During the quarter, volumes grew 29.7% Y-o-Y to 2,43,517 cylinders. Average selling price also improved 18.7% Y-o-Y to Rs. 8,730 per cylinder. Thus, both price and volume contributed to the 54.3% Y- o-y rise in revenue. The company generated most of its revenue from India and UAE (Dubai), which grew 21.9% and 52.9%, respectively over the same period last year. China, USA & Hungary, the company s other major markets, also registered impressive growth. On the cost front, the company made significant progress. Total operating costs, as percentage of revenue, declined significantly from 93.9% in the 1QFY11 to 77.7% in the 1QFY12. This improved its EBITDA margin considerably from 6.1% to 22.3% over the period under comparison. This along with gain on foreign exchange variation and fall in interest expenses helped the company to turn positive. EPS improved to Rs. 2.71 from negative Rs. 1.04 in 1QFY11. Key highlights of the quarter Price and volume supported top-line growth The company displayed a strong performance in 1QFY12. All the markets experienced strong growth. But more importantly, the company made significant progress in China, USA & Hungary, which contributed very little to the company s revenue. This implies that the company was able to expand its reach in these markets during the quarter. Fall in operating cost helped improve EBIDTA margin Apart from registering strong top-line growth, the company made significant progress in controlling costs. All the major components of operating costs like raw material and employee costs declined during the quarter in terms of percentage of revenue. This helped expand EBITDA margin. Net profit margin improved significantly Y-o-Y During the quarter, interest expenses declined 46.1% Y-o-Y to Rs. 1.6 crores. The company also gained on foreign exchange variations. All these along with growth in other income allowed the company to post a net profit in 1QFY12 compared to a net loss in 1QFY11.

Sales grew 21.9% Y-o- Y in India, while it grew 52.9% Y-o-Y in Dubai during 1QFY12. During 1QFY12, contribution from China, USA & Hungary increased over 1QFY11. India remained the company s major revenue generator India with revenue of Rs. 94.0 crores in 1QFY12 remained the company s highest revenue generator. India along with Dubai, the company s other major market, reported aggregate revenue of Rs. 183.4 crores in 1QFY12 compared to Rs. 135.6 crores in 1QFY11. Revenue increased 21.9% Y-o-Y in the Indian market, while it grew 52.9% Y-o-Y in the Dubai market. The growth in India was primarily driven by volume but in Dubai it was primarily driven by price. For instance, volume of CNG cylinders in India increased 41% Y-o-Y, while selling price in Dubai, increased 46.2% Y-o-Y during the quarter. Despite strong double digit growth, revenue contribution from India and Dubai declined Y-o-Y during the quarter. However, the fall in revenue contribution was more in the Indian market compared to the Dubai market. China, USA & Hungary continued to make strong progress Other markets that contribute to the company s top-line growth include China, USA & Hungary. China, which contributed about 6.5% to the company s net sales, witnessed the highest growth during the quarter. This was followed by USA & Hungary, which together contributed about 16.1% to the company s net sales. Despite strong growth in China, EBIT margin remained under pressure due to intense competition. On the other hand, USA & Hungary witnessed improvement in EBIT margin primarily due to 10.6% rise in product selling price. -3-
