  • All businesses have contributed to the growth boosted by higher sales across businesses. Higher sales volumes in the Alcohol business were due to new distillation capacities commissioned during the year,

a large multi-feed distillery at Milak Narayanpur and a grain distillery in Muzaffarnagar as well as due to the enhancement of capacities of the existing distilleries.

  • Profit before tax (PBT) before exceptional items declined marginally during FY 23 to ₹ 562.4 crore due to the recognition of export subsidy of ₹ 57 crore in FY 22 pertaining to the previous year. PBT increased by 66.9% in Q4 FY 23 to ₹ 250.6 crore.
  • Improved performance during FY 23 and Q4 FY 23 has been due to substantial profitability contributed by sugar exports, higher sale volumes and increased realization prices for distillery products, higher profitability of engineering businesses resulting from higher turnover and containment of finance cost / treasury income arising from surplus funds.
  • The total debt on a standalone basis as on March 31, 2023 is ₹ 824.96 crore as compared to ₹ 1503.74 crore as on March 31, 2022. Standalone debt at the end of the quarter under review, comprises term loans of ₹ 301.08 crore, almost all such loans are with interest subvention or at subsidized interest rate. On a consolidated basis, the total debt is at ₹ 913.83 crore as compared to ₹ 1567.96 crore as on March 31, 2022. Overall average cost of funds is at 5.1% during FY 23 as against 5.0 % in the previous year.
    Commenting on the Company's financial performance, Mr. Dhruv M. Sawhney, Chairman and
    Managing Director, Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd, said:
    "We are pleased with the performance of the Company during the year ended March 31, 2023 wherein several milestones were achieved - highest ever sugarcane crush in SS 2022-23, an increase of ~11% year-on-year; record overall gross and net turnover of ₹ 6,310.1 and ₹ 5,616.8 crore respectively with strong performance across the board; record alcohol production and sales following our capacity expansion to 660 Kilo Liters Per Day (KLPD), and aggregate engineering business revenues of over ₹ 500 crore and segment results of over 100 crore. It is a matter of satisfaction to see the diversification of our profitability: Alcohol and Engineering businesses have accounted for more than 50% of the total segment results. It indicates that our business risks are getting well spread, leading to improvement in our business risk profile.
    In the Sugar business, we are focused on variety replacement and yield maximization programmes through close farmer engagement and digital interventions. It will be accompanied with rationalization and expansion of capacities. It is capable of giving us growth at nominal capex. Another issue which is receiving greater management attention is to enhance the sugar realization price through value addition, quality improvement and introducing premium products. After changing the manufacturing process at our Deoband Unit, refined sugar constitutes ~60% of our total production and we hope to further increase it to ~70% during next year. We would look forward to the Government's help in increasing the Minimum Selling Price (MSP) of sugar as the domestic sugar prices are stagnant and

have not been able offset the increased costs, including sugarcane price increase in SS 2021-22, and the possibility of another such increase in the forthcoming season.

In the Alcohol business, the production and sales volumes have increased substantially following the increase in distillation capacities during the year. The increased crush is providing more captive raw material for our distilleries. During the current year, the revenues from the distilleries have contributed 21% of our net turnover and it will keep rising with our proposed increase in distillery capacity from present 660 KLPD to 1110 KLPD. We believe that to meet the aggressive Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) targets of 20%, the Government may need to rectify prices of ethanol produced from sugarcane juice and grain, to improve project viability to facilitate further additions in capacities.

Our engineering businesses are performing well and are well on track to grow long-term, in line with our vision. The Power Transmission business had a record year, where apart from robust turnover and profitability, the segment is making strides in the international markets and is witnessing exceptional response from international customers. With investments in both Power Transmission and the Defence business incubated within this segment, we are aiming to capitalize on both international and domestic opportunities, especially driven by the Make in India initiatives of the Government of India. The Water business is among the leading companies providing turnkey execution and operation of water and wastewater treatment plants for both the municipal and industrial sectors. This segment reported its highest ever turnover in FY 23 driven by a focused approach towards execution. The segment is bidding in and targeting more international projects with funding from reputed international agencies.

Triveni has a long history of prudent approach to business by investing for growth and to improve its market position with the ultimate aim to improve shareholder returns. In the last few years, the Company has increased its diversification by focusing on high-quality capital expenditures such as modernization of facilities, setting up additional distillation capacity using multiple feedstocks, investments in new facilities for Power Transmission & Defence, among others and we believe these will lead to long-term value creation for shareholders."
