JK Cement reported Q4 net sales of INR 3,614 crores (+15% QoQ) and full-year sales of INR 12,568 crores (+16% YoY). Full-year EBITDA stood at INR 2,318 crores (+18% YoY) with margins at 18.5%, while PAT grew 21% to INR 1,033 crores. The company commissioned the Buxar greenfield expansion and increased Muddapur capacity to 4.5 million tons. New Jaisalmer project (7 million ton) is progressing with INR 742 crores already spent. Management guided FY27 capex of INR 3,500-4,000 crores and expects 2.5 million ton incremental volume with double-digit growth. However, Q4 margins were pressured by 25% employee cost increase and fuel cost inflation of INR 150-200/ton due to geopolitical factors. Paint business is expected to break even on EBITDA with INR 500-550 crores revenue in FY27.
JK Cement continues to expand capacity and grow volumes, but near-term margins face pressure from cost inflation that has not been fully passed through. The company's strong balance sheet (net debt/EBITDA of 1.45) provides cushion for its aggressive capex plans.
