P&L walk
Consolidated revenue increased to 80,496.53 lakh (+27.2% YoY, +13.1% QoQ), gross margin expanded by about 556bps as raw-material and inventory cost fell to 38.2% of revenue from 43.7%, EBITDA rose 44.9% with margin at 27.1%, and PAT grew 68.4% to 13,369.43 lakh, although other income of 4,039.41 lakh represented 23.1% of PBT.
Segments
Scaffoldings drove the group, with revenue up 31.3% YoY to 40,507.87 lakh and segment result up 86.2% to 6,883.35 lakh; Yarn also improved to 615.61 lakh from 100.25 lakh, while Fabric remained loss-making at (739.31) lakh.
Key positives
- Consolidated revenue reached 80,496.53 lakh, growing 27.2% YoY and 13.1% QoQ, reversing the muted 2.8% YoY growth in Q3FY26.
- EBITDA grew 44.9% YoY versus revenue growth of 27.2%, with margin expanding 320bps to 27.1%; employee benefits grew 20.2% and depreciation 0.7%, both materially slower than revenue.
- Scaffoldings revenue grew 31.3% YoY to 40,507.87 lakh and segment result rose 86.2% to 6,883.35 lakh.
- Yarn segment result improved to 615.61 lakh from 100.25 lakh YoY, indicating a meaningful turnaround.
Key concerns
- Other income of 4,039.41 lakh represented 23.1% of consolidated PBT, so the 68.4% PAT growth overstates the underlying operating progression.
- Standalone revenue grew only 12.7% YoY to 56,707.82 lakh versus 27.2% consolidated growth, increasing dependence on subsidiaries and overseas operations for group momentum.
- Fabric remained loss-making, with segment loss widening to (739.31) lakh from (677.43) lakh YoY.
- Consolidated asset growth of 12.7% YoY materially exceeded depreciation growth of 0.7%, requiring evidence that the expanded asset base is becoming productive.
