Creative Newtech reported strong revenue growth with Q4 FY26 total income at Rs. 740.44 crore (up 81% YoY) and full year FY26 at Rs. 2,717.51 crore (up 51% YoY). However, profitability margins contracted — EBITDA margin fell from 4.73% to 3.97% in Q4 and from 4.07% to 3.83% for FY26, due to higher raw material costs and increased operating expenses. PAT grew 29.57% YoY in Q4 to Rs. 17.79 crore and 32.35% YoY for FY26 to Rs. 70.29 crore. The company received two major government orders (body-worn cameras for RTO and disaster management kits) and entered new distribution partnerships with Kaspersky and PDRL. Borrowings increased significantly from Rs. 69.53 crore to Rs. 324.24 crore, primarily for MSME vendor payments via TReDS platform. The company is pivoting toward value-added distribution, own brand launch, and exploring brand acquisitions in surveillance and smart technology segments.
Strong top-line growth is offset by margin contraction, rising debt, and higher working capital requirements. The shift toward brand ownership and strategic verticals like surveillance may support margins long-term, but near-term pressure on profitability and returns is evident.
