Topline

  • Revenue from operations grew 16.2% YoY (₹23,76,875L → ₹27,61,011L), with Q4FY26 alone at ₹10,22,443L — a 11.8% beat over Q4FY25’s ₹9,14,959L, confirming back-half loading.
  • Sequential Q4 surge (₹7,15,385L in Q3 → ₹10,22,443L) reflects typical defence order execution bunching in year-end quarter.
  • Other income declined sharply YoY (₹74,236L → ₹56,603L), pulling total income growth slightly below revenue growth at 14.9%.

Bottomline

  • Net profit grew 13.9% YoY (₹5,32,268L → ₹6,06,226L); Q4FY26 PAT of ₹2,22,635L surpassed Q4FY25’s ₹2,12,702L by 4.7%.
  • Effective tax rate eased to 25.2% vs 25.5% in FY25, aided by deferred tax credit of ₹3,491L (vs ₹4,150L charge in FY25) — meaningful swing.
  • EPS rose from ₹7.28 to ₹8.29 (+13.9%), fully diluted, on unchanged share capital.

Margins

  • EBIT (PBT ex-other income, ex-finance cost): ₹27,61,011L revenue vs PBT ₹8,05,296L less other income ₹56,603L plus finance cost ₹673L = operating profit ₹7,49,366L → EBIT margin ~27.1% vs prior year: ₹7,09,900L – ₹74,236L + ₹968L = ₹6,36,632L on ₹23,76,875L → 26.8%. Marginal expansion of ~30 bps.
  • Net profit margin: ₹6,06,226L ÷ ₹27,61,011L = 21.96% vs ₹5,32,268L ÷ ₹23,76,875L = 22.39% — slight 43 bps compression, driven by faster opex growth.
  • Employee costs grew faster than revenue (12.9% → ₹3,11,555L); other expenses jumped 21.4% (₹1,98,719L → ₹2,41,208L), indicating cost base expanding ahead of topline.

Growth Trajectory

  • 16.2% revenue CAGR (1-year) on a large base signals continued defence capex tailwinds; order book execution is accelerating.
  • PAT growth lagging revenue growth (13.9% vs 16.2%) — margin dilution risk if opex inflation persists.
  • Q4 concentration (~37% of FY revenue) remains a structural feature; execution risk is high if year-end order flows are delayed.

ZYDUSLIFE – Zydus Lifesciences – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 19-May-26

Zydus’ FY26 shows EBITDA margin expansion and Pharma EBIT at multi‑year highs, but acquisitions flipped net cash to net debt, collapsed OCF, and added loss‑making Med Tech and Consumer units. FY27 re‑rating hinges on OCF recovery, debt reduction, and margin inflection in new segments.

Topline

  • Revenue from operations grew 16.8% YoY (₹232,415 Mn → ₹271,484 Mn), led by Pharma (₹205,415 Mn → ₹224,121 Mn, +9.1%) and a near-doubling of Consumer Products (₹26,976 Mn → ₹39,540 Mn, +46.6%).
  • Medical Technologies contributed ₹7,823 Mn in FY26 vs ₹24 Mn in FY25 — full-year impact of an acquired business.
  • Q4FY26 revenue of ₹75,870 Mn was up 16.2% YoY vs Q4FY25 (₹65,279 Mn), with sequential improvement from Q3FY26 (₹68,645 Mn).

Bottomline

  • Net profit grew 11.3% YoY (₹45,255 Mn → ₹50,400 Mn); exceptional items of ₹5,166 Mn (vs ₹2,196 Mn in FY25) weighed on reported PAT.
  • Pre-exceptional PBT rose 14.3% YoY (₹62,463 Mn → ₹71,377 Mn) — underlying earnings quality remains strong.
  • Effective tax rate dropped meaningfully: 23.4% in FY26 vs 23.4% in FY25 — stable, no distortion from deferred tax movements at the net level.

Margins

  • EBITDA proxy (PBT before exceptional + D&A + Finance costs): ₹71,377 + ₹14,080 + ₹4,389 = ₹89,846 Mn on revenue of ₹271,484 Mn → EBITDA margin ~33.1% vs ₹62,463 + ₹9,158 + ₹1,699 = ₹73,320 Mn on ₹232,415 Mn → 31.5% in FY25. ~160 bps expansion YoY.
  • Net profit margin: ₹50,400 / ₹271,484 = 18.6% vs ₹45,255 / ₹232,415 = 19.5% — 90 bps compression, driven by higher D&A (₹14,080 Mn vs ₹9,158 Mn) and finance costs (₹4,389 Mn vs ₹1,699 Mn) post-acquisitions.
  • Consumer Products EBIT margin compressed sharply: ₹2,671 / ₹39,540 = 6.8% vs ₹3,470 / ₹26,976 = 12.9% — the acquired business is dilutive at EBIT level.

Growth Trajectory

  • 3-year revenue compounding is intact; FY26’s 16.8% growth is above-industry for a company of this scale.
  • Pharma segment — the core engine — delivered only 9.1% growth; incremental revenue acceleration depended heavily on acquisitions.
  • Medical Technologies segment is loss-making (EBIT: -₹1,782 Mn) and rapidly scaling costs — trajectory unclear without further disclosure.
