Oriental Aromatics Limited has informed the Exchange about Transcript

Oriental Aromatics Limited crossed the INR 1,000 crore revenue milestone in FY'26 with consolidated revenue of INR 1,030.8 crores, up 11% YoY. However, profitability declined significantly as EBITDA margins compressed to 6.6% from 10.06% in FY'25, with PAT at just INR 3.3 crore (0.32% margins) vs INR 34.3 crore in the prior year. The margin decline was driven by a "triple shock" of rising input costs (gum turpentine, CST, alpha-pinene at all-time highs), crude-based raw material inflation, and rupee depreciation impacting all three divisions, plus the Mahad facility ramp-up dragging EBITDA by 1-1.5%. The CEO guided that returning to 10% EBITDA margins is the company's endeavor, with internal cost optimization and process improvements expected to progressively benefit FY'27. The company is in "consolidation mode" focusing on profit preservation with current assets while Mahad progresses toward EBITDA neutrality at 75-80% utilization, expected within one year.
