Dalmia Bharat Earnings Call Transcript: Key Takeaways

Dalmia Bharat reported a weak Q2 with EBITDA/ton dropping to ₹698 due to East market floods and cost inflation. Despite volume growth, exceptional impairment charges for old thermal plants and brand transitions hurt the bottom line.

Highlights
Revenue growthVolumes up 3% YoY; revenue impacted by East price corrections.
MarginsEBITDA/ton contracted significantly to ₹698 from ₹746 (Ex-Central).
Demand visibilityRobust outlook led by government capex and lower rainfall in West/South.
Management confidenceBalanced; optimistic on H2 recovery but defensive on short-term East pricing.

Growth

Volume grew 3% YoY to 7.1 MT; South and West saw double-digit growth, offsetting East's flood-led decline.

Outlook

Targeting 67 MTPA capacity by FY28; JP assets expected to hit 35-40% utilization by end of FY27.

Risks

Persistent fuel cost inflation (₹75-80/ton impact expected in Q3) and high debt-to-EBITDA (2x) following JP asset acquisition.
