GFL delivered a strong Q1 FY26 with consolidated revenue of 1,281 crore (+5% YoY) and EBITDA of 344 crore (+31% YoY), with margins expanding 500 bps to 27%. PAT surged 70% YoY to 184 crore, driven by sustained growth in fluoropolymers and improved product mix. The fluoropolymer segment achieved its highest-ever quarterly revenue, supported by new approvals in semiconductor, aerospace, and automotive sectors. Management reiterated 25% growth guidance for fluoropolymers, expecting optimal capacity utilization by year-end. The R32 refrigerant plant commenced commercial production ahead of schedule, targeting 20,000 MT capacity by FY26-end. Battery materials business is poised for ramp-up in FY27, aided by US subsidies for energy storage. Key risk: US tariffs on select new fluoropolymers could pressure margins if pass-through proves difficult.
