Orient Cement Limited reported strong full-year results for FY2026. Revenue from operations grew 3.1% to ₹2,79,312.35 lakhs from ₹2,70,883.37 lakhs. Profit after tax surged 270% to ₹33,768.61 lakhs from ₹9,124.64 lakhs, driven by lower finance costs (down 44% to ₹1,272.34 lakhs), reduced employee expenses, and a deferred tax reversal of ₹11,951 lakhs due to lower tax rates. EBITDA margin expanded significantly from ~11% to ~20%. The company also declared a dividend of ₹0.50 per share. Statutory auditors G.K. Choksi & Co. issued an unmodifed (clean) opinion. An exceptional item of ₹643 lakhs related to new labour codes was recognized. The company became a subsidiary of Ambuja Cements Limited in April 2025 after acquiring a 46.66% stake.
The massive PAT growth and margin expansion are highly positive for shareholders, indicating improved operational efficiency. The clean audit opinion reinforces financial reliability. The Ambuja Cements acquisition may provide further upside from synergies.
