2-Min Summary
Cera Sanitaryware reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹644 crore, up 11.4% YoY, driven by volume growth of ~12% and improved product mix. EBITDA margin contracted 310 bps YoY to 15.2% due to elevated brass input costs (up ~30% YoY) and continued trade discounts. PAT fell 10.5% to ₹77 crore. Management guided for FY27 revenue growth of 18-20%, with sanitaryware volume growth of 7-8% and faucetware volume growth of 10-12%, supported by price hikes of 12% and 16% respectively. New brands Senator and Poly Plus are expected to contribute ₹70-80 crore revenue in FY27. Key risk: sustained input cost inflation and trade discount pressure could delay margin recovery.
