What Is Century Plyboards (India) Ltd's Management Saying?

Key quotes from recent conference calls

“there was a flooding situation in Punjab in last quarter that led to slightly higher prices for North plant, which is now eased out [Risk (commodity): MEDIUM]”
“the prices, like you rightly said, because of the intense competition that has taken place because of unprecedented capacity addition over the course of the last 2 years, which is unlikely to be repeated in the foreseeable future, prices have actually bottomed out [Risk (commodity): MEDIUM]”
“Currently, the pricing that is there, if you look at imports even earlier, never constituted more than 7%, 8% of the total sales of MDF in the country... I think BIS is here to stay. The Indian consumer deserves a good product and the Government of India has ensured that, that happens [Risk (regulatory): LOW]”
“there was a forex impact last year. We had a positive forex fluctuation, a total of INR15 crores last quarter. This year, we have had a slight forex loss. If you look at it, EBITDA adjusted without forex, this year we are at 12.1%, last year same quarter, we are at 10.7% [Risk (fx): LOW]”
