Hilton Metal Forging reported strong topline growth with revenue from operations rising 41% to Rs 23,037 Lacs in FY26 from Rs 16,305 Lacs in FY25, crossing the 20% revenue growth threshold. However, profitability declined — profit after tax fell to Rs 344.61 Lacs vs Rs 617.63 Lacs in the prior year, a 44% drop, indicating margin compression despite higher sales. The auditors from Anil Bansal & Associates issued an unmodified (clean) opinion with no qualifications. The company's operating cash flow turned sharply negative at Rs -2,683.80 Lacs (vs +Rs 273.38 Lacs in FY25), driven by a large Rs 1,583 Lacs inventory build-up and working capital pressures. The company also completed a rights issue raising Rs 3,199 Lacs and increased borrowings marginally. Finance costs remain high at Rs 700.55 Lacs, weighing on bottom line.
Revenue growth is positive but the sharp decline in profitability and deeply negative operating cash flow are concerning — shareholders should watch for liquidity stress and margin recovery in H1 FY27.
