HP Adhesives reported Q3 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹6,536.71 lakhs, down ~2% YoY from ₹6,667.63 lakhs in Q3 FY25, while 9M FY26 revenue grew ~5.6% to ₹19,653.23 lakhs. Q3 PAT fell sharply to ₹162.22 lakhs (from ₹420.72 lakhs, ~61% decline) and 9M PAT dropped to ₹934.97 lakhs (from ₹1,398.89 lakhs, ~33% decline), hurt by exceptional items of ₹80.98 lakhs (9M) linked to GST demand payments, a CESTAT order, and Labour Code gratuity impact. EBITDA margin compressed materially in Q3, with cost of materials and other expenses rising faster than revenue. The auditor flagged an Emphasis of Matter regarding a fire incident on 17 Jan 2026 at the Khopoli (Maharashtra) Plant Unit-1, which damaged property, plant, equipment and inventory; the company says operations are being resumed via standby facilities and the loss is covered by insurance. The board also appointed Dr. Chandra Sekhar Nettem as Independent Director and accepted the resignation of Mr. Ajeet Anant Walavalkar due to health reasons.
Shareholders should note a clear deterioration in profitability — both PAT and operating margins shrank significantly versus last year, with further downside risk from the post-quarter fire incident at the main solvent cement unit (Q4 impact pending). Insurance recovery and resumption of full operations at Khopoli will be the key near-term triggers to watch; pending that, sentiment around the stock is likely to stay cautious.
