Elin Electronics Limited announced its financial results for Q1 FY26 and provided a business outlook and future guidance.
* Operating revenues for Q1 FY26 stood at ₹295 crores, a 1% increase year-on-year. Revenue growth was impacted by higher-than-expected rains affecting cooling product businesses (Fans, Fan motors, AC motors) and a decline in the Lighting business from key customer Signify due to their new joint venture. * Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter was ₹17.6 crores, up 32% from ₹13.3 crores in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-recurring employee costs of ₹1 crore, was ₹18.6 crores, an increase of 40% year-on-year, with an adjusted margin of 6.3%. * Consolidated PAT for the quarter rose significantly to ₹9.4 crores, compared to ₹5.9 crores in Q1 FY25, marking a 59% increase. * The company's liquidity position remained strong with net cash of ₹103 crores as of June 2025. CAPEX spend for Q1 FY26 was ₹6.5 crores.
Management Commentary and Segment Performance:
* The company aims to be a one-stop-shop for high-volume home appliances and durable needs of OEMs, expanding into medium appliances like air fryers, air coolers, chimneys, and OTGs. * In the Lighting, Fans, and Switch segment, revenue was ₹80.1 crores. LED Lighting (ex-flashlights) declined to ₹39.5 crores due to volume decline from Signify. However, Elin has added three new customers, including a top 5 player in the Indian market, and expects to add 2-3 more. The company anticipates substantially higher monthly run rates in Lighting by Q4 FY26, leading to significant growth in FY27. * The Fan business saw revenue double year-on-year despite rain impact. BLDC products have been well-received, and new products are planned. * Home Appliance segment revenue increased to ₹68.6 crores. Kitchen and home care revenue grew 8% year-on-year, and Personal Care segment was up 9% year-on-year, with a focus on growing ODM share. * Discussions are underway for the Medium Appliance category, with advanced talks for chimneys and coolers. * The FHP Motor segment revenues were flat at ₹47-₹48 crores. New products like cooler motors and BLDC chimney motors are being introduced. Opportunities exist in washing machine motors and AC motors due to upcoming BIS regulations. * The company is also exploring export opportunities as part of the 'China Plus One' strategy, having successfully exported exhaust fans to the American market.
Future Guidance:
* For the full year FY26, Elin Electronics forecasts revenue in the range of ₹1,350 crores, representing a 15% growth over FY25. * EBITDA margin for FY26 is projected at 6%-6.5%. * Total CAPEX for FY26 is estimated at ₹100-₹120 crores, with ₹60-₹65 crores allocated for Phase-1 of the new plant in Bhiwandi and ₹50 crores for existing business growth. * The Bhiwandi factory construction began in July 2025 and is expected to be operational by March or April 2026. This facility is projected to contribute revenues of ₹140 crores in FY27 and ₹250 crores in FY28, with a full revenue potential of ₹550-₹600 crores and a steady-state EBITDA of 7%-7.5% (20% ROCE).
