What the record says.
Indus Towers reported Q4 FY26 revenue of INR 81 billion (+4.8% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 44.6 billion (+1.6% YoY), with EBITDA margin at 55.1% (-180bps YoY). PAT grew marginally to INR 17.9 billion. Core rental revenue rose 5.4% YoY to INR 53.1 billion, driven by healthy colocation additions of 6,192 (total colos: 428,000). Tower additions were 4,892 (total: 264,500). The board recommended a final dividend of INR 14 per share, distributing FY26 free cash flow. Management highlighted strong order book and steady progress in Africa expansion (Zambia license secured). Key risks include supply chain disruptions from geopolitical tensions and potential churn from non-renewal of certain customer tenancies. Energy margins improved to -3.6% from -5.2% YoY. Overall, the quarter reflects resilient operational performance with cautious optimism on growth.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Zambia operating license secured; first tower deployment expected within six months. Uganda and Nigeria in final regulatory stages.
- Board committed to steady and progressive distribution of free cash flow, subject to working capital and investment needs.
- 70% of CapEx is growth-oriented; order book remains strong despite supply chain disruptions from geopolitical tensions.
Risks flagged
- War in West Asia causing tower availability issues, deployment delays, and input cost inflation. Management is taking mitigating actions.
- Analyst raised concern about expired contracts with a major customer (likely Jio). Management acknowledged minor churn but said most tenancies continue operating.
- Q4 maintenance costs increased due to aging portfolio and seasonal activities. Management expects this to be partly offset by efficiency gains.
Key quotes
- The board evaluated the FCF situation and the debt levels that we want to maintain and decided accordingly to distribute the FCF of FY 2026.
- Our strategy in Africa remains, it's a long-term strategy and remains to create differentiation through better cost per tower, delivering better SLA uptime, and higher energy efficiency.
- I think the stability is a good thing. Going forward, as the second customer comes on board, we might actually see some improvement also.
