Mr. Jayesh B. Bhansali Joint Managing Director & Chief Financial Officer, BEPL "Our Q1 FY27 performance underscores the resilience of our business model and the strength of our cost leadership amidst a dynamic global geopolitical environment. Despite external uncertainties, disciplined execution and sustained operating efficiencies enabled us to deliver healthy growth in profitability.

Our ongoing capacity expansion to 100,000 MTPA, being funded entirely through internal accruals, reflects the robust cash-generating ability of the business while preserving our debt-free balance sheet. Even after the dividend payout, the company continues to maintain a strong cash position, providing adequate financial flexibility to fund the planned ₹200 crores capital expenditure, support the incremental working capital requirements arising from the expanded capacity, and maintain a prudent liquidity buffer to navigate potential macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.

The Company remains committed to delivering consistent value to its shareholders through a disciplined capital allocation approach. In line with this commitment, the Board has declared a first interim dividend of ₹24.9 crores for Q1 FY27, reflecting the Company's strong financial position while continuing to retain sufficient liquidity to fund future growth initiatives.

This balanced approach to capital allocation positions the Company to capitalize on the growing domestic demand for ABS and specialty polymers while creating sustainable long-term shareholder value."
