Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Greenlam Industries recorded consolidated revenue from operations of Rs. 796.7 crores for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking an 18.2% increase compared to Rs. 673.8 crores reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
The top-line expansion was broad-based across domestic and international markets, driven primarily by robust momentum in the panel and allied segment (chipboard) and steady growth in the laminates and allied category.
Profitability staged a sharp recovery, with consolidated profit after tax (PAT) reaching Rs. 21.24 crores (total PAT attributable to owners stood at Rs. 21.31 crores), contrasting with a net loss of Rs. 15.7 crores in Q1 FY26.
EBITDA prior to forex fluctuations advanced 48.2% year-on-year to Rs. 81.1 crores, while EBITDA including forex stood at Rs. 79.8 crores compared to Rs. 44.1 crores in Q1 FY26, benefiting from operating leverage and cost controls.
Geopolitical turbulence in the Middle East during the quarter induced fluctuations in crude prices, crude-linked commodities, and foreign exchange rates, driving up freight costs and creating container and vessel availability constraints that resulted in the postponement of approximately Rs. 27 crores of export shipments.
The panel and allied segment (chipboard) achieved a major operational milestone by turning into operating profit, registering a pre-forex EBITDA of Rs. 3.4 crores on revenues of Rs. 94.6 crores.
Net working capital days improved by 3 days year-on-year to stand at 56 days, while net debt closed the quarter at Rs. 933.7 crores compared to Rs. 941.2 crores at the end of FY26.
