Exide Industries reported strong Q4 FY26 results with standalone revenue of Rs. 4,551 crore, up 9.4% YoY, driven by robust growth in automotive OEM (25%+ YoY) and inverter/solar businesses. PBT before exceptional items grew 22.6% to Rs. 420 crore, while PAT increased to Rs. 312 crore. For the full year FY26, revenue stood at Rs. 17,269 crore (up 4.1% YoY) and PAT at Rs. 1,111 crore (up 3.2% YoY). EBITDA margin expanded by nearly 50 bps to 11.7% despite raw material price pressures from the West Asia conflict. The company maintains a zero-debt balance sheet with strong cash generation. Dividend of Rs. 2 per share (200%) was recommended. Exide Energy Solutions (EESL) continues its Rs. 4,802 crore investment program with cylindrical battery lines expected to start sample delivery by Q1 FY27.
Positive results with margin expansion and strong cash position signal financial strength. The 22.6% PBT growth and 9.4% revenue growth in Q4 demonstrate operational leverage, though telecom and export businesses faced headwinds.
