✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Fairchem Organics reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹117 crore, down 3.2% YoY, but EBITDA margin improved sharply to 6.9% (up 320 bps YoY) driven by better price realization as Chinese dumping eased. PAT stood at ₹3.7 crore. Full-year revenue was ₹460 crore, down 14.5% YoY, with volume declining to 44,000 tons from 54,000 tons. Management expects FY27 capacity utilization to reach 75-80% (from ~55% in FY26) and EBITDA margins to breach 8%, aided by reduced Chinese competition, energy cost savings, and a recovering paint industry. Exports are targeted to rise from 9% to 20% of sales. A new 40,000-ton specialty chemical plant (novel process) is expected to contribute meaningfully in 2-3 years. Key risk: Chinese dumping could resume if export incentives are reinstated.
