Arvind delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹2,553 crore (+15% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹327 crore (+19% YoY), driven by robust volume growth across segments: denim volumes up 19%, woven fabrics up 5%, and garmenting crossing 10 million pieces for the third consecutive quarter. Advanced Materials (AMD) posted record revenue of ₹1,839 crore (+21% YoY) with EBITDA margin of 15.1%, supported by favorable product mix and operating leverage. Full-year PAT grew 21% to ₹444 crore. Management guided for double-digit revenue growth in FY27, with high-teens growth in AMD and mid-teens in garmenting, though input cost inflation (cotton, energy, chemicals) may pressure EBITDA margins by 100-150 bps in H1. The acquisition of US-based Dalco GFT is expected to be margin-accretive. Key risk: sustained geopolitical tensions could dampen discretionary demand in H2.
अरविंद कंपनी ने चौथी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कुल कमाई ₹2,553 करोड़ रही, जो पिछले साल से 15% ज़्यादा है। मुनाफा (EBITDA) ₹327 करोड़ (+19%) हुआ। डेनिम कपड़े की बिक्री 19%, वोवन फैब्रिक 5% बढ़ी। गारमेंटिंग ने लगातार तीसरी बार 1 करोड़ से ज़्यादा टुकड़े बेचे। एडवांस्ड मैटेरियल्स ने ₹1,839 करोड़ की रिकॉर्ड कमाई (+21%) की। पूरे साल का शुद्ध मुनाफा 21% बढ़कर ₹444 करोड़ हुआ। कंपनी को अगले साल भी अच्छी बढ़त की उम्मीद है, लेकिन कच्चे माल (कपास, बिजली, रसायन) के दाम बढ़ने से पहली छमाही में मुनाफे पर 1-1.5% का दबाव पड़ सकता है। अमेरिकी कंपनी Dalco GFT खरीदने से फायदा होगा। चिंता: दुनिया में तनाव से लोगों की खरीदारी घट सकती है।

Read Transcript →Denim volume grew 19% to 17 million meters in Q4; full year volume reached 60 million meters, up 15%.
Garmenting crossed 10 million pieces for the third consecutive quarter; full year volume 42 million pieces, up 12%.
Advanced Materials division reported record revenue of ₹1,839 crore for FY26, with EBITDA margin of 15.1%.
Net debt reduced by ₹112 crore to ₹1,172 crore, supported by strong free cash generation.
Management expects to maintain double-digit revenue growth, with high-teens growth in Advanced Materials and mid-teens growth in garmenting.
Input cost inflation (cotton, energy, chemicals) may reduce EBITDA margins by 1-1.5% in the first half, with recovery expected in H2 subject to easing geopolitical tensions.
Planned capex of ₹450-500 crore for FY27, funded through internal accruals, plus additional ~₹50 crore for Dalco.
Garmenting capacity expected to reach 60 million pieces by end of FY27, with shipping volumes above 50 million pieces.
Management expects the trajectory to continue with Q4 performance similar to Q3.
Advanced Materials division targets 18-20% CAGR growth with 14-15% EBITDA margins over the long term.
Sharp rise in cotton, yarn, energy, and chemical costs may compress EBITDA margins by 100-150 bps in H1 FY27, with recovery uncertain.
If oil stays above $100/barrel and Middle East conflict persists, discretionary consumption may decline, impacting H2 demand.
Net debt nearly doubled due to the Dalco acquisition; management plans to reduce debt over 1-2 years but timeline is uncertain.
Recent labor unrest in Noida and UP government's higher wage targets could increase costs; management says compliance is built into model.
Management called out a ~₹25 crore quarterly impact from tariff-related discounts, which may persist until a US trade deal is reached.
Disruption in Bangladesh could negatively impact Arvind's fabric sales to that market, though dependency has been reduced.
AMD's growth trajectory will see quarterly variability due to industry cycles and competitive dynamics, making consistent 20% growth unlikely each quarter.
Management noted that the limitation for garmenting growth is execution capability rather than demand, implying potential delays.
Management expects to maintain double-digit revenue growth, with high-teens growth in Advanced Materials and mid-teens growth in garmenting.
Sharp rise in cotton, yarn, energy, and chemical costs may compress EBITDA margins by 100-150 bps in H1 FY27, with recovery uncertain.
