Asian Paints Ltd. announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2017.
“The Decorative business in India registered low single digit volume growth in the current quarter with the business getting impacted especially in the month of June due to GST roll-out from 1st July. On a sequential basis, material prices continued to witness an upward trend in the quarter thereby squeezing margins. Good demand conditions in the Auto OEM and General Industrial business segment led to improved performance of the Automotive coatings JV (PPG-AP). In the Industrial Coatings JV (AP-PPG), Industrial Liquid Paints segment registered good growth.
In the International Operations, Units in Nepal, Bangladesh and Oman witnessed good topline growth. However, currency devaluation in Egypt and forex unavailability in Ethiopia, impacted the overall performance of International operations. Both the segments within the Home Improvement business – the Kitchen business under Sleek and the Bath business under Ess Ess, registered low growth in the quarter, mainly impacted by GST transition effect” said K.B.S. Anand, Managing Director & CEO, Asian Paints Limited.
