What the record says.
Kesar Petroproducts reported a resilient performance in Q3 FY26 despite US-India tariff headwinds. The company successfully pivoted from crude CPC to higher-margin alpha/beta blue pigments, now contributing ~15-18% of margins, while crude sales dropped to 1-2%. Capacity utilization stands at 65-70% across 2,400 tpm alpha blue and 3,600 tpm beta blue. Management reiterated full-year guidance of 100% bottom-line growth and 15-16% EBITDA margins, driven by the commercial launch of technical-grade complex fertilizer (3,600 tpa) in Q4 and upcoming zinc phosphate. Long-term guidance of 18-20% CAGR topline growth over three years was reaffirmed. Key risk: continued tariff ambiguity or copper price volatility could disrupt supply chains and margin expansion.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects PAT to double year-over-year for the full fiscal year, driven by higher-margin pigment sales and new fertilizer contribution.
- Full-year EBITDA margin guidance of 15-16%, supported by product mix improvement and cost controls.
- Long-term revenue growth target of 18-20% CAGR for the next three years, with higher focus on bottom-line expansion.
- Next fiscal year revenue growth target of 20%, driven by pigment scale-up and new product contributions.
Risks flagged
- Continued ambiguity in tariff regime could disrupt export supply chains and delay order placements, impacting volumes.
- Copper is a key raw material; price fluctuations could squeeze margins if not hedged. Management is exploring hedging but has not implemented yet.
- New complex fertilizer production has started but revenue contribution in Q4 may be limited; scaling up depends on pigment production growth.
Key quotes
- We expect Q4 to be very strong and we maintain our full-year guidance of 100% bottom line growth year-over-year with 15 to 16% EBITDA margins.
- From a crude manufacturer we've gone to a pigment manufacturer... this is testament to how we have been able to go to the highest quality and contribution pigment.
- The past few months have been challenging for the industry particularly due to tariff related developments... However, we remain very optimistic that with constructive progress towards tariff resolution, market conditions are improving.
