04 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Fluorochemical revenue expanded year-on-year, driven by higher hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) volumes and improved realizations, complemented by aggressive expansion into new geographic markets that offset softness in the US market.
Agrochemical volume recovery became visible in select pockets, supported by ongoing customer relationships, progress on active ingredient registrations, and encouraging traction in pharmaceutical molecules with western world customers.
The Performance Films & Foil segment delivered broad-based growth across geographies, aided by traction in offline-coated and metallized products, scaling capacitor-grade films, and export strength in European foil markets.
Technical Textiles sustained healthy operating momentum, led by record belting fabric performance driven by robust export demand and new customer additions.
What drove margins
Chemicals margins remained healthy despite elevated raw material, freight, and fuel costs, supported by effective cost pass-through mechanisms and technology-led operational efficiencies.
Margins benefited from favorable shifts in product mix, including higher-value PTFE grades such as fine-cut, micropowder, and pre-sintered variants, alongside value-added film and foil qualifications.
Large integrated manufacturing complexes running at high and record utilization levels helped sustain cost efficiencies and mitigate overhead pressures per unit.
05 · Demand, customers & order book
Where demand is coming from
Secured key customer approvals for capacitor-grade films, with commercial sales progressing steadily.
Established new revenue streams in foil through aseptic packaging qualifications with global leaders such as Tetra Pak.
06 · Segments, products & geography
