Dear Shareholders,
The global macroeconomic and financial landscape is undergoing unrivalled instability,
with the advent of Novel Coronavirus as the biggest threat to economic growth since the
financial crisis of 2008. While being excluded from lockdown, the mining & quarrying
sector experienced some pressure in production.
It has been a challenging year for ASI Industries Limited due to economic and
operational headwinds. Regular market activities were interrupted due to steps taken to
mitigate the effects of a pandemic. The plant and office were shut down post lockdown
announcement. After the lockdown was lifted most of the operations have resumed to earlier
levels.
Your Company managed to overcome external challenges and deliver satisfactory
performance in Fiscal 2020. During this fiscal year, consolidated revenue was impacted by
countrywide lockdown due to Covid-19. However, EBITDA margin showed significant
improvement and increased to 22% which is almost a 186-bps improvement over the last
fiscal year. Revenue from stone stood at Rs 16,267 lakhs, while wind power generated Rs 84
lakhs in fiscal year 2020. Trading business reported revenues worth Rs 4,401 lakhs as
against Rs 4,285 lakhs during last year. Consolidated profit for this fiscal year
increased by 40% to Rs 3,140 lakhs as against previous year's profit of Rs 2,246 lakhs.
Net Profit increased due to the share of profit from associate Company Stone Masters
(India) Private Limited.
We are extremely glad to inform you that we have successfully completed engineered
Stone project at Jaipur and waiting for improvement in the global situation to start
accepting orders. This project at Mahindra World City, Jaipur, Rajasthan has a capacity of
6.50 million sq. ft. on approximately 7 acres of land. There are around only 50 units
globally, that use this patented technology from Bretonstone, Italy and the ASI unit is
the third of its kind in India. The most popular application is indoor flooring and walls
while the quartz-based product is primarily used as an alternative to laminate or granite
in the kitchen countertops. It is also suitable for heavy commercial traffic flooring. It
is the fastest growing market segment in the surface industry. We believe that this new
asset will take the Company to the next level of growth.
To summarize, 2019-2020 has been a challenging year to your Company. Despite growing
uncertainties underlying the global economy, the Company was able to deliver and succeed
in all capacities.
As I Close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our employees,
investors, customers, banks, vendors, and all other stakeholders for their constant
support.
I look forward to your continued support and best wishes.
