However, its first quarterly earnings as a listed entity was much less exciting. Rossari recorded 14.3% fall in revenue to ₹109.4 crore but its net profit grew 7.4% to ₹15.2 crore as the cost of goods consumed in the making of its products fell by nearly a third. The input cost was the biggest saving in the latest earnings report. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"><colgroup></colgroup><col /><col /><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Rossari Biotech </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Standalone earnings </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Profit </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"> 7.4% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Revenue </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">-14.30% </td></tr></tbody></table> Rossari makes popular household products like Vim, Rin, Ciff and Surf for the brand owners like Hindustan Unilever, Dabur, IFB, Arvind, Raymond, and many more to name a few. “In-home care, personal care and performance, we have 3 verticals.

The company’s share price is up by 2.5% as of 12:30pm on June 3, after the announcement. "We believe the acquisition will be EPS [earnings per share] accretive for Rossari," said Edelweiss in its report dated June 2. Simply put, the financial services company believes that Unitop and Rossari are a good fit and the acquisition will result in gradual growth. <div type="image" title="infibeam share price(1)" msid="83198900" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Rossari Biotech stock since the launch of its IPO in July 2020&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> As per the plan approved by the board, Rossari will be buying up 100% of Unitop Chemicals’ equity capital. 65% of it will be acquired upon closure of the transaction and the rest will be balanced over the next two years. “Unitop Chemicals is a natural fit with our operations and brings with it immense synergies and complementary growth dimensions,” said Rossari’s executive chairman Edward Menezes and managing director Sunil Chari in a joint statement. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Here’s what Rossari will gain from Unitop" comment="subhead" text="Here’s what Rossari will gain from Unitop">Here’s what Rossari will gain from Unitop</cmsannotation> Since both companies are in the chemical manufacturing space, they use similar technology, require the same talent in their employees and dabble in the same verticals. For instance, Unitop Chemicals’ expertise is in manufacturing surfactants — the kind found in detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, and so on. This is one of Rossari’s four core chemistries. Moreover, Unitop Chemicals has three manufacturing sites and its main facility in Dahej is near Rossari’s existing facility in the area. Overall, Rossari will be able to capitalise on Unitop’s production capacity of 86,000 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to boost its own output. And, while the two companies work in the same arena, there is little overlap in end-users. This means Unitop Chemicals' customers will be an entirely new set of clients for Rossari to monetise with cross-selling and will help expand the company's market reach. Wodehouse Capital was the exclusive financial advisor to Unitop Chemicals for the deal. Rossari does not plan on raising any debt for this transaction. It will be funding the investment using the cash it already has on its balance sheets. In April, Rossari raised ₹300 crore through the preferential issue of equity shares. This is after the company went public in July 2020 and was one of the hottest initial public offerings (IPO) of the year, listing at a premium of 59%.

Here's why the IPO is hot! Rossari Biotech is a specialty chemicals manufacturing firm and the sector is among the street's favourite The 17-year old Rossari Biotech is part of a sector that has most recently created a new billionaire. The $1.1 billion Shri Ram Group of Companies (SRF), which manufactures chemical raw materials was one of the rare exceptions that made money when coronavirus pandemic led to bloodbath in the stock markets. One of the primary reasons behind the SRF increase was a sudden spike in all Indian chemical stocks. During the pandemic, Indian companies ditched Chinese suppliers and were looking for cheaper alternative options in India — leading to a sudden spike in the share price. <table style="border-width: initial;

The jump in Wipro’s share price comes after the IT giant announced its new partnership with Finastra — a fintech giant that serves 90 of top 100 banks globally — to help its client banks with their digital transformation. Wipro said that the new partnership is focused on its clients in the Asia-Pacific region. This includes India’s largest public sector bank — the State Bank of India (SBI) — and ING Australia, the fourth biggest bank on the island nation. The company also sold its entire stake in Denim Group, a application security firm, for a consideration of $22.42 million. That’s triple what Wipro paid for its 33.33% stake back in march 2018. Furthermore, the enterprise picked up a minority stake in Squadcast, an incident response platform that helps software engineers do on-call scheduling, for $1.2 million.

Biyani and his family hold a 33.5% stake in Future Group, but almost all of it has been pledged to lenders. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"><colgroup></colgroup><col /><col /><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Company </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Percentage of pledged stake </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Future Lifestyle </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">99.78% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Future Supply (FSCL) </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">97.62% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Future Consumer </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">92.97% </td></tr></tbody></table> Future Retail operates 1,500 retail stores that cover over 16 million square feet of retail space in 400 cities.
