Orient Cement (72.66% owned by Ambuja Cements) released Q4 and FY26 investor presentation showing consolidated cement volume of 73.7 MnT, up 16% YoY, with revenue of Rs 40,656 Cr and normalized EBITDA of Rs 6,539 Cr. Q4 standalone performance showed volume growth of 10% YoY to 19.9 MnT but EBITDA per tonne declined 29% to Rs 735 due to 35% increase in petcoke costs from West Asia conflict. Management guided for cost reduction of Rs 150-200 per tonne in FY27 through fuel mix optimization, higher renewable energy usage, and logistics improvements. FY27 demand outlook is cautious at ~5% growth citing below-normal monsoon expectations and fuel price volatility from ongoing West Asia tensions. The company remains debt-free with AAA ratings and Rs 1,770 Cr cash.
The Q4 margin pressure from fuel inflation is a near-term concern, though management's cost mitigation roadmap and capacity expansion to 119 MTPA provide medium-term support. The soft FY27 demand outlook could weigh on near-term sentiment despite strong volume growth trajectory.
