SIEMENS – Siemens Ltd – Q4 FY26 Earnings Call – 28-May-26

APARINDS – Apar Industries – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 28-May-26

Apar Industries’ FY26 confirms volume‑led growth in Conductors/Cables, but ₹1,867 Cr WC build compressed OCF. Re‑rating hinges on FY27 receivables recovery and FCF re‑expansion; margin watch: 30 bps segment compression and 60% unallocable cost spike. Capacity‑constrained compounder — monitor DSO trends and CWIP activation quarterly.

🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Revenue from Operations jumped 23.3% YoY (₹18,581 Cr → ₹22,902 Cr), with Q4FY26 alone clocking ₹6,603 Cr — the strongest quarter of the year, up 26.7% YoY.
  • Conductors dominated at ₹12,712 Cr (55% of segment revenue), growing 32.7% YoY; Cables surged 25.8% YoY to ₹6,220 Cr — both segments accelerating meaningfully.
  • Transformer & Speciality Oils grew a modest 5.6% YoY to ₹5,373 Cr, acting as the revenue drag relative to peer segments.

Bottomline

  • PAT grew 18.9% YoY (₹821 Cr → ₹977 Cr); EPS rose from ₹204.47 to ₹243.21 — a clean, unlevered earnings expansion.
  • Exceptional items of ₹32.53 Cr (net charge) dented reported PBT in FY26; pre-exceptional PBT grew 21.4% YoY (₹1,106 Cr → ₹1,342 Cr), a more accurate read of operating performance.
  • Q4FY26 PAT of ₹253 Cr was flattish YoY (vs. ₹250 Cr in Q4FY25) despite a 27% revenue jump — margin compression at the quarterly level warrants watching.

Margins

  • Segment EBIT margin (Total Segment Results / Total Segment Revenue): FY26 = ₹1,968 Cr / ₹24,501 Cr = 8.0% vs. FY25 = ₹1,634 Cr / ₹19,757 Cr = 8.3% — a 30 bps compression despite absolute profit growth.
  • Net profit margin contracted slightly: FY26 = ₹977 Cr / ₹22,902 Cr = 4.27% vs. FY25 = ₹821 Cr / ₹18,581 Cr = 4.42% — scale is outrunning margin expansion.
  • Unallocable expenses ballooned 60.6% YoY (₹117 Cr → ₹189 Cr), the primary margin headwind at the PBT level.

Growth Trajectory

  • 3-year revenue CAGR implied from FY25→FY26 base is strong; the 23% single-year step-up on an already ₹18,581 Cr base signals Apar is capturing the T&D capex upcycle, not just riding it.
  • Cables segment re-rating underway — grew from ₹4,945 Cr to ₹6,220 Cr (+25.8%) with EBIT jumping 29.5% (₹459 Cr → ₹595 Cr), margin holding near 9.6%.
  • Conductor EBIT grew 21.9% YoY on 32.7% revenue growth, implying mild margin dilution — likely mix/pricing pressure as volumes scale into commodity-linked orders.

SIEMENS – Siemens Ltd – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 26-May-26

Siemens India exits transition as a focused industrial play in Smart Infrastructure and Mobility. Risks: Digital Industries margin rebuild and WC bleed. Re‑rating hinges on margin inflection and FCF turning positive; until then, stock earns quality premium but lacks momentum catalyst.

1–2 minutes


🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Q4FY26 revenue at ₹46,175 Mn — highest quarterly run-rate in the 18-month period, up 14.6% QoQ vs Q3FY26 (₹38,307 Mn) and 14.6% YoY vs Q4FY25 (₹40,292 Mn)
  • Annualising the 18-month revenue (₹246,456 Mn ÷ 1.5) implies a ~₹164,304 Mn annual run-rate, up ~8.5% vs FY24’s ₹151,457 Mn — moderate organic growth after stripping period distortion
  • Smart Infrastructure dominates at 56% of segment revenue (18M: ₹140,397 Mn); Digital Industries weakest performer, losing share to the other two segments

Bottomline

  • Continuing operations PAT for 18M: ₹22,834 Mn vs FY24’s ₹19,619 Mn — annualised ~₹15,223 Mn/year implies ~22% step-down vs FY24 on an annualised basis, largely due to Energy demerger loss of contribution
  • Q4FY26 continuing PAT: ₹3,552 Mn vs Q4FY25: ₹3,929 Mn — 9.6% YoY decline despite higher revenue, flagging cost pressure or mix shift
  • Exceptional item (₹743 Mn labour code charge in Q3FY26) and demerger-related expenses (₹1,092 Mn over 18M) are one-time drags; clean recurring earnings modestly better than reported

Margins

  • Segment EBIT margin (18M): ₹25,183 Mn on ₹251,681 Mn segment revenue = 10.0% vs FY24’s ₹17,968 Mn on ₹153,737 Mn = 11.7% — 170 bps deterioration
  • Digital Industries EBIT collapsed: ₹3,042 Mn on ₹58,722 Mn (18M) = 5.2% vs ₹4,830 Mn on ₹40,961 Mn in FY24 = 11.8% — a 660 bps crash, the single biggest margin drag
  • Q4FY26 EBIT margin recovery visible: segment EBIT ₹3,753 Mn on ₹46,630 Mn = 8.1% vs Q3FY26’s ₹3,533 Mn on ₹38,859 Mn = 9.1% — volume leverage not fully flowing to margins yet

Growth Trajectory

  • Mobility is the strongest growth segment: 18M revenue ₹49,778 Mn vs FY24’s ₹29,161 Mn — annualised ~₹33,185 Mn, ~13.8% growth; EBIT margin held at ~6.9% (18M) vs 7.1% (FY24)
  • Smart Infrastructure growing steadily: annualised ~₹93,598 Mn vs FY24’s ₹82,579 Mn — ~13.3% YoY, with EBIT margin improvement to 13.1% (18M) from 13.2% (FY24) — broadly stable
  • Digital Industries revenue grew in absolute terms but profitability collapsed — a volume-without-margin expansion that needs structural explanation before investors can reward it

POWERINDIA – Hitachi Energy India – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 25-May-26

Hitachi Energy India’s FY26 delivered 810 bps EBITDA margin expansion on scaling revenue, record ₹29,555 Cr backlog, and debt‑free balance sheet — a structural re‑rating story. Risks: WC intensity from receivables/inventory, geopolitical input costs, and execution on ballooning portfolio. Margin inflection with backlog momentum anchors compounding thesis.

1–2 minutes


🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Revenue from operations grew 27.6% YoY (₹6,384.9 Cr → ₹8,147.7 Cr), driven by strong execution across grid, data centre, and export orders.
  • Q4FY26 revenue of ₹2,754 Cr surged 46.2% YoY vs Q4FY25’s ₹1,883.7 Cr — indicating an accelerating exit run-rate.
  • Order backlog of ₹29,555 Cr (3.6x FY26 revenue) provides multi-year revenue visibility.

Bottomline

  • PAT jumped 157.2% YoY (₹384 Cr → ₹987.8 Cr); excluding the ₹54.2 Cr exceptional Labour Codes charge, underlying PBT growth is even sharper at 178% (₹516.4 Cr → ₹1,375.2 Cr).
  • Q4FY26 PAT of ₹330.5 Cr grew 79.7% YoY vs Q4FY25’s ₹183.9 Cr — bottomline acceleration is outpacing topline.
  • EPS nearly tripled YoY: ₹90.4 → ₹221.6 (basic), on an unchanged share count of 4.46 Cr shares.

Margins

  • EBITDA (PBT before exceptional + D&A + Finance costs): FY26 = ₹1,375.2 + ₹104.3 + ₹12.8 = ₹1,492.3 Cr; EBITDA margin = 18.3% vs FY25’s (₹516.4 + ₹91.4 + ₹45.2) / ₹6,384.9 = 10.2%. A 810 bps expansion.
  • Net profit margin: 12.1% in FY26 vs 6.0% in FY25 — a 610 bps improvement, confirming operating leverage is kicking in at scale.
  • Other income of ₹239.9 Cr (vs ₹57.2 Cr prior year) — largely interest income on the large cash pile — contributed meaningfully; strip this out and core operating margin improvement is still substantial.

Growth Trajectory

  • Revenue CAGR implied over one year is 27.6%; with Q4 alone clocking ₹2,754 Cr, annualised exit rate is ~₹11,000 Cr — suggesting FY27 consensus could see significant upgrades.
  • Order intake of ₹18,456.5 Cr in FY26 is 2.3x FY26 revenue — book-to-bill well above 2x, sustaining the growth flywheel.
  • Exports at 36.8% of Q4 order intake and geographic diversification (US, Europe, APAC) reduce India-concentration risk.
