Oriental Aromatics Limited shared its Q3/9M-FY26 earnings presentation. Q3 revenue grew 13% year-on-year to INR 2,516 Mn, but profitability collapsed — EBITDA fell 41.6% YoY to INR 132 Mn, with EBITDA margin shrinking 490 basis points to 5.25%. The company slipped into a net loss of INR 19 Mn (vs. a profit of INR 71 Mn last year), with EPS turning negative at INR (0.57). For the nine-month period, revenue rose 10.9% to INR 7,484 Mn but the company reported a small consolidated loss of INR 7 Mn versus a INR 329 Mn profit a year ago, as EBITDA margins contracted to 6.48% from 10.86%. Management attributed the weakness to lower demand in the specialty aroma ingredients and flavours & fragrance divisions, higher finance costs (up 45.3% YoY in Q3), and a sequential dip in camphor volumes due to seasonality. Net debt-to-equity stood at 0.65x, and the stock trades at INR 288 against a market cap of INR 9,692 Mn.
Despite healthy top-line growth, the sharp drop in margins and swing to losses signal serious pricing or cost pressure, which is negative for near-term shareholder sentiment. The 52-week low of INR 252.40 versus the high of INR 455.95 already reflects this stress, and investors should watch for margin recovery and demand normalisation in the coming quarters.
