Summary
- Pidilite expects to manage raw material price inflation without major margin impact.
- Company aims to secure essential raw material supplies amidst Middle East conflict.
- Operating profit margins are projected to remain within the 20-24% target band.
Pidilite, a prominent adhesive manufacturer, has indicated its strategy for managing current raw material price inflation. The company plans to absorb some of the increased costs while passing on the remainder to customers through pricing adjustments. This balanced approach is expected to prevent significant impacts on its profitability.
Amidst the continuing conflict in the Middle East, Pidilite's managing director, Sudhanshu Vats, highlighted the immediate focus on securing essential raw material supplies. He expressed confidence that the company's operating profit margins would be maintained within the established target band of 20-24%.
Vats noted that prior to the recent geopolitical tensions, benign raw material prices had allowed the company's margins to sit at the higher end of this target range. He stated that the company will carefully evaluate the situation as raw material prices fluctuate.
Looking ahead, Pidilite is focused on making strategic investments for future growth, prioritizing key business objectives. The company remains committed to its financial targets despite the evolving economic landscape.
