PCBL Chemical reported Q4 FY26 consolidated revenue of INR2,066 crores and EBITDA of INR248 crores. The quarter was significantly impacted by the West Asia conflict, which caused massive increases in logistics costs, feedstock prices (Brent crude rose from ~$60 to ~$100/barrel), and freight rerouting via Cape of Good Hope adding 14 days to transit time. Approximately 75% of raw materials are sourced from US Gulf Coast and ~40% of business is export-driven. Management highlighted clear recovery signals including spreads finding a floor, US tariff reduction restoring export competitiveness, and India-EU FTA ratification opening duty-free access to 1.8 million tons carbon black market. Customer inventory restocking is underway as global tyre majors shift from just-in-time to just-in-case approach. FY26 full-year revenue was INR8,189 crores (vs INR8,404 crores in FY25) and EBITDA was INR1,081 crores (vs INR1,384 crores in FY25).
Short-term margin pressure from West Asia conflict is significant but cost pass-through will reflect in Q2 FY27. Management expects double-digit EBITDA growth in FY27 driven by volume recovery, cost initiatives (INR200-250 crores savings over 4-6 quarters), and pricing improvements. Long-term target of INR40 billion EBITDA by 2030 remains on track.
