EBITDA margins compress to 20–22% due to lagged RM pass-through. Nina volatility persists, but Roff/Dr. Fixit offset with rural traction.

AMBER – Amber Enterprises – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 16-May-26

Amber’s FY26 shows transformation from AC OEM to diversified electronics/defense, with 31% revenue share and Electronics EBITDA doubling. Risks: negative FCF, accelerating JV losses, ballooning WC.

🔍 Observations

Topline

Revenue scaled 22.2% YoY to ₹12,186 Cr (FY26) from ₹9,973 Cr (FY25), driven by Electronics (+49%) and Consumer Durables (+14.6%) divisions.
Q4FY26 revenue of ₹4,148 Cr grew 10.5% YoY over Q4FY25’s ₹3,754 Cr, and 40.9% QoQ over Q3FY26 — strong seasonal peak execution.
Railway/Defense revenue grew 19% YoY to ₹535 Cr, still subscale at 4.4% of mix but directionally meaningful.

Bottomline

Reported PAT fell to ₹226 Cr (FY26) vs ₹251 Cr (FY25), distorted by ₹90 Cr JV losses and exceptional items net negative ₹-139 Cr; pre-exceptional, pre-JV operating profit rose.
EPS declined to ₹50.48 (FY26) from ₹72.01 (FY25) — partly mechanical dilution from QIP and CCPS issuance expanding share base.
Q4FY26 PAT of ₹162 Cr recovered sharply from Q3’s loss of ₹9 Cr, with exceptional gains of ₹60 Cr supporting the quarter.

Margins

EBITDA expanded to ₹1,072 Cr (FY26) vs ₹837 Cr (FY25) — EBITDA margin improved to 8.8% from 8.4% on ₹12,187 Cr revenue base. (Computed: EBITDA ₹1,07,248L / Revenue ₹12,18,648L)
Finance costs surged 36% YoY to ₹284 Cr, compressing PBT margin to 2.8% (FY26) vs 3.7% (FY25) despite EBITDA improvement.
Electronics segment EBITDA nearly doubled YoY (₹282 Cr vs ₹154 Cr), signalling strong operating leverage in the highest-growth division.

Growth Trajectory

Three-year compounding evident: Electronics grew 49% YoY, Railway/Defense 19% — both outpacing legacy Consumer Durables, reshaping mix favorably.
Acquisition of subsidiary (₹1,163 Cr outflow) and ₹1,295 Cr capex signal aggressive capacity build; growth is acquisition-led and capital-intensive.
Goodwill jumped from ₹361 Cr to ₹1,678 Cr YoY — acquisition accounting risk if acquired businesses underperform.
