Century Plyboards reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue of Rs. 1,492 crore in Q4 FY25-26, with strong 24.5% Y-o-Y and 10.5% Q-o-Q growth. Full-year topline grew 19.2% to Rs. 5,397 crore. EBITDA margin (excluding forex) improved significantly to 13.7% in Q4 (from 12.1% same period last year) and 13.0% for the full year (vs 11.1% in FY24-25). PAT surged 44% to Rs. 268 crore. All segments showed improvement: Plywood grew 17.9% Y-o-Y with 16.1% EBITDA margin, Laminates delivered a stellar turnaround with margin expanding to 10.3% from just 5.2% last year, and MDF grew 31.5% Y-o-Y. Particle Board revenue doubled Y-o-Y but margins remain thin at 7.2%. Total debt increased to Rs. 1,531 crore (from Rs. 656 crore) due to ongoing capex for MDF and laminate greenfield projects in Andhra Pradesh.
Strong operational performance with margin improvement across all segments is positive for shareholders. The debt-funded capex may pressure near-term profitability but positions the company for future growth. The laminate turnaround and sustained plywood growth are encouraging signs.
