Ramco Cements Q1FY27 Investor Update: Sales Up 12% YoY, EBITDA Down 22% YoY
The Ramco Cements Limited reported a 12% YoY increase in sales volume for 1QFY27 to 44.80 lac tons. However, EBITDA declined 22% YoY to ₹313.19 crore due to higher fuel costs and a new land tax in Tamil Nadu. PAT fell 63% YoY to ₹31.86 crore. Capex for FY27 is estimated at ₹800 crore.
The report details a decrease in key profitability metrics like EBITDA and PAT, alongside increased costs and a new tax burden. While sales volume is up, the negative profit trend and cost pressures suggest a medium impact on investor sentiment and future outlook.
While sales volume saw a YoY increase, the significant drop in EBITDA and PAT, attributed to rising costs and new taxes, indicates a negative financial performance for the quarter.
The Ramco Cements Limited (TRCL) has released its Investor Update for the first quarter of FY27 (1QFY27), reporting a 12% year-on-year increase in total sales volume to 44.80 lac tons, despite disruptions from state elections in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and West Bengal.
However, the company's profitability saw a significant impact. EBITDA decreased by 22% year-on-year to ₹313.19 crore, primarily due to a 9% YoY and 24% QoQ increase in power and fuel costs, attributed to the West Asia conflict. Additionally, a new mineral bearing land tax in Tamil Nadu, amounting to approximately ₹39 crore for the quarter, further pressured profitability. Average cement prices dropped by 2% YoY but improved by 6% QoQ. Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at ₹31.86 crore, a 63% decrease YoY.
The company's capital expenditure for FY27 is estimated at ₹800 crore, with plans to achieve a cement capacity of approximately 31 MTPA through debottlenecking and brownfield expansion. Net debt stood at ₹3,938.19 crore as of June 30, 2027. TRCL also reported progress in monetizing non-core assets, realizing ₹24 crore in 1QFY27 towards its target of disposing of remaining identified non-core assets valued at approximately ₹150 crore.
