Q1 results – PG Electroplast

 

In Q1FY26, PG Electroplast posted a 21.4 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) decline in its consolidated profit after tax (PAT) at ₹66.71 crore. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) grew 3.6 per cent Y-o-Y at ₹139.42 crore; margins however, contracted to 9.3 per cent from 10.2 per cent in a year ago quarter.  Operational revenues were up 13.9 per cent Y-o-Y at ₹1,503.85 crore.

 

The early arrival of the monsoon impacted seasonal sales for Room ACs, making Q1 a more subdued start to the year. However, underlying demand indicators remain robust, and the management sees significant long-term potential given the relatively low penetration levels in core categories like Room ACs and Washing Machines. While near-term growth may moderate, the company’s medium and long-term outlook remains strong. 

 

PG Electroplast - Future Outlook

 

The management sees increased opportunities from both existing and new clients. With enhanced capacities and technological capabilities, PG Electroplast is well-positioned in India’s consumer durables and plastics ecosystem.  However, the company has lowered FY26 revenue and PAT guidance.

 

PG Electroplast consolidated revenues expected at ₹5,700–5,800 crore, implying growth of 17 per cent to 19 per cent over FY25. The company guided net profit of ₹300–310 crore, a growth of 3 per cent–7 per cent over FY25 net profit of ₹291 crore.
