In a statement, Mr. Vayu Garware, CMD, Garware Technical Fibres Ltd. said, "Our financial performance has been significantly impacted this quarter. This is primarily due to a significant delay of capex decisions in the North European Salmon Aquaculture Industry, which led to sluggish order flows in Hi. However, order flow has been normalizing in Q3 and we expect to catch up a significant part of this back log by the year end. Chile has continued to remain very strong and due to that, goods in transit to Americas has increased two times compared to H1FY25. These will be billed in Q3 and Q4 locally but have temporarily resulted in an increase in inventory and corresponding reduction in sales and cash flows. Some new product launches in Norway are showing excellent initial response from the market, and we expect to roll these out in other markets soon.
USA tariffs have also impacted margins in our Sports Net business to some extent though we have been able to retain all our customers and they continue to place fresh orders.
Geosynthetics business continues its excellent growth momentum on profitability as well as ROCE.
The acquisition of OTS Norway has been completed and is now consolidated in our results in this quarter.
With significantly better visibility in the Salmon Aquaculture business, we are confident that we should be able to deliver stronger results by the year end.
