Despite a volatile global backdrop, our businesses continued to execute with discipline; Advanta and SUPERFORM delivered strong growth, while our crop protection businesses navigated phased demand and challenging weather. With rising commodity prices potentially setting the stage for better farm economics, we remain focused on building a stronger and future-ready UPL, and on creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.” Bikash Prasad, Group CFO, UPL Limited, added, ”Our first half performance underscores the resilience of UPL's earnings in a challenging environment. Eight consecutive quarters of margins and EBITDA growth reflect our continued focus on quality of earnings, sharper portfolio decisions and firm cost and capital discipline. These choices have allowed us to protect margins despite continued global headwinds. Our capital priorities are unchanged: converting earnings into cash, deleveraging and improving returns. Proactive refinancing and improved outlooks from S&P and CRISIL reflect a balance sheet that is getting stronger.” UPL Corporation Ltd.
