Topline
- Q1 CY2026 revenue from continuing operations: ₹3,184 Cr, up 5.8% YoY (vs ₹3,010 Cr in Q1 CY2025); sequentially down 6.9% from Q4 CY2025’s ₹3,423 Cr.
- Electrification leads segment mix at ₹1,564 Cr (49% of gross revenue), growing 15.2% YoY; Motion contributed ₹1,161 Cr (+5.9% YoY).
- Automation contracted sharply — ₹500 Cr vs ₹586 Cr in Q1 CY2025 (-14.7% YoY) and ₹652 Cr in Q4 CY2025 — the weakest segment this quarter.
Bottomline
- Continuing operations PAT: ₹342 Cr vs ₹457 Cr in Q1 CY2025 — a 25.2% YoY decline. (341.91 vs 457.31, verified.)
- Discontinued operations contributed ₹1,442 Cr PAT this quarter, dominated by the ₹1,658 Cr profit on sale of the Robotics & Discrete Automation business — one-time, non-recurring.
- Reported total PAT of ₹1,784 Cr is heavily distorted; recurring earnings power is materially lower.
Margins
- Continuing operations PBT margin: 14.5% (₹462 Cr on ₹3,184 Cr revenue) vs 20.4% in Q1 CY2025 (₹614 Cr on ₹3,010 Cr) — a 590bps YoY compression. (Verified: 461.87/3184.06 = 14.5%; 613.66/3010.07 = 20.4%.)
- Raw material + stock-in-trade + subcontracting as % of revenue: 63.3% in Q1 CY2026 vs 60.7% in Q1 CY2025 — input cost pressure is real. (1644+241+118−52 = 1,951 / 3,184 = 61.3% net of inventory build; gross: 2,003/3,184 = 62.9%.)
- Other income (₹100 Cr) contributed meaningfully to PBT — without it, operating PBT margin would be ~11.4%.
Growth Trajectory
- Full-year CY2025 revenue: ₹12,504 Cr. Q1 CY2026 annualised run-rate implies ~₹12,736 Cr — modest organic growth trajectory.
- Electrification sustaining double-digit YoY growth; Motion steady; Automation a drag — segment divergence is widening.
- EPS from continuing operations: ₹16.14 in Q1 CY2026 vs ₹21.58 in Q1 CY2025 — 25.2% YoY decline signals earnings quality erosion from core business.
