Deputy Managing Director, along with the senior members of the management team from

I would like to hand over the call now to Dr. Bir for his opening remarks, following which we'll

Bir Kapoor: Thanks, Rohit. Good afternoon, everyone, and a very warm welcome to all of you for GFL's
Quarter 1 FY27 Earnings Call. For this call, I have with me my colleagues, Mr. Manoj Agrawal,
CFO of GFL; Mr. Kapil Malhotra, Business Head of Fluoropolymers; and Mr. Rajiv Rao,
Business Head of Battery Materials.
The company announced its Q1 FY27 results at the Board meeting held today. The results, along
with the earnings presentation are already available on the stock exchanges and on our website.
I'll briefly take you through the key financial highlights, followed by an update on our business
performance, demand environment and outlook.
The global business environment remains challenging with ongoing supply chain disruptions,
commodity price volatility and an increasingly complex operating landscape. At the same time,
the businesses are adapting to these evolving conditions, creating both challenges and
opportunities across markets for us.
Despite these market-specific challenges, GFL has delivered a strong start to FY27. Healthy
demand across key product categories, disciplined execution and improving operating leverage
enabled us to deliver broad-based growth across our core chemical businesses.
On a year-on-year basis, revenue from our Chemical segment increased 23% to INR 1,574
crores, compared to INR 1,281 crores in Q1 FY26. Chemical segment EBITDA grew 29% to
INR 458 crores from INR 354 crores, while segment PAT increased 33% to INR 261 crores.
This performance was primarily driven by strong growth in our fluoropolymer and
fluorochemical businesses.
At the consolidated level, revenue from operations grew 24% year-on-year to INR 1,588 crores.
EBITDA increased 24% to INR 428 crores, while consolidated PAT stood at INR 219 crores,
representing 19% growth over the same period last year.

Our performance was even stronger on a sequential basis. Within the Chemical segment, revenue
grew 16% quarter-on-quarter to INR 1,574 crores, while EBITDA increased 30% to INR 458
crores. EBITDA margin improved from 26% in Q4 FY26 to 29% in Q1 FY27, reflecting the
benefits of higher volumes, improved product mix and operating leverage. Segment PAT
increased 56% sequentially to INR 261 crores with PAT margins expanding from 12% to 17%.
At the consolidated level, revenue increased 16% quarter-on-quarter to INR 1,588 crores, while
EBITDA grew 39% to INR 428 crores. EBITDA margin also expanded from 22% to 27% and
consolidated PAT more than doubled to INR 219 crores, resulting in a PAT margin improvement
from 7% to 14%.
We also continue to make progress on key return and efficiency metrics during the quarter.
ROCE improved by 258 basis points to 16.6% in Q1 FY27 compared to 14% in FY26, while
ROE improved by 301 basis points to 15.18% from 12.17% in FY26. Our focus on working
capital efficiency has also yielded strong results with working capital days reducing by 43 days
to 149 days as of Q1 FY27 compared to 192 days as of Q4 FY26.
These improvements reflect not only the strength of our operating performance, but also our
continued focus on capital efficiency, cash generation and disciplined execution across the
organization.
Let me now take you through the performance and outlook of our key businesses. Starting with
fluoropolymers, we continue to see encouraging demand trends across the portfolio, supported
by improving volumes across fluoropolymers. The expansion of new-age applications is creating
attractive growth opportunities, particularly in areas such as semiconductors, data centers,
electronics, automotive, green hydrogen and advanced industrial applications.
We are also seeing a gradual improvement in product mix, supported by increasing contributions
from higher-value grades. Reflecting these trends, fluoropolymer revenue grew 15% year-on-
year and 8% sequentially during the quarter. This growth was achieved despite a challenging
global environment.
Moving to fluorochemicals. The business delivered an exceptionally strong quarter. Revenue
increased 52% year-on-year and 44% quarter-on-quarter, driven primarily by R32 refrigerant
sales, along with healthy growth across our refrigerant portfolio. As previously communicated,
we are expanding our R32 capacity, which is expected to be commissioned in Q2 FY27. With
existing capacity utilization already at peak levels, this expansion will enhance our ability to
participate in the growing global R32 market and support future demand growth.
In parallel, we continue to expand our refrigerant portfolio. Our R134A project remains on track
and is expected to be commissioned during this financial year. Combined with our integrated
manufacturing capabilities, established global marketing network and long-standing customer
relationships, this will further strengthen our ability to serve growing refrigerant demand across
both domestic and international markets. A more complete bouquet of products will enable us
to leverage the strong brands that we have built globally over the last three decades.
