CapexAugust 08, 2025 In Q1 FY '26, our capex investment was INR64 crores against INR63 crores in Q1 FY '25 at a consolidated level.Carborundum Universal Limited August 10, 2026 Consolidated CAPEX in Q1 FY'27 was INR 53 crores compared to INR 64 crores in Q1 FY'26.That's why you see a strong capex spend, which is very much in line with our spend as well.It varies, Mohit, depending on their capex need, their local requirement, etcetera.CAPEX- During the first 9 months, the capex investment is INR248 crores compared to INR209 crores same period last year.In FY '25, our capex investment was INR282 crores at a consolidated level.Consolidated CAPEX was INR 309 crores, of which standalone constituted INR 235 crores.
Capital allocationIf you exclude one-time dividend from SEDCO of INR 68 crores, this would be an expense of INR7.3 crores.Standalone profit after tax in Q1 FY'27: Standalone PAT was INR 88 crores compared to INR 77 crores in Q1 FY'26 without the impact of one-time dividen…We don't see abnormality, except there are some dividend income movement, which is like we also disclosed that close to some INR68 crores plus is the …So typically, the dividend is paid and that is how the repatriation of dividend happens using the banking channels.I remember a few years ago, we had also planned to divest this particular business.This was higher by INR43.3 crores primarily due to lower dividend, higher project-related expenses, higher employee costs on account of new head count…The framework consists of focus on the factory, which is the first major initiative, acquisition of talent, rewarding career path, employee experience…
CostsThis is mainly due to higher input costs.Besides this, raw material cost push, normal inflationary cost push and other costs were there.And I just wanted to confirm that you had said that -- in this call, you had said that VAW is not exporting raw materials to the Indian subsidiary for…Second is that there is a cost pressure.—Standalone PBIT was lower by 11% on account of higher input costs.The Company is also increasing its capacity in value-added products in alumina and diversifying raw material sourcing.
Debt and cashFree cash flows in Q1 of FY '26 at a consolidated level, 98% to PAT compared to 37% in Q1 of FY '25.Fortunately, these people with even tough conditions, they are trying their best and doing it properly in terms of profitability and cash flow.———Free cash flows on a full year basis at a consolidated level is 22% to PAT compared to 86% last year.Free cash flow on a full-year basis at a consolidated level is 56.6% to PAT compared to last year's 16.1%.
DemandWe are seeing softer demand in the channels due to the inventory correction.Is that a structural trigger for medium- term and how do you see the demand for this?And as far as the Ceramics is concerned, the H2 will be strong, largely because of the way the order books were built and some of the projects require…See, Abrasive demand is largely, I would say, at this point in time, holding on.As I said, it's north of 20% is the growth that we are having and we also have a very sizable, good order book.To drive this growth, we are strengthening our product pipeline across both Coated and Bonded segment, shaping a dynamic customer-centric portfolio.You would note that the business faced issues such as inventory correction from the dealer channel, unseasonal rains which delayed construction activi…
GuidanceWe expect end of August all this will be addressed.We are evaluating all options, and we expect to reach a solution in a quarter.We expect that trend to continue for the second half.You mentioned that the guidance has been lowered to 6% to 7%.We expect the full year loss to be in the range of EUR4.5 million after write-off of PPA about 2.8 million.We expect this could improve by another 100 to 150 basis points.We expect sales in FY27 to grow by 5% in FY27. The PAT loss in FY26 was EUR 2.6 million compared to EUR 0.2 million in FY25. We expect FY27 the PAT to…
MarginI'll request Sushil to cover the PBIT margin, debt position, capex, cash flow and the ROCE.PBIT margin declined from 13.1% to 10.4%.I mean, we will bounce back better in the H2 and that should start showing the margin pickup.Our understanding was that when the Engineered Ceramics business will revive, there would be a decent margin expansion on that.At the Q3 FY 26 level, the PAT margin was 6% compared to 2.8% in Q3 FY '25.So overall PBIT margin decreased from 13.5% to 11.2%.The standalone PBIT margin percentage decreased from 16.1% in FY25 to 15.3% in FY26, and 81 bps drop.
People—So, what's the utilisation and update on sales?So just wanted to understand what are the capacity utilizations there now?———Serial supplies of qualified products will commence in FY27, with the line utilisation gradually improving.
Pricing—These were offset by the normal price increase realisation that we had.—Definitely, alumina price increase versus our ability to put on the price is a continuing process, plus the competition from China is also a factor th…—This was on account of the increase in volume and price realisation.Has the domestic market pricing improved because of this or we have been able to garner a little bit better market share in the last one or two months…
Revenue growthConsolidated sales in Q1 FY '26 was INR405 crores, showing a growth of 6.3% compared to Q1 FY '25 of INR381 crores.Sequential growth was driven by EMD which grew by 12.2%, but ceramic segments declined marking a decline of 1.6% and Abrasive also declined about 6.9%…Also, we had expected a strong revenue growth as clean energy sales to the U.S.-based customers are reviving.That is why we are bringing down the top line also in our projection.The growth was broad-based, driven by retail, industrial and precision.On standalone basis, full year, the sales was at INR2,784 crores with a growth of 7.3% compared to the last year.Sales at Foskor Zirconia recorded ZAR 461 million compared to ZAR 415 million in FY25. This marks a growth of 11.2% in RAND terms.
