Commenting on the Q4FY25 performance, Haridas Kanani, Chairman & Managing Director, Neogen Chemicals said: "We have closed FY25 on a strong note, achieving 13% revenue growth & 24% improvement in EBITDA. We accomplished this against a difficult & challenging global industry backdrop. This led to weak pricing, despite some pockets of domestic demand resilience. In addition, our Dahej plant was not fully operational towards the end of Q4 due to the fire incident. Our solid performance was a result of our ability to swiftly adapt to a challenging environment by strategically pivoting towards product applications that had favorable demand. Concerning the recent fire incident at our Dahej plant, I would like to reassure all our stakeholders that this is just a temporary setback. With our dedicated team and unwavering resolve, we are confident we will not only overcome the setback but emerge stronger and more efficient. In fact, we have already begun construction of another plant at an adjacent location at the same site which will replace the existing plant. We are making strong progress on the Neogen Ionics' Lithium Salts and Electrolytes project. As several domestic battery manufacturers are set to commence production in FY26, boosting demand for battery materials, we are also on track to commission, by the end of FY26, our greenfield Battery Materials facility, using MUIS technology. While FY25 was a challenging year, the road ahead looks promising. Neogen Chemicals is well poised to leverage its expertise across multiple chemistries to drive sustained growth going forward. In addition to actively focusing on higher-value specialty chemicals, significant contribution from upcoming lithium-ion battery materials segment will further diversify our revenue streams and accelerate our growth trajectory.” Result PDF
