Ester Industries Limited announced its un-audited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27), reporting a significant turnaround with a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹18.6 crore, a substantial improvement from a loss of ₹7.2 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
Consolidated Total Income for the quarter rose by 27.4% year-on-year to ₹441.9 crore. EBITDA more than doubled, increasing by 103.4% to ₹58.9 crore, with the EBITDA margin expanding by 500 basis points to 13.3%. This improvement was driven by a higher contribution of Value-Added products in the Film segment and better realizations across the product portfolio.
The Polyester Films segment revenue grew by 37.7% year-on-year to ₹399.5 crore, with film volumes increasing by 2.7% to 22,120 MT. Value-added products constituted 29% of consolidated film volumes, with a 23% year-on-year increase in their volume. The Specialty Polymers segment revenue declined by 31.9% year-on-year due to lower volumes, but its EBIT margin improved to 45.3%.
On a standalone basis, Total Income increased by 22.0% year-on-year to ₹347.7 crore, and EBITDA grew by 25.2% to ₹40.0 crore. PAT increased by 50.5% year-on-year to ₹14.5 crore.
The company highlighted that the operating environment for the BOPET Film industry has improved, with reduced surplus from China and structural demand opportunities for rPET and recycled-content films driven by new regulations. Ester continues to strategically strengthen its Film portfolio by increasing the contribution of Value-Added and Specialty products.
In a significant development, the ELITe joint venture secured a Letter of Intent from a leading global sports and athletic brand for its Loop PET Fiber Grade resin, with an offtake of up to 15,000 MT per annum from its upcoming Gujarat facility. This early customer validation provides strong visibility for the JV's recycled platform.
