Kirloskar Brothers Limited has released the transcript of its conference call held on May 15, 2026, discussing the audited financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported consolidated revenue of ₹14.151 billion for Q4 FY26, a 10% year-on-year growth, and ₹45.380 billion for the full year, a marginal 1% growth. Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter was ₹2.093 billion with margins at 14.8%, and for the full year, it was ₹6.213 billion with margins at 13.7%. Profit After Tax (PAT) for Q4 FY26 was ₹1.121 billion, and for the full year, it was ₹3.772 billion.
The company's performance was impacted by a one-time expense of ₹258 million related to the implementation of new Labour Codes, totaling ₹389 million for FY26, classified as an exceptional item. Additionally, delays in Jal Jeevan Mission funding and temporary operational disruptions due to SAP-based ERP implementation at the foundry in Kirloskarvadi affected production and execution, particularly in the small and medium pump segment.
Despite these challenges, Kirloskar Brothers Limited's domestic order book grew robustly by 30% to ₹24.680 billion, and the international order book remained strong, growing 21% to ₹14.808 billion. The Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹7 per equity share (350%) for FY25-26, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
During the Q&A, management discussed growth drivers in building and construction, marine and defense, oil and gas, power, and water and irrigation sectors. They highlighted the company's strong product portfolio, focus on efficiency, and strict commercial policies. International business saw growth driven by Dutch, South African, SPP U.K., and SPP U.S.A. entities, though SPP U.K. faced margin pressure due to high energy prices affecting service bookings and a shift towards product business. The U.S. business is diversifying from fire pumps to water, data centers, and municipal sectors, with a growing distributor network. The company is also focusing on developing pumps for the nuclear sector, including Fast Breeder Reactors and Small Modular Reactors.
