What the record says.
SG Mart delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with EBITDA of ₹56 crore (upward of ₹1,800 crore revenue), culminating in FY26 EBITDA of ₹137 crore—35% YoY growth. The pivot from low-margin B2B trading to value-added verticals (service centers, renewable structures, steel profiles) is driving mix improvement. Service center volumes hit 191,000 tonnes (+10% QoQ) with 90%+ utilization; new profile business did 7,000 tonnes with 5,000-8,000 INR/tonne EBITDA. Management targets 50 crore quarterly EBITDA as the floor going forward, guiding FY27 EBITDA of ₹300-350 crore annualized. ₹600 crore capex is approved for FY27-28 to scale service centers from 7 to 11-12 and profile capacity. Working capital efficiency (20 days) and ₹750 crore net cash provide balance sheet strength. Key risks include Middle East steel supply disruptions impacting B2B and Dubai (10% volume), while PAT growth lags EBITDA due to elevated depreciation from heavy capex deployment. Management projects 50% EBITDA CAGR over 3 years, prioritizing profitability over revenue expansion.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated prior guidance targeting ₹300-350 crore annualized EBITDA for FY27, barring further escalation in Middle East conflict impacting B2B steel supply or Dubai operations. Quarterly EBITDA of ₹50 crore is positioned as the new floor.
- Service centers to scale to 20 units doing 2 million tonnes annually; renewable structures to 300,000 tonnes; profile business to 300,000 tonnes. B2B volume guidance declined due to supply unpredictability. Every quarter expected to show sequential improvement from Q4 base.
- Board has approved ₹600 crore minimum capex over two years: ~50% for service center construction (3-4 new centers plus land), ~30% for land parcel acquisition, ~15-20% for profile machines. Additional lines for renewable and profile capacity may increase outlay.
- Relocation of Ahmedabad and Indore centers from rental premises to owned land, plus new greenfield in Kolkata. Active land scouting in Hyderabad, Chennai, and Punjab—land acquisitions expected in next 2-3 months.
Risks flagged
- Dubai contributed ~10% of Q4 service center volume but profitability was significantly impacted by fixed costs amid minimal March business due to conflict. An analyst questioned the net block increase of ₹108 crore difference between standalone and consolidated; management claimed no deterioration but offered no detailed rebuttal, promising follow-up.
- Steel availability in India remains constrained due to Middle East conflict affecting gas supply to steel mills. B2B volumes in Q4 were lower than Q3; renewable structures faced coated steel shortages. April/May showing sequential improvement but normalcy timeline remains uncertain and war-duration dependent.
- FY26 PAT grew only ~10-11% versus 35% EBITDA growth. Management attributes this to heavy capex deployment (₹525 crore in FY26) creating elevated depreciation, with free cash flow constrained. Cash profit growth aligns better with EBITDA growth but near-term PAT will remain depressed.
- Q4 had ₹6 crore inventory gain; Q3 had ₹15-20 crore loss; H1 was stable. Full-year EBITDA of ₹137 crore would have been ₹150+ crore adjusting for steel price swings. As business scales to higher-value verticals (service centers, profiles), inventory impact as percentage of EBITDA should diminish.
Key quotes
- 50 crore quarterly EBITDA is the new floor… we are confident that we should be near that [₹300-350 crore annualized FY27] number unless there is more loss of business due to war in our B2B business or in our Middle East operations.
- We realized that [B2B] trading business is not throwing too much value addition… the dependency on steel level availability is pretty high… the steel price fluctuation also hurts the earnings. So over the last one year the whole business model has moved towards more value addition.
- Whatever new business vertical I'm adding it is more profitable… so even if there is no 50% growth in revenue, my EBITDA can still grow more than 50%. Because whatever new business vertical I'm adding it is more profitable.
