Manorama Industries delivered an exceptional FY26 with standalone revenue surging 76.1% YoY to INR 1,357 crore, driven by volume growth and improved product mix. EBITDA margin expanded to 27.1% (PAT margin 17.2%), reflecting operational leverage and higher value-added sales (CBE now 30% of revenue vs 10% two years ago). Operating cash flow was robust at INR 259 crore, and working capital improved to 125 days. Management guided for continued strong growth in FY27, targeting 20-30% volume growth plus 5-10% price realization, with EBITDA margins sustaining in the 25-27% range. A INR 460 crore capex over 2-3 years (including a Burkina Faso backward integration plant and new fractionation/refinery capacity) supports the long-term INR 3,500 crore revenue vision by FY30. Key risk: consolidated margins were impacted by startup losses at new international subsidiaries, which management expects to normalize.
