GHCL Limited reported Q4 FY26 revenue of Rs. 808 crore (flat YoY) with EBITDA of Rs. 194 crore (down 21% YoY) and PAT of Rs. 120 crore (down 18% YoY). EBITDA margin contracted sharply to 23.9% from 30.2% in Q4 FY25, down 630 bps. Full year FY26 saw revenue of Rs. 3,144 crore, EBITDA of Rs. 769 crore (down 20%), and PAT of Rs. 479 crore (down 24%). Management cited global soda ash volatility from shipping disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and rupee depreciation as headwinds, while domestic demand remained healthy with stable-to-improving realizations. Bromine and Vacuum Salt projects are on track for Q1 FY27 commissioning, but the greenfield soda ash project is progressing slower than expected. The company completed a Rs. 300 crore buyback and paid Rs. 115 crore in dividends (total Rs. 415 crore to shareholders = 87% of PAT).
The sharp margin compression (630 bps YoY) and lower profitability reflect challenging global market conditions despite stable domestic demand. Strong shareholder returns and a net cash surplus of Rs. 1,058 crore indicate a healthy balance sheet, but delayed greenfield project and margin pressure may concern investors seeking growth.
