Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Alicon Castalloy delivered its highest-ever quarterly topline in Q1 FY27, crossing the ₹500 crore revenue milestone for the first time with net revenue from operations reaching ₹578.01 crore and total income touching ₹579.06 crore.
s in its investor presentation, total income grew by 37% year-on-year and 17% sequentially, propelled by robust volume expansion in the domestic automotive sector and partially supported by higher underlying aluminum and alloy input prices.
Reported EBITDA for the quarter stood at ₹55.30 crore, representing an 8% increase compared to ₹51.02 crore in Q1 FY26. EBITDA margin registered at 9.5%, reflecting a contraction compared to 12.1% in the corresponding period last year due to the denominator effect of higher raw material prices but showing resilience on a sequential basis.
Profit before tax (PBT) expanded significantly by 45% year-on-year and 84% quarter-on-quarter to reach ₹18.26 crore, aided by effective cost optimization initiatives and reduced finance expenses.
Profit after tax (PAT) for Q1 FY27 climbed to ₹11.45 crore, marking a 23% increase over Q1 FY26 and a 44% increase over Q4 FY26, resulting in a reported PAT margin of 2.0% and basic earnings per share (EPS) of ₹14.04.
The broader operating environment benefited from strong macroeconomic momentum in the Indian automotive market, where key vehicle segments reported double-digit production growth led by robust demand across two-wheelers, passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles.
During the quarter, the company announced plans to establish a new manufacturing facility proximate to its existing plant in Shikrapur near Pune, designed to expand capacity for value-added products and support growing customer order visibility.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented 2.0% of reported quarterly operating revenue. This is a calculated net-profit-to-sales ratio, not a company-reported operating margin. It measures the outcome after expenses and tax; it does not, by itself, establish how margins changed versus another period.
Profit before tax was equivalent to 3.2% of quarterly operating revenue. The distinction between pre-tax and post-tax profit matters when interpreting earnings; neither ratio identifies an underlying cost driver without a properly matched comparative period.
Total income exceeded operating revenue by ₹1.06 crore. This is the disclosed difference between the two lines, not incremental sales. The distinction matters when assessing how much of the quarter’s reported income came from the operating top line.
Ratios above are calculated from the reported quarterly figures. They are analytical descriptions, not company-reported margin guidance or an investment recommendation.
04 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Revenue expansion was primarily driven by strong growth trends in the domestic business, supported by record quarterly sales across passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and two-wheelers in the Indian automotive sector.
Higher prevailing market prices for aluminum and raw material alloys partially contributed to the nominal top-line upside through realization adjustments.
What drove margins
Raw material expenses rose to ₹351.24 crore, leading to a gross profit of ₹227.00 crore representing a 39.2% margin, which contracted by 648 basis points year-on-year and 580 basis points quarter-on-quarter largely due to higher aluminum input costs inflating the denominator.
Total expenditure expanded to ₹523.77 crore, with employee benefits rising 8% YoY to ₹54.57 crore and other expenses increasing 28% YoY to ₹117.96 crore, while manufacturing facilities maintained utilization levels of approximately 80%.
Finance costs declined by 7% year-on-year to ₹10.20 crore, supported by active internal programs aimed at reducing interest expenses and optimizing debt servicing.

Total orders booked stood at ₹8,094 crore, with an anticipated production schedule spanning the next six years, projecting ₹1,021 crore for FY26-27 and scaling up to ₹1,798 crore by FY30-31.
During Q1 FY27, the company booked 8 new parts from 5 customers, comprising 2 parts in the two-wheeler segment, 2 parts in commercial vehicles, 3 parts in non-auto, and 1 part in passenger vehicles through Illichmann Castalloy (6 parts for domestic and 2 for export markets).
