Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
V-Guard Industries reported consolidated net revenue from operations of Rs. 1,852.89 crore for Q2 FY27, representing a robust year-on-year increase of 38.2% compared to Rs. 1,340.92 crore in Q2 FY26. Sequentially, revenue expanded by 2.33% from Rs. 1,810.65 crore in Q1 FY27.
Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter rose sharply by 71.0% year-on-year to Rs. 111.67 crore from Rs. 65.29 crore in Q2 FY26, though it moderated by 14.26% sequentially compared to Rs. 130.25 crore in Q1 FY27. Profit before tax (PBT) followed a similar trajectory, reaching Rs. 149.74 crore, up 76.0% year-on-year.
Growth during the quarter was driven by a combination of healthy volume off-take across most product categories and price realizations necessitated by input cost inflation. Management noted that all operating segments delivered strong growth, supported by underlying business resilience and supportive market conditions.
Gross margins moderated during the quarter due to adverse product mix shifts and persistent input cost pressures stemming from ongoing commodity inflation and geopolitical disruptions in West Asia. The company has initiated pricing actions to mitigate these margin headwinds.
Operating efficiency improved at the EBITDA level, with EBITDA excluding other income growing by 53.7% year-on-year to Rs. 167.93 crore. EBITDA margin expanded by 100 basis points year-on-year to 9.1%, aided by operating leverage despite gross margin compression.
The balance sheet strengthened significantly, highlighted by a net cash position of Rs. 530.44 crore as of September 30, 2026, compared to Rs. 92.78 crore a year earlier. Operating cash flow generation for the first half of fiscal 2027 reached Rs. 458.35 crore, outpacing Rs. 195.08 crore in H1 FY26.
