Huhtamaki India shared its Q2 FY25 earnings presentation along with its results filing. Net sales declined 4.7% year-on-year to ₹591.94 crore, weighed down by lower volumes. Despite weak top-line growth, profitability improved sharply — EBITDA grew 28.7% YoY to ₹49.27 crore, with EBITDA margins expanding from 6.2% to 8.3%, supported by a favourable sales mix and ongoing efficiency programmes. Profit before tax (excluding exceptional items) rose 55.2% YoY and EPS grew 56.1%. For H1 FY25, sales fell 2.4% to ₹1,184.98 crore while EBITDA grew 13% to ₹99 crore. The company remains net debt-free with ₹155.7 crore in cash, ₹125 crore parked in liquid mutual funds, and ₹371.9 crore in unutilised bank limits. Operating working capital was higher due to increased inventory and receivables.
Margin expansion and a debt-free balance sheet with strong cash reserves are positives for shareholders, signalling operational discipline even in a soft demand environment. However, the continued volume-led decline in net sales remains a concern that could cap valuation upside if the trend persists.
