Arvind Singhania, Chairman, Ester Industries, said: “The external operating landscape witnessed a significant turnaround during the Q4FY26. The persistent headwinds that pressured the Biaxially-oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate (BOPET) Film segment through most of FY26 are steadily abating, driven by favourable regulatory and trade developments. The reciprocal and punitive trade tariff imposed by USA has been rejected by Supreme Court of USA. However, USA government has now imposed global tariff of 10%. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has imposed anti-dumping duties on BOPET Film imports from China and few other countries. A formal notification from the Ministry of Finance is expected in due course, establishing a level playing field and providing meaningful relief to domestic manufacturers. Domestic BOPET Film industry witnessed margin expansion during Q4FY26 due to increase in global prices on account of increase in prices by Chinese producers and inflationary geo-political situation as well as depreciation of rupee. Implementation of the Plastic Waste Management Rules (PWMR) triggered strong demand acceleration for BOPET Films featuring Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content and recycled PET (rPET). This trade environment directly accelerated our financial recovery and growth in Q4FY26. Consolidated income for Q4FY26 grew by 7.2% YoY to Rs 345.1 crore. EBITDA increased by 10.7% to Rs 43.3 crore, delivering a 12.5% margin. Excluding non-cash mark-to-market losses on foreign currency liabilities, core operational EBITDA margins stood at a healthy 15.5%. Profit After Tax (PAT) surged to Rs 7.87 crore, representing a strong recovery from the Rs 1.96 crore recorded in Q4FY25. For the FY26, consolidated income rose 7.2% to Rs 1,392.7 crore, driven by robust growth in Specialty Polymers and rPET. Capacity utilization of BOPET film improved to 78%. The Board of Directors have proposed a dividend of Rs 0.25 per share for FY26 to the shareholders of Ester Industries Limited. We are pleased to report that the Company has successfully secured Rs 165.25 crore against its Rs 175 crore share warrant issue. This substantial capital infusion underscores the deep confidence our promoters and investors place in the Company’s long-term value proposition and growth trajectory. Looking ahead, management remains highly optimistic regarding our medium-to-long-term performance prospects. Sustained regulatory shifts like the PWMR mandate will continue to push brand owners toward sustainable packaging film solutions. The Company is actively collaborating with ecosystem partners to capture this demand. By aggressively focusing on a premium specialty product mix, embedding sustainable innovation, and optimizing operational efficiencies, we are securely positioned to deliver sustainable, profitable growth. The Management of the Company thanks all stakeholders for their continued trust and support.” Result PDF

Containers & Packaging company Ester Industries announced Q3FY25 results Revenues: Rs 351 crore compared to Rs 272 crore during Q3FY24, change 29%. EBITDA: Rs 65 crore compared to Rs -15 crore during Q3FY24. EBITDA margin: 18.5% for Q3FY25. PAT: Rs 25 crore compared to Rs -45 crore during Q3FY24. Arvind Singhania, Chairman, Ester Industries, said: “We are pleased to report that we have not only sustained the business momentum from previous quarter but have further accelerated it during Q3 as can be seen from the revenues and profitability growth. While both our businesses performed well, the films business in particular delivered a healthy performance. Specialty Polymer business as well registered healthy growth on a YoY basis. Specialty Polymer, on YoY basis, registered a healthy revenue growth of 55% during the quarter driven by steady traction for our marquee products MB03 and Innovative PBT. We expect this positive business trajectory to continue in the coming years, underpinned by a robust product pipeline and a strong competitive edge due to the absence of competition in the sector. As far as Film business is concerned, we have seen a sharp improvement in the margin profile and profitability of the business during the quarter. While the volumes continued to remain elevated, increased contribution from exports of high margin Value Added products aided the overall profitability of the business. Exports volumes registered a strong growth of 27% during the quarter. During the 9 months ending Dec 24, the proportion of Value-Added products increased from 18% (9MFY24) to 26%. Various initiatives to transform Ester from a commodity to specialty film player are being pursued diligently. We expect profitability improvement to sustain over the coming years on the back of better product mix i.e. share of high margin business and operating leverage Furthermore, the introduction of the Plastic Waste Management Rules (PWMR), which will require a minimum of 10% recycled content in flexible packaging laminate expected to be effective from next year, is likely to further stimulate demand for Polyester Film as conversions from alternative substrates to polyester take place. I am pleased to report that the execution of our joint venture plans with Loop Industries is advancing according to the established timeline. We are diligently pursuing various activities related to the project's implementation Looking ahead, our strong position in both Strategic Business Units (SBUs) gives us confidence in our ability to create value for our shareholders, particularly in light of the robust fundamentals of each business” Result PDF
