IFGL Refractories Limited has released the transcript of its Q1 FY27 earnings conference call, which was held on August 11, 2026. The call featured management including Mr. Mihir Bajoria (Managing Director), Mr. Mukesh Rawal (Director), Mr. Manoj Rakhecha (CEO Monocon), and Mr. Amit Agarwal (CFO).
During the call, the management discussed the company's performance amidst challenges like geopolitical uncertainties and supply chain disruptions. They highlighted strong growth in the domestic market, supported by continued customer additions and expansion of wallet share. The Indian steel market is projected to grow significantly in FY26 and FY27. The U.S. steel production has also shown robust year-on-year growth, positively impacting IFGL's U.S. subsidiaries.
Standalone revenue for Q1 FY27 was INR297 crores, an 8% year-on-year growth, with domestic revenue up 7% and exports up 9%. However, standalone EBITDA declined by 17% year-on-year to INR31 crores, primarily due to higher raw material and LPG costs. Price increases have been implemented, with benefits expected in coming quarters.
Consolidated total income grew by 13% year-on-year to INR515 crores. Consolidated EBITDA saw a 2% year-on-year increase to INR40 crores, and profit after tax rose by 58% to INR17 crores. The company is focusing on strengthening its product portfolio, improving operational efficiencies, and leveraging global capabilities.
Discussions also covered the performance of overseas operations, including Monocon U.K. and Sheffield Refractories, with efforts to turn around loss-making entities and integrate product portfolios. The restart of British Steel and potential revival of Liberty Steel's operations in late 2026 were noted as positive developments for Monocon.
The company is exploring new products for the foundry industry and expanding into new geographies like Australia and Saudi Arabia. Management expressed optimism about overcoming current headwinds and achieving double-digit EBITDA margins on a consolidated basis in the future.
