ABDL reported standalone revenue of Rs 7,510.8 Cr in FY2026, down ~7% from Rs 8,073 Cr in FY2025. However, EBITDA grew 33% to Rs 604.2 Cr (margin: 8.0% vs 5.6%), and PAT surged 34% to Rs 268.3 Cr vs Rs 200.1 Cr, driven by lower raw material costs and reduced excise duty. EPS stood at Rs 9.59 vs Rs 7.38. The board recommended a 50% higher dividend of Rs 5.40 per share. The auditor (Walker Chandiok & Co.) issued an unmodified opinion but included two emphasis of matter notes: (1) a CSD customer dispute of Rs 339.9 Cr for historical trade rate differences, and (2) income tax search-related expense of Rs 260.8 Cr plus Rs 193.8 Cr interest. An exceptional item of Rs 28.5 Cr (net reversal) related to labour code changes was recorded. The company also seeks shareholder approval to raise up to Rs 1,000 Cr via securities issuance.
Despite revenue decline, strong PAT growth and EBITDA margin expansion signal operational efficiency gains. The contingent tax and CSD liabilities (totalling ~Rs 855 Cr in potential exposure) remain key risks, but promoter reassurance on the tax liability limits balance sheet impact. The fund raise plan could dilute EPS but supports growth ambitions.
