The announcement is a transcript of an earnings call, providing factual information about financial performance and management commentary. While there are positive developments like EBITDA improvement and breakeven at the Max plant, the overall sentiment is neutral as it reports past performance and future outlook without significant positive or negative surprises.
Somany Ceramics Limited has released the transcript of its earnings conference call held on May 15, 2026, discussing the financial performance for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The call featured insights from MD & CEO Abhishek Somany, Head of Bathware Shrivatsa Somany, and CFO Sailesh Raj Kedawat.
During the call, the management highlighted a 6% sales growth in Q4 and 5% for the full year, with EBITDA improving by 3.2% in Q4 and 1% for the year. Capacity utilization remained largely flat at approximately 79%, though it improved to 82% in the quarter. A significant positive development was the breakeven achieved at the Max plant, a turnaround from a loss of ₹9 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
Sales volume for tiles increased by 3% in GVT, with a corresponding 3% reduction in ceramic and PVT. Sanitaryware sales grew by 8% to ₹320 crore. The company noted a substantial increase in gas prices post the geopolitical events, which impacted industry dynamics. Despite this, Somany Ceramics managed to pass on input cost increases to an extent.
The company added a net of 200 dealers across India, bringing the total dealer showrooms to approximately 3,100. For the future, the guidance is to improve EBITDA margins by at least 1.5% or more, assuming no further geopolitical shocks. The management believes that organized players like Somany Ceramics are poised to gain from industry disruptions, particularly due to capacity shutdowns in Morbi and a narrowing price difference between organized and unorganized players.
Discussions also covered working capital improvements, with receivable days managed around 40 days. The company expressed confidence in its ability to navigate the current environment, anticipating pent-up demand for tiles and continued growth in sanitaryware and bathware segments, which offer better margins. The company also noted an embargo on share buybacks for the next 6-8 months due to ongoing JV consolidations.
