Q2 FY27 Earnings Conference Call
November 04, 2026
Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day and welcome to the investor call of Cosmo First Limited to
discuss the Q2 FY27 Results.
Today, we have with us from the Management, Chairman and Managing Director - Mr. Ashok
Jaipuria, Group CEO - Mr. Pankaj Poddar, Group CFO - Mr. Neeraj Jain, CEO Zigly and Head
Corporate Development - Mr. Saurabh Jain.

Now, may I request Mr. Ashok Jaipuria – Chairman and Managing Director, to take us through
his opening remarks. Thank you and over to you, Chairman Sir.
Ashok Jaipuria: Thank you. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and a very warm welcome to Cosmo First's
Q2 FY27 Earnings Conference Call.
As we enter the festive season, I extend warm Diwali greetings to all our investors,
stakeholders, and current and prospective shareholders. This is the first investor conference
call that I am attending, following several requests for my participation. We continue to
operate in a highly volatile environment. Developments such as the conflict in the Middle East,
volatility in petroleum markets, and broader global uncertainties are beyond the control of any
individual company and have created a challenging operating environment.
At Cosmo, we are trying to navigate each of these challenges. Some we are able to anticipate
and prepare for, and we have grown stronger through them, while others we are still grappling
with.
Coming to Cosmo, I broadly view the Company in two parts: our established B2B businesses
and our newer B2C verticals. Our B2B businesses are profitable, delivering profitable growth
and strengthening their market positions through a greater focus on specialty sales. At the
same time, our relatively nascent B2C businesses are scaling strongly, supported by sustained
investment in brand building and expansion. Profitability in these businesses will take time to
mature, although some have already reached a more mature stage and are delivering the
desired results.

Growth has always been very central to our philosophy, but we are very picky and choosy on
the growth as we remain focused on building and scaling businesses for the medium term. In
this journey, we are going to do two capacity additions to further enhance specialty products.
In H2 of FY27, one of the world's most advanced coating film line and 9 barrier sheet line for
which we will discuss further details. We have also moved towards a 10-meter line with the
highest speed and the biggest capacity in the world on our BOPP films last year. Polyester films
also, we have now gone on new products which for the first time in India and possibly in the
world to a large extent we are doing well and we are growing in those businesses of PETG which
we are hopeful that will stand us well in the future.
Our focus in the films business is on accelerating the specialty portfolio, strengthening the core
business model and having high level of customer satisfaction driving superior returns on
capital employed. Going forward, the growth CAPEX will be increasingly aligned towards the
specialty products and products with better margins, differentiation and capital efficiency.
Aligned with specialty strategy, we are adding 16,000 tons of high-end chemical coated film
capacity in second half of FY27.
Coming to specialty chemicals:
We continue to scale strongly with the H1 '27 revenue growing 59% to approximately Rs. 155
crore driven by three niche verticals of coating chemicals, masterbatches and adhesives. Our
medium term, we see this business building at close to Rs. 500 crore revenue with a 20% plus
ROCE supported by sustained growth across these three verticals.
Plastech, another business that we initiated two to three years ago with H1 '27 revenue
growing 73% to Rs. 75 crore as we continue to expand our presence in specialty rigid packaging.
The upcoming 9-layer barrier sheet film with 10,000 metric tons annual capacity will expand
our specialty product capabilities and support the next phase of growth with a relatively
modest capital investment.
Both the consumer businesses, Cosmo Consumer, which is the window films, paint protection
film and ceramic coatings and Zigly, our pet care business continue to scale up with 260% and
58% topline growth respectively in H1 '27 year-on-year basis.
In Cosmo Consumer encompassing window films, paint protection films and ceramic coatings,
our focus is on expanding the distribution network and strengthening market reach. Alongside
growing our domestic presence, we are increasing our focus on international markets and
exports, creating a larger addressable market for the business. This as you know is our ethos
and our culture in Cosmo that we believe that we should be competitive in the international
market also. Zigly continues to build scale in the pet care ecosystem with its network now
spanning on 48 centers including three hospitals with medical care, strengthening our
omnichannel presence and service capability. Going forward, our focus remains on scaling

services, particularly vet services and growing our private label portfolio along with grooming.
We believe it will support the sustained growth and an improved business mix vis-à-vis our
competition.
Going forward, company's priorities are very clear. Deliver sustainable growth across
businesses, improve ROCE, reduce our net debt while creating enduring value for all our
stakeholders. As you are aware, we have embarked on a CAPEX cycle of high investments in
the last three years which is roughly about Rs. 1,250 to 1,300 crore and now we will be in a
position to fully leverage the CAPEX done on various products. The company is also going for
further increase in renewable power as we believe both in the environment and economic
benefit to the company. By next year, renewable power is expected to account for
approximately two-thirds of our power requirements. This will support our sustainability
objectives and generate estimated annual power-cost savings of approximately Rs. 25 crore to
Rs. 30 crore.
Coming to Cosmo performance for September ‘26 quarter, we had a good quarter. Our
consolidated sales have grown by 51% and EBITDA has grown by 38% on year-on-year.
Now, while Neeraj will share with you the financial results of the company, I would also like to
