UFLEX Limited Q1 FY27
What went well
- Consolidated revenue grew 38% Y-o-Y to Rs. 53,972 million, driven by overseas operations (80% incremental revenue).
- EBITDA rose 92% Y-o-Y to Rs. 9,198 million, achieving the highest EBITDA performance in 21 quarters, with margin expanding 480 bps to 17%.
- Normalized EBITDA grew 78% Y-o-Y to Rs. 8,373 million, with margin at 15.5%, reflecting significant improvement in overseas profitability.
What to watch
- Overall Packaging volumes slipped 8.4% year-on-year to 37,285 metric tons due to strategic shift to high-margin products in India and softness in Aseptic Packaging.
- Aseptic Packaging in India faced challenges from duty-free imports at aggressive prices, leading to slower expansion in this quarter.
What UFLEX Limited does
UFlex is India's largest multinational flexible packaging and solutions company, running a vertically integrated chain from virgin and recycled PET chips through BOPET/BOPP/CPP packaging films to finished flexible packaging, aseptic liquid-carton packaging, printing cylinders, holograms, and packaging inks and adhesives. It manufactures locally in each region it serves - India, the UAE, Egypt, Nigeria, Poland, Hungary, the CIS, the USA and Mexico - rather than exporting from a single hub, and supplies FMCG, food and beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical and cosmetics brands in over 150 countries.
