Global Surfaces Limited has released the transcript of its Q1 FY 2026-27 Earnings Conference Call, held on August 11, 2026. The call, hosted by Valorem Advisors, discussed the company's financial results and business performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
During the call, Chairman and Managing Director Mayank Shah provided an overview of the company, highlighting its position as a leading manufacturer and exporter of engineered surfaces with a production capacity of 1.14 million square meters per annum across India and Dubai. He also discussed the strategic decision to discontinue operations at the natural stone manufacturing unit in Bagru, effective March 31, 2026, to focus on the core engineered Quartz business.
Mr. Shah elaborated on the impact of US trade and tariff policies on the industry, noting the reduction in reciprocal tariffs in February 2026 and the ongoing Section 201 safeguard petition for engineered Quartz. The company is diversifying its geographical presence to Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, and plans to launch its India operations and distribution network in Q2 2027.
Operational highlights for the quarter included strengthening the domestic market presence and scaling international operations. Capacity utilization was at 27% during the June quarter, with expectations of improvement. The company successfully launched its proprietary Marquartz Technology, strengthening its premium engineered surface offerings. Despite geopolitical disruptions and increased logistics costs, Global Surfaces achieved consolidated break-even.
Financial highlights for Q1 FY27 revealed revenue from operations at ₹65 crores, a 44% increase. EBITDA stood at ₹8 crores, with margins improving to 12.69%, compared to an EBITDA loss of ₹19 crores in the previous quarter. Profit after tax turned positive, improving from a loss of ₹2 crores to break-even.
In the Q&A session, management addressed questions regarding capacity utilization in Dubai (20%) and India (36%), the impact of Middle East conflict on raw material costs, and plans for market diversification. The company is establishing a distribution network in India, targeting a mix of B2B and B2C customers, and has allocated a marketing budget for the launch. The disposal of assets from the discontinued Bagru unit is anticipated within the current financial year.
The Dubai unit was EBITDA positive in Q1 FY27, and the conversion of loan to equity was a strategic board decision to improve the balance sheet. Management indicated no material change in customer demand, though uncertainties persist due to tariffs and geopolitical situations. Sustainable EBITDA margins are expected to improve with increased capacity utilization. The company aims for a substantial contribution from the India domestic market over the next few years, with a strategy focused on distributors. Freight costs in UAE remain high, with about 30-40% of the increase being passed on to customers.
