WAAREERTL – Waaree Renewable Technologies – Q4 FY26 Financial Results – 16-Apr-26

WAAREERTL’s FY26 doubled revenue with stable 19.5% EBITDA and no dilution, underscoring high‑quality EPS. Yet cash flow lags: receivables stretch, inventory spikes, FCF declines. FY27 hinges on cash conversion—normalize collections and premium valuation holds; persistently stretched cycles risk debt or dilution.

🔍 Observations

Topline

  • Revenue from Operations grew 108.5% YoY — from ₹1,59,774.79 Lakh in FY25 to ₹3,33,142.22 Lakh in FY26. This is not incremental growth; it is a near-exact doubling of the business in one year.
  • The growth is almost entirely driven by the EPC Contracts segment, which grew from ₹1,57,236.41 Lakh to ₹3,30,487.06 Lakh — a 110% jump. Power Sale revenue grew modestly from ₹2,538.38 Lakh to ₹2,655.16 Lakh (4.6%), confirming WRTL is overwhelmingly an EPC execution machine, not a power generation business.
  • Other Income grew 38% from ₹1,480.21 Lakh to ₹2,042.56 Lakh — this is treasury income (interest on bank deposits and investments), which is a byproduct of the large cash balance, not core operations.

Bottomline

  • PAT (attributable to owners) grew 108.9% — from ₹22,916.09 Lakh to ₹47,869.54 Lakh — almost perfectly mirroring revenue growth. This is a healthy sign; profitability scaled proportionally, not by financial engineering.
  • Basic EPS grew 108.7% from ₹22.00 to ₹45.91. Share count barely moved (from 10.42 Cr to 10.43 Cr shares), so EPS growth is real and not diluted. This is shareholder-friendly.
  • Effective tax rate edged up slightly from 23.8% in FY25 to 25.2% in FY26 — a marginal headwind on PAT, but not material.
  • FY25 PAT was burdened by an exceptional loss of ₹401.88 Lakh. FY26 had no exceptional item, making the FY26 earnings base cleaner.

Margins

  • EBITDA (PBIT + D&A): FY26 = ₹64,823.41 Lakh, FY25 = ₹31,086.67 Lakh.
  • EBITDA Margin: FY26 = 19.5%, FY25 = 19.5% — dead flat, to the decimal point.
  • EBIT (PBEIT) Margin: FY26 = 19.2%, FY25 = 19.1% — effectively unchanged.
  • PAT Margin: FY26 = 14.37%, FY25 = 14.33% — again, essentially flat.
  • The single root cause behind this margin stability: Cost of EPC Contracts as a percentage of revenue barely moved — 78.2% in FY26 vs 77.5% in FY25. WRTL is executing at scale without giving up pricing or absorbing disproportionate cost inflation. Economies of scale are neither expanding nor compressing margins — the business appears to operate on standardized, contract-locked margins.
  • Finance costs fell in absolute terms from ₹1,483.82 Lakh to ₹1,328.83 Lakh, and as a percentage of revenue from 0.93% to 0.40% — a genuine margin tailwind from deleveraging.
  • Employee costs as a percentage of revenue fell from 1.85% to 1.47% — operating leverage at work.

Growth Trajectory

The growth rate of 108.5% in FY26 is extraordinary but comes off a base that itself grew sharply. The key investor question is: can this be sustained, or is it a one-cycle burst?

The balance sheet and cash flows hold the answer.

  • Outcome: FY27 revenue grows 45–50% (INR 1,350–1,400 crore), driven by clean energy (INR 500+ crore), nuclear (INR 150+ crore), and aerospace (INR 150–160 crore). EBITDA margins expand to 24–25% via operating leverage and product mix shift. Working capital days improve to 210, enabling positive free cash flow.
