On November 13, 2024, Cello World, a leading player in the consumerware market, reported a marginal growth in its revenue and profits as the writing Instruments business de-grew by 8% mainly due to lower exports.
In the quarter, EBITDA amounted to ₹131.9 crore, a 1% increase from ₹130.9 crore in Q2 FY24. The EBITDA margin also saw a marginal rise, reaching 26.9% compared to 26.8% in the same period last year.
In the revenue breakdown, the consumer ware segment generated ₹342.1 crore, reflecting a 5% year-on-year growth. Revenue from writing instruments was ₹69.8 crore, showing a 15% decline YoY, while revenue from moulded furniture and related products reached ₹78.2 crore, down 2% YoY.
“Looking ahead, the second half of FY25 has started on a positive note, with strong sales momentum in October. Given the solid off-take in the early part of the Q3 due to the robust festive season demand, we remain confident in our ability to achieve mid teen growth for FY25,” said Mr. Pradeep Rathod, Chairman and Managing Director, Cello World.
The company has commissioned a glassware manufacturing facility in Falna, District Pali, Rajasthan, with an estimated annual capacity of 20,000 metric tonnes. The plant has begun trial runs, with commercial production expected to start soon.
