India's Pidilite misses quarterly profit estimates on higher costs, tepid demand
HighlightsPidilite Industries reported a fourth-quarter consolidated net profit of 4.22 billion Indian rupees, a 40.5 percent increase, but below analysts' expectations of 4.41 billion rupees. The company's total revenue rose by 8.3 percent to 31.41 billion Indian rupees, falling short of analysts' estimates of 31.64 billion rupees, primarily due to a 15.9 percent rise in raw material costs driven by increased prices of Vinyl Acetate Monomer. The board of directors of Pidilite Industries has recommended a dividend of 20 Indian rupees per equity share for the financial year ending March 31, 2025. India's Pidilite Industries on Thursday reported fourth-quarter profit below estimates, dragged by a rise in input costs for its adhesives and sealants and sluggish demand from the construction industry. Prices of Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), a key raw material for Pidilite, inched up 5 per cent during the quarter, contributing to a 15.9 per cent rise in overall raw material costs. The company's total expenses rose 6.9 per cent during the quarter, which is typically its weakest. Moreover, soaring summer temperatures hindered construction activity, reducing demand for Pidilite's adhesives, sealants and related products. Pidilite, known for brands such as adhesive Fevicol and sealant Dr. Fixit, reported an 8.3 per cent increase in fourth-quarter revenue to 31.41 billion Indian rupees ($367.99 million), but this was below analysts' estimate of 31.64 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG. The company's consolidated net profit rose 40.5 per cent to 4.22 billion rupees for the three months ended March. 31. Analysts, on average, expected 4.41 billion rupees. Revenue in the consumer and bazaar segment, which accounts for about 80 per cent of Pidilite's revenue, grew 6.7 per cent. Pidilite's board of directors has recommended a dividend of 20 rupees per equity share for the financial year ending March 31, 2025. Shares of the company closed 0.6 per cent lower ahead of the results.

MacArthur Memorial artifact a finalist for conservation prize
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – The legendary cap of General Douglas MacArthur, a treasured artifact housed at the MacArthur Memorial Museum in Norfolk, is a finalist for the Virginia Association of Museums conservation prize. This recognition underscores the importance of the historical piece and honors the effort to preserve the legacy of one of America's most influential military figures. This remarkable piece, housed at the City of Norfolk's MacArthur Memorial Museum, not only represents the legacy of a military icon but also highlights the ongoing commitment to preserving our heritage. The public can help fund the conservation of MacArthur's cap by voting for it on VAM's website. The artifact with the most votes will receive $1,000 for conservation. Voting is free and open from Feb. 11 to Feb. 28, and individuals can vote online daily. MacArthur's distinctive cap is an internationally recognized symbol of America's commitment to keeping promises, civilian control over the military, and the fight against fascism and militarism. He wore the cap from 1936 to 1961 during many significant moments in American history. In 1942, saltwater exposure caused the cap to shrink as he escaped the besieged island of Corregidor aboard PT-41. After arriving in Australia during a dark period of World War II, he famously promised, 'I Shall Return.' When he fulfilled that promise in 1944, he wore the cap while wading ashore in the Philippines. He also wore it while presiding over the surrender of Japan, during the Occupation of Japan, and throughout the Korean War. Over the past 14 years, VAM's Top 10 Endangered Artifacts program has benefited more than 200 institutions by highlighting the importance of Virginia museums and the conservation efforts required to preserve the history of artifacts and the stories they tell.
