P&L walk
Consolidated revenue increased to ₹608.57 crore, +18.5% YoY and +0.3% QoQ, while gross margin expanded to approximately 45.2% from 42.5% YoY and EBITDA margin rose to 16.8% from approximately 12.4%, supported by lower-cost absorption and fixed-cost growth below revenue growth; PAT reached ₹77.92 crore, +56.9% YoY.
Key positives
- Consolidated revenue reached ₹608.57 crore, up 18.5% YoY, accelerating from 14.1% YoY in Q4FY26.
- EBITDA rose 58.1% YoY to ₹102.03 crore, 39.6 percentage points faster than revenue, while EBITDA margin expanded 440bps to 16.8%.
- Direct input costs declined to approximately 54.8% of revenue from 57.5% YoY, producing an approximately 270bps gross-margin tailwind; the driver was not disclosed.
- Employee costs grew 12.6% YoY, depreciation 3.4% and finance costs declined 27.9%, all materially below revenue growth and supporting fixed-cost operating leverage.
- Consolidated PAT of ₹77.92 crore and EPS of ₹45.85 both rose 56.9% YoY, with other income only ₹3.90 crore and no exceptional items.
Key concerns
- Standalone revenue growth was only 5.2% YoY at ₹392.30 crore versus 18.5% consolidated growth, leaving the group result dependent on international subsidiaries and other group entities.
- Standalone EBITDA margin was 9.0%, 780bps below consolidated margin of 16.8%, indicating a material parent-versus-group profitability divergence.
- Joint-venture profit contribution declined to ₹3.22 crore from ₹7.57 crore YoY, a 57.5% reduction despite consolidated PAT growth.
- Sequential consolidated revenue was broadly flat at +0.3% QoQ, so the margin rebound needs confirmation through subsequent quarters.
