AI summary

Graphite India reported FY2026 consolidated net sales of Rs. 2,852 crore, up 11.4% year-on-year, driven by higher sales volumes with flat realizations. However, EBITDA fell 45.8% to Rs. 375 crore and net profit dropped 62.7% to Rs. 171 crore due to falling electrode prices and severe decline in treasury income from market volatility. Q4 was particularly weak with an EBITDA loss of Rs. 100 crore and net loss of Rs. 105 crore, partly due to Rs. 47 crore inventory write-down. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with net cash of Rs. 3,767 crore and declared a dividend of Rs. 7 per share. Capacity utilization improved to 104% from 81% in Q4 FY2025. The chairman noted pressure on input costs from geopolitical tensions but remains optimistic about improving realizations. The company is expanding electrode capacity and its Synthetic Graphite Anode Materials project.

Likely market impact

The sharp decline in profitability despite revenue growth highlights margin pressure from electrode price weakness and lower treasury income. However, the strong net cash position of Rs. 3,767 crore provides financial flexibility. Management's optimism on realizations and structural tailwinds from EU decarbonization policies may support future performance.
