Key Highlights:-

PAT for the quarter increasedby 37% year-on-year with PAT margin improving by 154 bps year-on-year to 8.1%.

Our wires and cablebusiness continued the strong momentum, with sales growing 13% year-on-year on a
relatively healthy base.

Revenue growth was driven by volumesales growth, which grew in double-digits on YoY basis. The highlight of the quarter was the strong momentum in the exports business which exhibited a remarkable growth of 75% year-on-year on a healthy base.

Overall, exports business contributed to 13% of the consolidated revenue inQ2 FY23, up from 6.7% last quarter.

The quarter was soft for FMEGbusiness as it de-grew 12% year-on-year on account of subdued demand environment due to high inflation, especially from rural markets. This was further exacerbated by the re-alignment of distribution strategy.

Took two very important strategic decisions duringthe quarter of merging the Fans vertical with Lights & Luminaries vertical; and merging the Retail wires vertical with Switches and Switchgear vertical.

Management Outlook:-

Strong sales momentum in switch business expected to continue in H2FY23 as well.

Identified gaps and opportunitiesand have created a product portfolio roadmap of 300+ new products to be launched in the coming future across large B2C businesses.

INR 400 cr of CAPEX expected to be incurred every year.

FMEG slowed down because of operational restructuring, growth expected to be reinstated in the coming years.

Out of this incremental CAPEX, 2/3rd will go towards wires & cables & 1/3rd towards FMEG.

Within cable and wire, it would be broad-based including in some facilities which arerequired for export businesses, a bit of backward integration as well as some amount of maintenance capex and on FMEG it is primarily for adding new capacity
