Meghmani Organics Limited held its Q3 FY26 earnings conference call on February 02, 2026, presenting mixed financial results amid challenging market conditions.

Segment-wise Performance Analysis
The company's revenue composition showed Crop Protection contributing 79% of total revenue, while the Pigment segment accounted for the remaining 21%. The performance varied significantly across segments:
| Segment | Revenue (Rs. Cr) | EBITDA (Rs. Cr) | EBITDA Margin | Production (MT) | Capacity Utilization |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crop Protection | 382 | 58 | 15.3% | 9,283 | 66% |
| Pigment | 103 | 0.7 | 0.7% | 3,144 | 38% |
| Kilburn (TiO2) | 19 | (13) | Negative | - | Shut down |
| Crop Nutrition | 5 | (0.4) | Negative | - | Low utilization |
Export Challenges and Market Dynamics
Chairman and Managing Director Ankit Patel highlighted that export volumes in Q3 faced additional pressure due to ongoing uncertainty around US trade policy. This uncertainty impacted not only demand from the US market, which represents 24%-25% of the company's agrochemical exports, but also led to softer demand across other export geographies. The company's formulation business now constitutes approximately 40% of the Crop Protection segment, with technicals making up the remaining 60%.
Titanium Dioxide Operations Suspended
The company took the difficult decision to shut down its Titanium Dioxide plant in November 2025 due to challenging market conditions. The shutdown was necessitated by elevated raw material costs, particularly Sulfuric Acid prices rising from Rs. 4-5 to Rs. 15-18 per unit, and the withdrawal of anti-dumping duties following a court order in September 2025. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) is expected to re-impose anti-dumping duties shortly after addressing procedural lapses.
Nine-Month Financial Performance
For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the company showed improved performance:
| Parameter | 9M FY26 | 9M FY25 | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | Rs. 1,635 crores | Rs. 1,502 crores | 8.9% |
| EBITDA | Rs. 203 crores | Rs. 116 crores | 75% |
| Consolidated PAT | Rs. 21 crores | Loss of Rs. 30 crores | Positive turnaround |
Debt Position and Capital Allocation
As of December 31, 2025, the company's standalone debt stood at Rs. 573 crores, comprising Rs. 455 crores in short-term debt and Rs. 118 crores in long-term debt, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.33. On a consolidated basis, total debt was Rs. 783 crores with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.51. The company achieved debt repayment of approximately Rs. 128 crores during the year.
Future Outlook and Strategic Initiatives
Management expressed confidence in long-term growth prospects despite near-term headwinds. In the Crop Nutrition segment, the company is actively developing international markets for Meghmani Nano Urea, with sample consignments being dispatched for field evaluation across multiple countries. The Nano Urea business currently operates at margins of 20%-22% when running at optimal capacity levels.
The company expects no significant capital expenditure over the next two years, focusing instead on operational improvements and market recovery. Management anticipates the Pigment segment to show improvement from Q1 FY27 onwards through operational efficiency measures and renewable energy adoption, targeting 60% renewable energy usage in the coming years.
