What has driven performance in 1QFY10?
- Sales of Bajaj Hindusthan grew during the quarter aided by the sugar segment. The sugar segment grew by 69% YoY during the quarter.

While the distillery segment grew by 23% YoY, power division grew by 38% YoY during the quarter.
- Operating (EBITDA) income grew by 2274% YoY during the quarter. This growth comes on the back of lower raw material costs as a percentage of sales. Raw material costs during the quarter fell from 67% to 52% as a percentage of sales.
- EBIT margin showed an improvement due to a strong performance across business segments. EBIT margin for sugar stood at 23% during the quarter after being in the red during the corresponding quarter in FY09. Furthermore, EBIT margin for power improved from 65% in 1QFY09 to 77% in 1QFY10. On the other hand, the margins for the distillery business continued to stay in the red albeit the loss was almost half of that in 1QFY09.

What to expect?
At the current price of Rs 230, the stock is trading at a multiple of 22 times its trailing 12-months earnings. The company has done well during the quarter thanks to higher sugar prices. With sugarcane shortage expected to continue, the company will continue to reap the benefit of higher prices.|
