ACC Limited (part of Ambuja Cements/Adani Group) reported Q4 FY'26 cement sales volume of 19.9 MnT, up 10% YoY, with full-year volume of 73.7 MnT, up 16% YoY. Revenue grew 15% to Rs 40,656 Cr for FY'26. However, Q4 EBITDA declined 22% YoY to Rs 1,464 Cr with margin contraction of 5.3 percentage points to 13.4% due to fuel cost inflation (petcoke prices rose 35% in Q4 due to West Asia conflict) and packaging supply constraints. Full-year normalized EBITDA improved 10% to Rs 6,539 Cr with EBITDA/ton of Rs 887. Management guided that cost optimization initiatives including fuel mix optimization, higher renewable energy usage, and logistics improvements are expected to reduce total cement cost by Rs 150-200 PMT in FY'27. The company remains debt-free with AAA ratings and cash reserves of Rs 1,770 Cr. Capacity expansion continues with total capacity expected to reach ~119 MTPA by H1 FY'27 from current 109 MTPA.
Margin pressure in Q4 from geopolitical-driven fuel costs is a near-term concern, but strong volume growth, cost reduction guidance for FY'27, and the debt-free balance sheet with AAA ratings provide stability. The soft demand outlook of ~5% for FY'27 due to expected below-normal monsoon may limit upside.
