✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

IFGL Refractories reported consolidated revenue growth of 23% YoY to ₹470 crore in Q3 FY26, driven by strong domestic (+17%) and US (+37%) performance. However, EBITDA margin contracted sharply to 5.3% (vs 7.3% 9M FY26) due to elevated employee costs, product mix shifts, and one-time labor code expenses of ₹4.8 crore. Adjusted PAT was a mere ₹1.3 crore. Management guided for gradual margin recovery to double-digit levels, with employee costs normalizing to ~10% of revenue. The UK subsidiary (Monocon) remains a drag, but cost optimization and new product uptake are expected to improve profitability. Key risks include sustained margin pressure from UK losses and potential delays in technology transfer from Sheffield. The MD's succession (James Macintosh stepping down effective March 1, 2026) adds leadership transition uncertainty.
