AMI Organics, a leading specialty chemicals manufacturer, reported a spectacular performance in the March quarter (Q4FY24), delivering strong growth in revenue, margins, and net profit. The company’s net profit surged 112% to ₹53 crore, compared to ₹25 crore in the same quarter last year. This exceptional increase in profit is a result of operational efficiencies and higher contribution from exports.

Robust Revenue and Operational Efficiency

The company reported a 37% year-on-year (YoY) increase in revenue, reaching ₹308.5 crore for Q4FY24. This impressive growth came largely on the back of strong demand in international markets, with exports accounting for 74% of total revenue, and domestic sales contributing 26%.

Notably, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization) nearly doubled by 97% to ₹85 crore, indicating strong cost control and pricing strength. The operating margin improved significantly to 27.6% compared to 19.2% in the year-ago quarter, reflecting better product mix and scale benefits.

Milestone Achievement in FY25

Commenting on the results, Naresh Patel, Executive Chairman and Managing Director of AMI Organics, stated:

“FY25 was a transformative year for AMI Organics, as we proudly surpassed ₹1,000 crore in revenue—a remarkable milestone. This achievement reflects the unwavering dedication of our employees and the invaluable support of our stakeholders.”

Crossing the ₹1,000 crore mark has been a long-term goal for the company, and this milestone represents a critical step forward in its ambition to become a global leader in specialty chemicals.

Outlook for FY26: 25% Revenue Growth Target

Looking ahead, the company has set an ambitious target of 25% revenue growth in FY26. This confidence is backed by the increasing demand for high-performance specialty chemicals across sectors such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced intermediates. The management believes that robust export momentum, expanding customer base, and operational efficiencies will continue to drive the next phase of growth.

Stock Market Reaction: 10% Intraday Surge

Following the announcement of Q4 results, AMI Organics' stock witnessed a sharp rally. The stock climbed to an intraday high of ₹1,243, reflecting a gain of nearly 10% over its previous close of ₹1,130.50. At around 1:45 PM on the BSE, the stock was trading at ₹1,200, up by 6.15%. This positive investor response underscores the market’s confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.

Export-Led Growth Driving Performance

Exports have become the key growth engine for AMI Organics, contributing nearly three-fourths of its quarterly revenue. This global reach has not only de-risked the company from domestic market fluctuations but also opened up newer, high-margin opportunities. The management is strategically expanding its footprint across regulated markets, including Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

The company's continuous investment in research and development (R&D) has allowed it to deliver value-added, high-margin products, which are well-accepted globally. These investments are expected to yield long-term benefits by further enhancing AMI Organics’ differentiated product portfolio.

Cost Optimization and Margin Expansion

One of the standout achievements in Q4FY24 has been significant margin expansion. With EBITDA margin jumping to 27.6% from 19.2%, the company demonstrated its ability to enhance profitability even in a competitive environment. Cost optimization initiatives, economies of scale, and improved product pricing have all contributed to this margin improvement.

Furthermore, the management has reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining operating margins above 25%, as the company scales up its business and deepens its global reach.

R&D and Innovation at the Core

AMI Organics places a strong emphasis on innovation and backward integration, which allows the company to maintain consistent quality while reducing reliance on external raw material sources. This has strengthened the company’s supply chain and improved its cost structure.

With a robust pipeline of new product development and plans to enter new chemistry platforms, R&D is expected to remain a core growth enabler in the coming years.

Capex Plans and Strategic Growth

To support future growth, AMI Organics is investing in expanding its manufacturing capacity and improving infrastructure at its plants. The company has outlined capital expenditure (capex) plans that will help it scale operations efficiently and meet rising global demand. The management also hinted at exploring strategic partnerships and acquisitions that can add value and diversify the product portfolio.
