Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Landmark Cars Limited delivered its strongest first-quarter performance to date in Q1 FY27, achieving record turnover and operating profitability supported by favorable industry momentum following GST 2.0 reforms. Consolidated reported revenue from operations reached Rs. 1,302.36 crore (Rs. 13,024 million), reflecting a 22.7% increase compared to Q1 FY26, while proforma revenue from operations stood at Rs. 1,732.5 crore, up 22.4% year-on-year.
Operating profitability expanded during the quarter, with reported EBITDA climbing 13.7% year-on-year to Rs. 75.24 crore (Rs. 752.4 million), driven by disciplined cost management and the maturation of previously established outlet capacity. Reported profit before tax reached Rs. 19.151 crore, representing a 93.7% jump compared to Q1 FY26.
Gross profit margin for Q1 FY27 was recorded at 15.72% on reported revenues, compared to 17.37% in Q1 FY26 and 17.10% in Q4 FY26. Management noted that the moderation in gross margin was primarily attributable to changes in the sales and service revenue mix, the accounting timing of annual incentives recognized in previous periods, and Ind AS gains recorded in the comparative period.
Despite gross margin pressures, the company maintained its EBITDA margin close to previous fiscal levels by successfully driving down personnel and other operating expenses as a percentage of proforma revenue through an ongoing cost rationalization program.
The after-sales division demonstrated continued resilience, with the total number of services expanding to 98,281 during the quarter and generating reported after-sales revenue of Rs. 267.0 crore alongside an after-sales EBITDA of Rs. 49.2 crore. Average revenue per vehicle serviced rose to Rs. 27,172 compared to Rs. 25,029 in Q1 FY26.
The electric vehicle portfolio continued to gain strategic traction, contributing approximately 30% of total new car sales revenue in Q1 FY27. Internal company data across sampled brands indicated that EV customers exhibit higher annual running distances and increased service visit frequencies compared to internal combustion engine counterparts.
