Jain Irrigation reported Q4 FY26 revenue of INR 1,800 crores (up 4.3% YoY) with EBITDA margins improving to 13.2% from 12.8%. Hi-Tech agriculture division performed well with 8% revenue growth and 22% EBITDA growth, with margins at 19.8%. The full year saw 11% revenue growth with Hi-Tech growing over 20%. Management acknowledged losing INR 200-250 crores in Q4 due to an unprecedented raw material price shock in March (PVC prices rose 50%, PE rose 60% within 20 days), causing farmers to postpone purchases. Operating cash flow generation was strong at INR 600+ crores (76% of EBITDA), with working capital cycle reduced by 15 days. The company is focused on debt repayment with NCDs due in September and March, having already repaid INR 1,300 crores over the past 4 years. New beverage manufacturing lines have started generating revenue, with discussions for 3 additional lines.
The margin improvement in high-margin Hi-Tech business is positive, but concerns remain about near-term debt servicing given Q4 revenue shortfall. Management is guiding for better FY27 performance with focus on cash flow to service debt obligations, with asset sales and government receivables as backup options.
