Mahindra Logistics reported a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹1,791 crore (+14% YoY) and adjusted EBITDA of ₹57 crore (+54% YoY), marking a return to PAT profitability at ₹20.2 crore versus a loss last year. The turnaround was driven by disciplined execution across segments: contract logistics grew 12% with gross margin expansion, express logistics (MSPL) achieved gross margin positivity for the full year and is nearing EBITDA breakeven, and last-mile delivery swung to EBITDA profit after strategic pruning. Management highlighted a 3.2% adjusted EBITDA margin (up 90 bps YoY) and reiterated commitment to reducing warehouse white space by September 2026. Key risks include geopolitical headwinds in freight forwarding and potential inflationary impact from diesel price increases, though fuel costs are fully pass-through.
