What the record says.
Rolex Rings delivered FY26 revenue of Rs 1,144 crore, broadly flat versus FY25's Rs 1,154 crore, navigating significant US tariff headwinds that reduced US exports by approximately 30%. The company successfully pivoted through strong 25% Europe growth and 50% YoY domestic expansion. Gross margins expanded 210bps to 51.5% driven by favorable product mix and domestic steel sourcing, while EBITDA margins held above 20% despite disruptions. A major customer temporarily shut plants when tariffs spiked to 53%, but normalized to 25% under Section 232. The company settled its Rs 101 crore Right of Recompense obligation in March 2026, becoming entirely debt-free with no covenants, and announced a Rs 180 crore buyback. Operating cash flow of Rs 190 crore against just Rs 36 crore capex leaves substantial deployment capacity. Management targets 15-17% revenue growth in FY27 with further acceleration in FY28, driven by US recovery, European ramp-ups, and new program additions. Risk: potential for renewed tariff volatility given ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, customer concentration at 65-70% from top-5 groups, and freight cost pressures with 2-3 week container delays.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects 15-17% revenue growth in FY27 based on existing order programs and US recovery, with further acceleration expected in FY28. Approximately 50% of the lost US business should recover in H1 with remainder in H2.
- Operating EBITDA margins expected to remain above 20.5-21% on a conservative basis, with potential for improvement from operating leverage and fixed cost absorption as revenues grow.
- Minimum annual capex of Rs 30-40 crore required for maintenance and selective capacity additions, with 70-75% allocated to forging and 25-30% to machining capabilities.
- Normalized gross margin expected in the 49-53% range depending on product mix, raw material sourcing (domestic vs. imported steel), and steel composition requirements.
Risks flagged
- While tariffs have normalized to 25% under Section 232, ongoing geopolitical tensions and potential policy changes create uncertainty. Management acknowledged customers remain in wait-and-watch mode and Supreme Court decisions may not cover all product categories.
- Top 5 customer groups account for 65-70% of revenue, with single customers having multiple plants across geographies. Loss of any major customer group could materially impact financials.
- Freight costs have increased with 2-3 week delays in container availability. Management is paying premiums to secure containers and maintain dispatch schedules, adding to cost pressures.
- Europe growth is driven by new programs and ramp-up, but industrial bearing demand remains weak. Analysts questioned whether demand improvement is structural or inventory restocking, with management acknowledging geopolitical uncertainties could delay recovery.
Key quotes
- We navigated one of the most complex external environments in the recent memory. Held our business together with discipline and came out the other side with our fundamentals intact, our relationships strengthened and our future looking genuinely exciting.
- In March 2026, precisely on 31st of March 2026, Rolex Rings has honored its right of recompense obligation in full making total payment of rupees 101 crores to our consortium lenders. Every commitment made to every lender has now been met. The slate is completely clean. This is a statement of character.
- US is coming back. Tariffs have normalized and customers who were in a wait and watch mode through fiscal 26 are now re-engaging. We expect US orders to recover from Q1 of current fiscal 27. The 30% revenue decline we experienced in the US through FY26 is entirely recoverable.
