EBITDA for Q4FY26 stood at ₹121.9 crore, down 9.5% YoY from ₹134.7 crore in Q4FY25, with EBITDA per metric tonne at ₹20,113 versus ₹21,715 in the corresponding period. For the full year, EBITDA declined 2.5% to ₹497.4 crore from ₹510.0 crore in FY25, with EBITDA/MT at ₹19,357/MT versus ₹19,862/MT in FY25, and EBITDA margin contracting to 9.4% from 12.0%.
Operational Performance and Outlook
Management attributed the margin pressure to external disruptions, including geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which impacted global supply chains and feedstock prices. India volumes grew 8% YoY, driven by a 3% growth in performance and over 27% growth in specialty volumes. In contrast, the AMET region saw volumes decline 15% YoY due to logistical disruptions and raw material availability constraints. The Americas emerged as a bright spot with improved demand momentum following tariff reversals.
Looking ahead, the company indicated that for Q1 FY27, it expects to deliver volume growth at the higher end of the 6% to 8% range and EBITDA per metric tonne at the higher end of the ₹19,000 to ₹21,000 band, assuming the current scenario persists.
Dividend
The board has recommended a final dividend of ₹22 per share for the period under review.
