Paramount Communications reported Q1FY26 revenue from operations of Rs. 451.1 crore, up 40.5% year-on-year from Rs. 321.1 crore in Q1FY25, driven by a sharp rise in export contribution (exports jumped to 46.3% of revenue from 27.5% a year ago). EBITDA grew modestly by 9.9% to Rs. 32.87 crore, with EBITDA margin contracting to 7.0% from 9.2% YoY. Profit after tax fell sharply by 26.9% to Rs. 18.5 crore, with PAT margin halving to 3.9% from 7.8%, as the company absorbed the impact of additional US tariffs imposed in April 2025 on its Rs. 206.4 crore of US-bound exports. The situation worsened in August 2025 with US duties rising to 25% plus a 25% penalty tariff on Indian goods. Management said it is actively working to shift the export shortfall to the domestic market, where demand is strong across renewables, power, railways, telecom, and data centres, but warned of a temporary hit to revenue and profitability.
Despite strong top-line growth, US tariff headwinds are squeezing margins and pushing PAT down sharply, which is negative for near-term shareholder returns. However, the company's pivot toward the buoyant domestic market and its diversified cable portfolio may help stabilize earnings if the tariff situation is resolved or demand substitution is successful.
