Ebitda stood at Rs 35 billion (down 5% YoY), in line with our estimate of Rs 34 billion. The YoY decline in Ebitda was due to lower zinc sales volumes, lower zinc average selling price, higher marketing cost and strategic hedging impact, partially offset by increased silver/lead volumes, reduction in cost of production, and favorable exchange rates. The CoP stood at $1,095/tonne (the lowest CoP in the last 10 quarters and the fourth consecutive quarter of consistent improvement). The reduction in CoP is driven by better volumes, enhanced operational efficiencies, and the benefits of lower coal prices. Adjusted profit after tax stood at Rs 20 billion (down 6% YoY), above our estimate of Rs 18 billion. APAT was higher on the back of higher ‘other income’ and lower-than-expected tax outgo.
