Centrum Broking Report

Ultratech Cement Ltd. reported in-line Ebitda of Rs 26 billion, down 18% QoQ driven by lower grey cement realisation (down ~2.5% QoQ) and higher operating cost.

The company managed to contain power and fuel cost (up ~3% QoQ), despite sharp increase in coal and pet coke prices, primarily due to low cost inventory.

Ebitda/tonne stood at Rs 1,269, down ~18% QoQ.

Higher volume and better cement realisation (UltraTech Cement took average price hike of Rs 10-15/bag in October) should offset higher fuel cost, thereby improving margins in Q3 FY22.
