- FY2011 profitability affected by higher raw material cost:

(consolidated) bottom line remained almost flat at Rs2,134.4
crore despite a double-digit top line growth of about 11% year on
year (YoY) during the year. The bottom line was flat mainly on
account of a 243-basis-point year-on-year (Y-o-Y) decline in the
operating profit margin (OPM) on account of higher raw material
prices.
- Operating cash flows declined YoY: The net cash generated
from the operating activities stood at Rs1,910.2 crore in FY2011
as against Rs3,479.6 crore in FY2010. The decline in the cash
generated from operations can largely be attributed to the
increase in the commodity prices during the year.
