Abhijit Roy, managing director & CEO of Berger Paints India, 'The progressive demand improvement seen in the previous quarter continued into the 4th quarter, which enabled the achievement of a healthy volume growth of 11.8% for the quarter. This growth was supported by a qualitative improvement in mix and softening of raw material prices, resulting in a 10-quarter high gross margin and operating profit margin. We continued to register healthy and robust growth in our key focus segments of waterproofing, construction chemicals and wood coatings. The positive market response to our new launch Kolor Plus in the premium emulsion segment is very heartening. Our efforts in network expansion and improving growth in low-market-share urban markets continue to show a positive uptick month on month, leading us to being hopeful of improved results going forward. The automotive segment performed strongly following the increased demand post-CST cuts and lower financing costs. This was closely followed by the general industrial segment, which also saw good growth. Protective and Powder Coatings registered improvements month on month, indicating a recovery in growth levels towards the end of the quarter. Our Nepal operations' performance remained impacted by the unstable political scenario & elections there, which is expected to now improve with the changed scenario. STP Limited's topline remained impacted, resulting in muted operating profitability due to scale. The gradual improvement in domestic demand indicators across segments and markets and the sequential monthly uptick in demand are all positive indicators, and results in the months ahead are expected to reflect these movements. The calibrated price increases of over 11% initiated in a staggered manner from end March '26 are expected to support the gross margin amid rising raw material costs. Forex volatility and geopolitical uncertainty continue to pose near-term margin risks on both supply disruptions and raw material inflation. At Berger Paints our efforts will remain focused on network expansion, product & service innovation and brand building aimed at improving value for our investors and stakeholders. Meanwhile, the company's board recommended a dividend of Rs 4 per equity share of face value Rs 1 each for FY26, subject to shareholders' approval at the company's 102nd annual general meeting. The board also approved the reappointment of Abhijit Roy as managing director and CEO for a further term of four years from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2031.
