The refinery division delivered strong performance due to firm international sugar prices and high export volumes.  

Shree Renuka Sugars Limited – one of India’s largest sugar and green energy (ethanol and renewable power) producer and a subsidiary of Wilmar Sugar and Energy Pte Ltd (formerly known as Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte Ltd) Singapore – has reported its financial performance for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2024.

In FY24, Company posted 25 per cent growth in revenue from Rs 91,065 million to Rs 1,13,674 million. Company’s EBITDA for the year stood at Rs 7,560 million, an increase of 5 per cent over the last year of Rs 7,196 million. In FY24, the company strategically invested Rs 3,450 million in Anamika to derisk the business geographically. Company’s Profit Before Tax Loss for the year widened to negative Rs 4,618 Mn vs negative Rs 1,796 million over the last year.

In Q4FY24 company’s Revenue went up by 25 per cent from Rs 86,862 million to Rs 108,981 million. Company’s EBITDA for FY24 was sustained at last year’s levels – Rs 7,195 million. The refinery division delivered strong performance due to firm international sugar prices and high export volumes.  Ethanol and Sugar segment were a drag due to restrictive government policy on Ethanol.

Atul Chaturvedi, Executive Chairman said, “The company has displayed strong momentum, anchored by the Refinery division’s strong performance driven by firm international sugar prices and high export volumes. The domestic business was impacted due to lower production & sales volumes on account of drought induced low cane availability and restrictive policies on Ethanol.

Our flagship Consumer Pack brand Madhur continued to grow. Further, higher net realization especially in domestic sugar and refinery businesses resulted in stable Q4 performance. Our consolidated total income has increased by 25 per cent over the previous year. The company’s resilience is driven by its robust business model”.

Sunil Ranka, Chief Financial Officer said, “Shree Renuka Sugars has delivered a stable financial performance driven by the strong topline and consolidated EBITDA growth of 5 per cent. Though our company’s EBITDA is comparable amongst the peers, the interest cost has escalated due to the upward movement in the borrowing rates along with additional working capital requirements for our refinery division thereby resulting in higher interest burden and impacting the profitability of the Company”

The operating performance continues to be driven by higher Revenues and EBITDA due to improved realizations across all segments.

Shree Renuka Sugars Limited – one of India’s largest sugars and Green Energy (ethanol and renewable power) producer and a subsidiary of Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte Ltd, Singapore – has reported its financial performance for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2023.

 Highlights for 9MFY24:

  • Total income for 9MFY24 up by 16 per cent over the previous year from Rs 65,993 to INR 76,763 million.
  • The EBITDA for 9MFY24 stood at Rs 4,785 Mn, an increase by 10 per cent over last year of Rs 4,368 million.
  • Domestic sugar sales volume was up by 3 per cent at 247K MT.
  • Refinery exported 1,026K MT vs 1,062 MT in LY.

 Sales realisation rose to Rs 56K/MT vs 43K/MT LY in view of the firm international values.  Distillery produced during 9MFY24, 11.73 Crores litres Vs 12.16 Crores litres LY due to regulatory ban on ethanol production from cane juice and limiting production from BH molasses.

Atul Chaturvedi, Executive Chairman, said, “The third quarter’s results reflect our steadfast growth in our operations despite the regulatory headwinds of restricted production of Cane Juice & ‘B’ Heavy Ethanol. The global economy continues to face multiple macroeconomic and geopolitical shocks. In spite, of all these challenges, Renuka is successfully progressing ahead. Our total income for 9MFY24 has increased by 18 per cent over the previous year. The company posted a strong 9MFY24 performance driven by improved realizations across all segments.”

Sunil Ranka, Chief Financial Officer said, “Renuka Consol has delivered a stable financial performance in the third quarter with an 9MFY24 EBITDA growth of 13 per cent. Refinery revenues and margins were better as compared to the previous year, which has enabled the EBITDA levels to move upwards to Rs 4,743 Mn from Rs 4,213 million in the previous year. Cane production is likely to be lower in Karnataka and Maharashtra States. Our Anamika acquisition in U.P. (North India) has vindicated the strategy of de-risking geographically and the said unit has performed well as compared over last year which is included in the above results.”

Total income up by 18 per cent over the previous year from Rs 19,401 million to Rs 22,865 million Refinery contributed 70 per cent of the topline.

Shree Renuka Sugars Limited – one of India’s largest sugars and green energy (ethanol and renewable power) producers and a subsidiary of Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte Ltd, Singapore has reported its financial performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Highlights of the results for Q1-FY24 are summarized below –

  • Total income up by 18 per cent over the previous year from Rs 19,401 million to Rs 22,865 million. Refinery contributed 70 per cent of the topline.
  • Gross profit has improved from Rs 3,048 million to 3,562 million up by 17 per cent.
  • EBITDA has improved from Rs 1,102 Mn to 1,468 million up by 33 per cent. EBITDA margin improved by 74 bps.
  • Volume growth was led by 1) Domestic sugar sales (up by 33 per cent) of which Consumer pack sales (grew by 9 per cent) and 2) Refinery (2 per cent).
  • Distillery had a record production of 4.67 crore litres despite being off season due to availability of stored molasses, compared to 4.62 crore litres produced in the previous year.

Atul Chaturvedi, Executive Chairman said, “This quarter’s results must be seen in the light of inflationary headwinds, high interest rates, weakening currency and disruption caused at our Kandla refinery by cyclone Biparjoy. We have commenced the first quarter on a positive note and achieved healthy growth. Our total income for the quarter has increased by 18 per cent over the previous year. Revenues have grown significantly across all segments with upside in our refinery and sugar business. The delay in the onset of monsoon in the country was offset due to the torrential rains in the sugarcane belts of Maharashtra and Karnataka in June and we anticipate adequate sugarcane availability in the upcoming season. With the further thrust on ESG initiatives, our organic manure “BHU SANJIVANI” was launched at our Munoli unit (Karnataka) recently which is expected to improve soil health and increasing farmer’s income by increasing quantity and quality of their crop yield.

 Sunil Ranka, Chief Financial Officer said, “Shree Renuka Sugars has delivered one of the best performances in the first quarter with a gross profit growth of about 17 per cent and EBITDA growth of 33 per cent. The current results demonstrate our unwavering commitment to operational excellence and providing superior results to our stakeholders.

High volumes and margins propped EBITDA up to Rs 1,468 Mn from EBITDA of Rs 1,102 million in the previous year. Even after increase in the FRP (fair and remunerative price), which is likely to lead to some cost escalation, the same should not pose a problem as the macro environment is supportive and the industry expects further upward improvement in the ethanol purchase price. Good monsoon, strong sugarcane planting and government policies will continue to keep Renuka on the accelerated growth path.”

At Consolidated level for the FY23, the total income went up by 40 per cent over the previous year from Rs 65,016 Mn to Rs 91,065Mn. The overall EBITDA stood at Rs 7,196 Mn up by 45 per cent as compared to Rs 4,971 Mn during the previous year.

Atul Chaturvedi, Executive Chairman said, “The company performance displayed strong momentum, anchored by domestic sugar and ethanol businesses despite early closure of crushing season. Domestic demand growth, improved capacity utilization and higher net realization, especially in sugar and refinery businesses, resulted in stable Q4 performance. Our total income has increased by 40% over the previous year. The expanded ethanol production capacity from 720KLPD to 1250 KLPD was commissioned in March 2023 and its full benefit is expected to be visible from the next financial year onwards. The company resilience is driven by its business model and strategy with improving capacity expansion and utilization.”

 Sunil Ranka, Chief Financial Officer commented, “Shree Renuka Sugars has delivered a stable financial performance driven by the highest ever strong topline and EBITDA growth of about 51 per cent. Though our Company’s EBITDA is better amongst the peers, stress in US & European Banks adversely influenced the domestic interest rates and kept the Rupee weak, thus resulting in higher interest burden and impacting the profitability of the Company. Our new bioethanol capacity expansions and increased market share of branded sugar are rebuilding our business to rejuvenate our growth story. We reaffirm our commitment to maximizing our growth and profitability.”

Shree Renuka Sugars Limited – one of India’s largest sugar and green energy (ethanol and renewable power) producers and a subsidiary of Wilmar Sugar Holdings Pte Ltd, Singapore – has reported its financial performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Highlights of the results for the quarter are summarized below.

Total income up by 141 per cent over the previous year from Rs 8,067 Mn to Rs 19,401 million.

 The company posted strong Q1 performance driven by double digit volume growth and higher margins across all its business segments compared to a year ago.

Distillery had a record production of 4.62 crore litres despite being off season due to availability of stored molasses, compared to 1.84 crore litres produced in the previous year.

Commodity markets remain very volatile, compelling Government to resort to export restrictions. Our total income for the quarter has increased by 141 per cent over the previous year. Revenues have grown significantly across all segments with better sales realization.

With the onset of good monsoon in the country, we anticipate better sugarcane availability in the upcoming season (October-September) also. Besides improving the balance sheet and cash flows of sugar mills, higher ethanol sales has ensured timely payment of cane dues to farmers and balance out sugar inventories. We remain very optimistic in the financial performance and overall growth of our Company.”

 Sunil Ranka, Chief Financial Officer said, “Shree Renuka Sugars has delivered a strong financial performance in the first quarter with a gross profit growth of about 311 per cent and EBITDA growth of 359 per cent.

Ethanol blending program has been a game changer for the sugar sector and this has de-risked the seasonal and cyclical nature of business. Good monsoon, strong sugarcane planting and government policies will keep Renuka on the growth path.”
