Galaxy Surfactants Q3 FY25 results (Oct–Dec 2024) and concall

Galaxy Surfactants reported a challenging Q3 FY25 with an overall volume decline of 1% YoY, largely driven by a 7% drop in India due to demand softness and high inventory. Raw material price volatility, particularly a 40% rise in fatty alcohol prices, also impacted sentiment. Despite these headwinds, the RoW segment showed robust growth, and management remains confident in its long-term growth trajectory and new product pipeline, while revising FY25 EBITDA per metric ton guidance to around INR 19,000.
