Sagar Cements reported a strong start to FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹671 crore, up 20% year-on-year, driven by an 11% rise in sales volume to 1.43 million tonnes and a 13% increase in net realisation per tonne to ₹4,698. Operating EBITDA jumped 160% YoY to ₹121.45 crore, with margins expanding sharply from 8% to 18%, and EBITDA per tonne rising 139% to ₹851. The company swung to a profit of ₹7.49 crore from a loss of ₹32.20 crore in Q1 FY25, while plants operated at around 55% capacity. On the standalone level, profit after tax was ₹11.44 crore versus a ₹3.76 crore loss a year ago, and subsidiaries Sagar Cements (M) and Andhra Cements also posted improved EBITDA. Management reiterated its FY26 volume target of ~6 MnT and announced a ₹470 crore expansion at the Dachepalli plant plus a ~₹140 crore expansion at Sagar Cements (M).
Strong YoY turnaround in profitability, margin expansion, and volume growth suggest improving operational leverage, likely to be viewed positively by investors. However, rising gross debt (~9% YoY) and a net debt-to-equity ratio of 0.86x, combined with upcoming capex commitments, keep leverage and execution risks in focus.
