Commenting on the quarterly results, Mr. Prakash P. Chhabria, Executive Chairman, Finolex Industries Limited said, “Second quarter is generally a drag on volume due to Monsoon. However, the Company has delivered higher volumes over last year, which reflects spur in demand. The financial results for the quarter had a severely adverse impact due to sharp correction in PVC prices against high priced inventory of raw material and finished goods. The silver lining is that the correction in commodity rates could further improve demand from consumers across segments. The Company is well positioned to sail through this trough of the cycle as it has a strong debt-free balance sheet with positive cash flows.”
