Teena Virmani, Vice President - PCG Research at Kotak Securities Limited views on Q4FY17 Ultratech Cement results
"Ultratech Cement earnings were in line with our estimates. Volumes witnessed a sharp improvement on sequential basis and improvement in blended cement realizations (Rs 4940 per tonne) also aided improvement in EBITDA per tonne on QoQ basis(Rs 957 per tonne). Surprisingly, power and fuel cost per tonne was lower than our estimates and we believe that full impact of higher pet coke prices will be reflected from Q1FY18 onwards. We expect costs to remain high going forward owing to higher power and fuel and freight costs per tonne but improvement in blended realizations going forward is likely to aid margins. We maintain positive view on the company".
