Behari Lal Engineering Ltd has published the full transcript of its earnings conference call for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026-27. The call was held on September 8, 2026, and the transcript was made available to stakeholders on September 11, 2026.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This follows an earlier intimation sent to the exchanges on September 2, 2026, regarding the scheduled call with investors and analysts.

Disclosure Details

The company informed both the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange that the recording is now accessible to stakeholders. Sanjeev Kumar Sehgal, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, signed the communication confirming the availability of the file.

Investors can access the audio file directly through the company’s official website under the quarterly results section. No specific financial figures were disclosed in this particular filing, which serves solely as a record of the meeting's availability.

The board of Behari Lal Engineering approved unaudited standalone financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reporting a net profit of ₹191.94 million. This represents a 24% increase compared to ₹154.22 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Revenue from operations rose 18% year-on-year to ₹1,516.74 million, up from ₹1,284.96 million in Q1FY26. The company also appointed M/s. Reecha Goel and Associates as its secretarial auditor for the financial year 2026-27.

Financial Performance

The firm’s total income stood at ₹1,538.48 million for the quarter, driven primarily by operational revenue which constituted over 98% of the top line. Other income declined significantly to ₹21.74 million from ₹72.53 million in the preceding quarter (Q4FY26), though it remained higher than the ₹12.44 million recorded in Q1FY25.

EBITDA for the quarter was reported at ₹297.3 million (including other income), translating to an EBITDA margin of 19.6%, up from 18.8% in Q1FY26. Operating EBITDA (excluding other income) stood at ₹275.6 million, with an operating margin of 18.2%, reflecting improved operational efficiency alongside revenue growth. Sales volume reached 22,095 MT, a 13.4% YoY increase, while capacity utilisation hit 90.5%.

Profit before tax was ₹257.54 million, slightly lower than the ₹264.71 million reported in the immediate prior quarter but up from ₹209.44 million in the same period last year. Total tax expense for the quarter was ₹65.60 million.

What the Numbers Show

While revenue growth of 18% YoY outpaced the 24% growth in net profit, the divergence is largely attributable to the composition of other income. In Q1FY26, other income contributed ₹12.44 million; in Q1FY27, it rose to ₹21.74 million. However, the sharp drop in other income from the previous quarter (₹72.53 million in Q4FY26) indicates that the current quarter’s profitability is more operationally grounded than the immediately preceding period, where non-operational gains played a larger role in the bottom line.

The expansion in EBITDA margin from 18.8% to 19.6% suggests that operating leverage is improving, driven by a shift towards high-value products. The share of high-value products (metal rolls, engineering castings, and specialty alloy grades) rose to 60.4% of revenue in Q1FY27, up from 55.7% in Q1FY26 and 57.8% in FY26. EBITDA per metric tonne increased to ₹13,457 from ₹11,495 in FY26, highlighting the impact of this mix upgrade.

Corporate Actions

The board meeting held on September 7, 2026, also focused on post-IPO compliance structures. The company listed its equity shares on the National Stock Exchange and BSE on August 19, 2026, following an initial public offering that included a fresh issue of 32,63,157 shares and an offer for sale of 73,20,001 shares at ₹285 per share.

• Submission of unaudited standalone results pursuant to Regulation 33 of SEBI Listing Regulations.
• Confirmation that these are the first quarterly results reported after the company’s public listing.
