2-Min Summary
Elecon Engineering's Q4 FY26 consolidated revenue declined 6.5% YoY to ₹746 crore, dragged by a 21% drop in the Gear division (₹472 crore) due to customer-led deferrals and delayed order inflows amid geopolitical uncertainty. The MHE division outperformed with 37% YoY growth to ₹274 crore, driven by power, cement, and port demand. Consolidated EBITDA margin contracted to 21.2% (from ~24% in Q4 FY25) on operating deleverage and unfavorable mix. Net profit stood at ₹108 crore (excluding ₹10 crore goodwill impairment). Management withdrew FY27 guidance citing limited visibility, though order books remain strong at ₹1,292 crore (Gear ₹894 crore, MHE ₹398 crore). Key risk: sustained execution delays if geopolitical tensions persist, further pressuring margins.

We are holding our guidance for FY27 at this stage and will revisit our outlook once there is a greater clarity and stability in the operating environment.
The largest impact is in the month of March about 77 crores of the orders were in a different buckets... we had almost 70 crores impact for this event in the month of March.
