✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Orient Electric delivered a 10% YoY revenue growth to ₹948 crore in Q4 FY26, with EBITDA up 15.8% to ₹77 crore and PAT up 28.9% to ₹40 crore. Growth was driven by broad-based momentum across lighting (16% YoY) and ECD (7.6% YoY), with strong traction in premium fans (35% mix), BLC fans (50%+ growth), and emerging categories like switches, wires, and appliances. The company took calibrated price hikes of ~6% in April to offset commodity inflation, but gross margins remained under pressure at 31%. Management expects demand to improve in Q1 FY27 due to a forecasted hotter summer, but remains cautious on geopolitical risks and input cost volatility. The path to double-digit EBITDA margins is contingent on commodity normalization and sustained cost discipline. Key risk: persistent commodity inflation and supply disruptions could delay margin recovery.
