Elin Electronics reported Q4 FY26 revenue of INR 3,242 million, up 3% YoY, with FY26 full-year revenue at INR 12,877 million. However, profitability collapsed significantly — Q4 EBITDA fell 70% YoY to INR 60 million (1.8% margin vs 6.4% in Q4 FY25), and the company posted a net loss of INR 8 million in Q4. EBITDA for FY26 was INR 546 million (4.2% margin). The sharp margin compression was driven by a ~390 bps impact from surging polymer prices (linked to higher crude prices and INR depreciation) and deferred orders in March due to raw material cost pressures. Fans revenue surged 67% YoY driven by BLDC ceiling fans. The company guided for ~15% revenue growth in FY27 but explicitly refused to provide margin guidance, citing highly volatile geopolitical conditions affecting raw material costs.
The steep margin erosion and Q4 loss are concerning, but the balance sheet remains strong (net cash of INR 701 million). The refusal to guide on margins signals ongoing raw material cost pressures that could persist into FY27, making profitability recovery uncertain despite the 15% revenue growth target.
