However, the company's net consolidated total income saw a decline of 18.52%, falling to Rs 706.86 crore in Q2 FY25 from Rs 867.50 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.
Ajay Kumar Bansal, the Chairman and Managing Director of Hi Tech Pipes, attributed the decline in revenue from operations to the steep reduction in raw material prices. Despite this, the company has shown resilience by focusing on value-added products and efficient cost management. This strategic approach has resulted in a significant 57.66% growth in EBITDA, with EBITDA per tonne rising by 28.66% year-on-year.
Bansal further highlighted the financial improvements the company has made, including a reduction in net working capital days, an improvement in the debt-equity ratio, and better returns with ROCE increasing to 14.53%.
Post the quarter ended September 30, 2024, Hi Tech Pipes completed a qualified institutional placement (QIP). The company allotted 2,69,96,734 equity shares of face value Rs 1 each to eligible qualified institutional buyers at an issue price of Rs 185.50 per equity share (including a premium of Rs 184.50 per equity share), aggregating to Rs 501 crore. This move is expected to strengthen the company's financial position and provide additional resources for future growth.
In terms of sales, the company has seen a significant increase in volumes. Total sales volumes grew by 22.50% to 1.23 lakh tonnes in Q2 FY25, up from 1 lakh tonnes in the same period last year. This growth is primarily attributed to the increased demand for steel tubes, structural steel products, and value-added products.
