Sagar Cements Q1 FY27 Consolidated Loss of ₹28.10 Cr, Revenue Up 5% to ₹706 Cr
Sagar Cements reported Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue of ₹706 crore, up 5% YoY, but posted a loss of ₹28.10 crore versus a profit of ₹7.49 crore last year. Sales volume increased 13% to 1.61 million MT. EBITDA fell 40% to ₹724.2 crore due to elevated input costs. Capex includes commissioning of WHRS at Gudipadu and expansion at Jeerabad.
The shift from profit to a significant loss, coupled with a sharp decline in EBITDA, indicates a material negative impact on the company's financial performance for the quarter. This will likely influence investor sentiment and stock price.
Despite a 5% increase in revenue and a 13% rise in sales volume, the company reported a significant consolidated loss of ₹28.10 crore in Q1 FY27, compared to a profit in the prior year. The operating EBITDA also saw a substantial decline of 40%, attributed to elevated input costs.
Sagar Cements Limited reported its un-audited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company's consolidated revenue from operations increased by 5% year-on-year to ₹706.07 crore from ₹670.66 crore in Q1 FY26. However, the consolidated loss after tax for the quarter stood at ₹28.10 crore, a significant shift from a profit of ₹7.49 crore in the same period last year.
Consolidated sales volume for Q1 FY27 was 16,06,209 MT, a 13% increase compared to 14,27,639 MT in Q1 FY26. The capacity utilization stood at 63%. Operating EBITDA for the quarter was ₹724.2 crore, down 40% from ₹1,214.5 crore in Q1 FY26, with EBITDA per ton at ₹451, a 47% decrease year-on-year.
Jt. Managing Director, Mr. Sreekanth Reddy, commented that the company achieved healthy volume growth despite disruptions from heatwaves and election-related labor shortages. He expressed confidence in achieving the FY27 volume guidance of approximately 7 million MT. He also noted that while input cost pressures, particularly in energy, fuel, and packaging, impacted margins, price increases partially offset these costs. The company expects input cost pressures to ease and plans to strengthen its cost structure through Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) and green energy initiatives.
Capex updates include the successful commissioning of the remaining 1.55 MW WHRS at Gudipadu and the completion of a 0.50 MTPA capacity expansion at the Jeerabad unit during the quarter. The company is also expanding the cement capacity at its Gudipadu plant by 0.25 MnT by FY28 with a proposed capex of ₹45 crore. The Dachepalli Plant's clinker capacity has been increased from 1.85 MnT to 2.31 MnT, with cement capacity expected to increase from 2.25 MnT to 3.00 MnT by September 2026.
Standalone results showed a profit after tax of ₹11.41 crore for Q1 FY27, a decrease from ₹26.37 crore in Q1 FY26, with operating EBITDA decreasing by 36% to ₹348.9 crore.
