APOLLOHOSP – Apollo Hospitals Enterprise – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 20-May-26

Apollo Hospitals’ FY26 delivered 33% PAT on 16% revenue growth, with Digital Health turning profitable — a margin expansion catalyst compressing EV/EBITDA. Net debt/EBITDA ~0.9x, but current borrowings spike and opaque acquisition need scrutiny. FCF ~₹8,937 Mn confirms self‑funding; FY27 watch is debt structure and capex intensity.

BOSCHLTD – Bosch Limited – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 20-May-26

Bosch India’s FY26 confirms a cash‑rich industrial compounding low‑mid teens revenue, with ~17% underlying earnings growth post divestiture gain. Risks: commodity cost pressures, receivables velocity, and tax normalization. Overcapitalized balance sheet (₹83,797 Mio treasury, negligible debt) makes capital allocation discipline the key re‑rating driver.

1–2 minutes


🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Revenue grew 10.8% YoY to ₹200,347 Mio in FY26, crossing the ₹200 Bn milestone; Q4FY26 accelerated to 13.3% YoY, signalling momentum building into year-end.
  • Automotive products — 88.9% of net revenues — drove growth at 14.5% YoY (₹178,074 Mio vs ₹155,489 Mio); Consumer goods grew a modest 6.4%.
  • “Others” segment revenue collapsed 49.5% YoY (₹8,486 Mio to ₹4,285 Mio), reflecting the deliberate divestiture of specified businesses rather than organic decline.

Bottomline

  • Reported PAT jumped 37.6% YoY to ₹27,700 Mio, but ₹5,560 Mio in pre-tax exceptional gains (divestiture proceeds) inflate this; adjusted PAT grew ~16.9% to ~₹23,530 Mio.
  • EPS (basic) rose to ₹940.27 from ₹683.25 — reported basis; underlying earnings quality is solid even after stripping out the exceptional.
  • Q4FY26 PAT of ₹5,685 Mio grew 2.7% YoY and 6.8% QoQ, a clean quarter with no exceptional items.

Margins

  • EBITDA margin (excl. exceptional) expanded marginally to 17.5% from 17.3% — a tight band suggesting cost discipline offset input cost pressures.
  • Automotive EBIT margin held flat at 14.4% YoY despite 14.5% revenue growth — volume-driven profit expansion with no margin dilution.
  • Q4FY26 EBITDA margin contracted to 16.9% vs 18.0% in Q4FY25, partly from higher raw material costs (Q4 RM+traded goods: ₹35,710 Mio vs ₹30,242 Mio in Q4FY25, +18.1%).

Growth Trajectory

  • Three-year revenue CAGR context: crossing ₹200 Bn on a consolidated basis reflects steady compounding in the mid-teens in Automotive — structurally tied to India’s vehicle production cycle.
  • Automotive EBIT grew 13.8% YoY (₹22,467 Mio to ₹25,570 Mio) in line with segment revenue — consistent conversion, no margin surprises.
  • Consumer goods EBIT grew 7.6% (₹1,130 Mio to ₹1,216 Mio) — low-margin, slow-growth segment; EBIT margin at 6.6%, unchanged from 6.5% prior year.

🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Consolidated revenue from operations surged 18.2% YoY (₹1,48,478 Cr → ₹1,75,431 Cr), led by Building Materials (+24.3%) and Financial Services (+11.8%) — both structurally large segments with compounding scale.
  • Q4FY26 revenue hit ₹51,101 Cr, up 15.4% YoY and 15.3% QoQ, suggesting Q4 seasonality tailwinds and demand acceleration in cement/paints.
  • Building Materials contributed ₹1,01,202 Cr (57.7% of segment revenue) — crossed the ₹1 lakh Cr milestone for the first time, reflecting UltraTech + Birla Opus scale-up.

Bottomline

  • Net profit jumped 32.8% YoY (₹7,756 Cr → ₹10,300 Cr); Q4FY26 alone delivered ₹3,802 Cr, up 27.9% YoY — strongest quarterly print.
  • EPS expanded from ₹55.57 to ₹73.21 (basic), a 31.7% YoY jump on a stable share count — purely earnings-driven, not dilution.
  • Total tax expense rose 35.9% YoY, absorbing some profit upside; effective tax rate held near 28.8% — slightly elevated but not alarming.

Margins

  • Consolidated EBIT margin (segment EBIT / segment revenue): ₹25,693 Cr on ₹1,77,217 Cr = 14.5% vs 13.2% in FY25 — 130 bps expansion YoY.
  • Building Materials EBIT grew 36.2% (₹12,012 Cr → ₹16,364 Cr) on 24.3% revenue growth — operating leverage clearly visible; this segment is the primary margin engine.
  • Net profit margin (PAT / Revenue from Ops): 10,300 / 1,75,431 = 5.87% vs 5.22% in FY25 — 65 bps improvement, meaningful for a conglomerate of this size.

Growth Trajectory

  • Cellulosic Fibres EBIT: +14.9% YoY (₹1,524 Cr → ₹1,751 Cr) on 7.6% revenue growth — margin improvement driving profitability, not just volume.
  • Financial Services EBIT: +13.8% YoY (₹4,650 Cr → ₹5,293 Cr) — NBFC/HFC loan book growing, finance costs rising in tandem but EBIT spread holding.
  • Chemicals EBIT: +16.4% YoY (₹1,208 Cr → ₹1,406 Cr) — steady contributor, not high-growth but consistent.
