Somany Ceramics sees 41% profit dip

In the second quarter of FY25, Somany Ceramics reported a significant decline in net profit, registering a decrease of 41.28% year-over-year. The company's financial results showed that net profit dropped to ₹16.95 crore, affected by challenges in demand and rising costs across the ceramic industry. Revenue in Q2 also experienced a slight dip, totaling ₹595.7 crore compared to ₹600.5 crore in the same period last year. Somany Ceramics cited rising input costs and subdued market demand as contributing factors to the profit decline, which has impacted operational profitability and constrained growth margins. 

The company’s EBITDA showed a decrease of 22.4%, amounting to ₹54 crore, down from ₹69.5 crore in the previous year. Somany Ceramics noted that while the demand for premium tiles remains steady, other segments have faced lower demand, reflecting broader economic pressures affecting consumer spending. To address these challenges, the company is refining its product mix and implementing cost-optimization measures, hoping to stabilize profit margins in the coming quarters.

Amidst a challenging quarter, Somany remains committed to expanding its market presence by focusing on new product launches and investing in technology for increased operational efficiency. The company believes these strategic moves will support future growth and resilience in the face of market volatility.
