Creative Newtech delivered strong Q4 FY26 results with consolidated total income of Rs. 740.44 crore, up 81.16% YoY. EBITDA grew 52.15% to Rs. 29.39 crore and PAT rose 29.57% to Rs. 17.79 crore. For FY26, total income reached Rs. 2,717.51 crore (up 50.85% YoY), EBITDA was Rs. 104 crore (up 41.73%), and PAT was Rs. 70.29 crore (up 32.35%). However, margins compressed with EBITDA margin declining from 4.73% to 3.97% in Q4 and from 4.07% to 3.83% for FY26. The company attributed this to elevated raw material costs and increased operating expenses as it transitions to value-added distribution and builds its brand business. Key wins include government orders for body-worn cameras and disaster management kits, a Kaspersky cybersecurity distribution agreement, and PDRL drone technology distribution. The company plans to launch its own brand in surveillance and smart technology while exploring brand acquisitions.
Strong top-line growth but margin compression signals near-term profitability pressure as the company invests in strategic expansion and brand building. The transition from pure distribution to value-added and brand-led models may weigh on margins in the near term, though long-term upside potential exists from higher-margin owned brands and infrastructure solutions.
