Financial Highlights & Guidance (As Disclosed):
- The discussion pertained to Q4 FY26 and Full Year FY26 results.
- Q4 FY26 Performance: Revenue was INR 1,475 crores, up 20% YoY from INR 1,234 crores. EBITDA with other income stood at INR 152.52 crores, the highest ever in a single quarter. EBITDA per wheel for Q4 was INR 282.
- Full Year FY26 Performance: Revenue was INR 5,183 crores, up 17% YoY from INR 4,429 crores, marking the highest ever annual revenue. EBITDA with other income was INR 523 crores, also a record. Profit After Tax (PAT) was INR 202 crores, slightly lower than the previous year due to higher depreciation of ~INR 28 crores.
- Segment-wise Performance: The alloy wheel segment grew 30% in value and now contributes 36% of total revenue. The tractor segment grew ~19%. The commercial vehicle segment grew 10%. Exports declined by 19% to INR 454 crores, attributed to U.S. tariff policies.
- Forward-Looking Statements: Management provided explicit guidance for FY27, projecting a 15-20% growth in PAT. This is based on an expectation of 95% utilization of all assets and an export recovery to ~INR 600 crores. The target for EBITDA per wheel is ~INR 300, implying a total EBITDA of ~INR 650 crores.
- Strategic Themes & Expansion: A significant capital expenditure (Capex) of INR 500 crores is underway for new facilities in Bhuj. This includes a plant for 1.2 million aluminum wheels and another for 1.1 million aluminum knuckles (to be executed in two phases). Trial production for these facilities is expected between October 2026 and January 2027. The company highlighted its dominant position (~80% market share) in the EV scooter wheel segment.
- Challenges Addressed: Labor shortages in April-May 2026 (Q1 FY27) resulted in an estimated revenue loss of INR 80 crores. Management stated these issues were fully resolved by May 20, 2026. Raw material cost inflation (aluminum, steel, energy, paint) was noted, but management emphasized that these costs are fully passed through to customers.
