Everest Kanto Cylinder reported Q3 FY26 standalone revenue of ₹247 crore, broadly flat year-on-year, while nine-month revenue grew 5.5% to ₹716 crore. Standalone profit after tax jumped 37% in the nine months to ₹65.7 crore, with Q3 PAT at ₹36 crore, up nearly 58% YoY, driven by materially better operating margins (Q3 PBT margin expanded to about 20% from 12% a year ago). On a consolidated basis, nine-month revenue rose about 3% to ₹1,112 crore with PAT of ₹101 crore, up roughly 20% YoY. The board approved an additional ₹30 crore capex for the Ratadiya Unit, and US subsidiary CP Industries approved USD 5.5 million capex to expand Type 4 cylinder capacity for North and South American markets. Statutory auditors Suresh Surana & Associates LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the results. Exceptional items in the nine months included a ₹3.13 crore Labour Codes impact in Q3 and a ₹11.29 crore Kandla SEZ NFE penalty booked in Q2.
Sharp profit growth and improving margins point to a healthier operating story, and the fresh capex plans signal management's confidence in demand from American markets — generally positive for shareholders. Investors should watch the one-time exceptional charges (Labour Codes, SEZ penalty) as they weigh on reported earnings, but these are non-recurring and unlikely to repeat.
