Garware Technical Fibres net profit swells 40.5% in Q2

For H1FY20, the net sales decreased by 8.2 per cent to ₹464.75 crore in H1FY20 as compared to ₹506.09 crore in H1FY19. Profit before tax decreased by 9.6 per cent to ₹85.74 crore in H1FY20 as compared to ₹94.84 crore in the same period last year.

“The first half results have been a mixed bag. On the domestic front, the cyclones as well as the extended rains affected our growth in the fisheries segment. In our international business, we have had some delays in receipt of substantial orders as many of the aquaculture customers gauged our new innovative V2 technology offerings before placing their requirements. However, we now have good visibility for the second half of the year and will look towards an improved year end result. On the plus side, we have had good working capital management in the first half, resulting in higher fund generation from operations,” said Vayu Garware, CMD, Garware Technical Fibres Ltd.
