we anticipate another INR 120 crores to be invested in the subsidiary company.


Question 4: What explains the sharp swing in the gross profit margin in standalone versus consolidated numbers?

Answer: The fluctuation is primarily due to last quarter's higher closing stock, resulting in lower RMC. This quarter, our RMC for the subsidiary was around 62% due to this accounting impact.


Question 5: Is the 18%-20% EBITDA growth guidance still achievable given current business conditions?

Answer: We believe it could be moderated to range between 15% and 18%. Factors like DHDT's ramp-up and new HALS contributions will give us more clarity by Q2 end.


Question 6: Will the premium HALS products target similar customers or require us to scout for new customers?

Answer: We will target a similar customer base. Offering higher-grade HALS will help us align with European competitors and increase customer confidence in our product range.


Question 7: What timeline can we expect for sampling and ramping up production for new products?

Answer: The timeline for sample approvals and ramping up can vary, typically ranging from 2 to 6 months depending on the market.


Question 8: Can you elaborate on the intent to reduce the promoter stake?

Answer: The Boob family intends to sell a fraction of their equity, reducing total promoter holding from 75% to approximately 51%. This is driven by estate planning purposes.


Question 9: Is there any early sign of competition for MEHQ/anisole derivatives?

Answer: Not at the moment. We have been able to maintain our established products' volumes and have not lost any market share to competitors.


Question 10: What are expectations regarding the HALS target volume for FY '26?

Answer: We aim to maintain our volume target of 4,500 tons for FY '26. The introduction of newer HALS grades is expected to support achieving this target.
