Borosil Limited reported FY26 revenue of INR1,195.9 crores (up 8% YoY) but flat EBITDA at INR176.7 crores with margins declining to 15.1% from 16.3%. Q4 margins were particularly weak at 11.5% vs 14.2% YoY. The main headwinds were Hydra category supply disruptions from BIS QCO implementation and a 2.5x increase in gas costs (from INR20 crores to INR50 crores) due to the West Asia crisis. The company announced INR110 crores capex for FY27, including a vacuum-insulated flask manufacturing facility (first 2 lines to start Q1 FY27) and a 20MW solar plant that will provide INR28 crores annual savings. Management maintained its 15-20% revenue growth target and medium-term EBITDA margin goal of 20%. Anti-dumping duty application for borosilicate glass against China is under investigation with a 6-9 month timeline.
The stock faces near-term margin pressure from higher gas costs and Hydra headwinds, but investors may find comfort in the company's expansion plans and cost reduction initiatives via solar that should improve profitability from FY27 onward.
