Somany Ceramics Ltd (SOMANYCERA) Q1FY27 Concall Summary - Jun-2026 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company reported a moderate volume growth of 3% for the quarter, which was impacted by supply disruptions from Morbi in April. However, value growth was strong at 24%, driven by price hikes and improved operational efficiencies.
- EBITDA margins saw a significant improvement of 3.6% to reach 11.6% for the quarter. This was primarily attributed to higher capacity utilization in its own plants (up from 72% to 83% YoY) and a turnaround in the performance of its Joint Ventures (JVs).
- The company successfully passed on gas price increases, which have been volatile and rising, to the market. The demand environment in May and June was described as decent, with July also holding up despite seasonal rains.
- Management expressed a bullish outlook, supported by strong demand, operational efficiencies, and strategic capacity expansions. A new 9+1 million square meter plant in the South has been announced, which is expected to be operational in 12-15 months.
- The company has made significant progress in reducing inventory levels, largely due to the production halt in Morbi, which helped clear old stock. Working capital days have improved, coming down from 17 to 12 days.
