GFCL reported Q4FY26 consolidated revenue of Rs. 1,369 crore (up 12% YoY) but PAT declined 32% to Rs. 112 crore due to losses in the new Battery Materials business. The Chemical segment performed well with revenue of Rs. 1,358 crore (up 11%) and EBITDA margin expanding 52 bps to 26%, driven by Fluoropolymers and R32. Battery Materials segment reported Rs. 57 crore PAT loss as it scales up operations. Management guided a Rs. 2,300 crore capex for FY27 in battery materials, with total planned capex of Rs. 6,000 crore by FY28 targeting 2x asset turnover and 25%+ EBITDA margin. LFP CAM and PVDF Binder expect commercial sales in H2FY27, while LiPF6 has secured orders for FY27 and beyond.
Margin pressure from early-stage battery materials losses offsets chemical segment strength. Management's large capex guidance signals commitment to high-growth EV battery materials but raises execution risk and near-term profitability concerns.
