- The key component in manufacturing specialty oils and lubricants is base oils which forms nearly 80 percent of the groups’ raw material costs.
- It is a derivative of crude oil, produced by refining crude, and therefore susceptible to volatility in crude oil prices. However, the group holds the requisite quantity of inventory and has ‘pass through’ clauses in the contracts with the customers to mitigate the risk of volatility in commodity prices, thereby protecting its margins.
- The group is also exposed to significant forex risk and global disruptions as it imports 85 percent of its raw materials and overseas sales accounts for 40 percent of the revenue.
- While some of the foreign exchange risk is mitigated through a natural hedge balanced is managed through hedging.
