Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Reports Q2 FY26 Results with Significant Write-offs
SWSOLAR reported Q2 FY26 revenue growth but posted significant losses due to a ₹580 crore arbitration write-off and ₹2,638.42 crore in standalone write-offs/impairments related to a subsidiary.
The impact is high due to the material financial losses incurred from the arbitration ruling and significant impairment provisions, which severely affected profitability and balance sheet health for the quarter and half-year.
Despite revenue growth, the sentiment is negative due to substantial exceptional write-offs of ₹580 crore from an adverse arbitration ruling and an additional ₹2,638.42 crore in standalone write-offs and impairment provisions, leading to significant consolidated and standalone losses.
* Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited released its Investor Presentation for the unaudited Standalone and Consolidated Financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2025. * The company reported a 70% year-on-year revenue growth in Q2 FY26, reaching ₹1,749 crore. Revenue for the first half of FY26 stood at ₹3,510 crore, an 80% increase compared to 1H FY25. * Gross margins for Q2 FY26 were 8.9%, a decrease from 10.1% in FY25, attributed to the commencement of revenue recognition in high-value turnkey domestic orders, which typically have lower margins than Balance of System (BoS) projects. * The company incurred an exceptional one-time write-off of approximately ₹580 crore in Q2 FY26 due to an adverse arbitration ruling in a US subcontractor case. This resulted in a consolidated EBITDA loss of ₹470 crore and a PAT loss of ₹478 crore for the quarter. * In standalone accounts, the company made significant write-offs and impairment provisions totaling ₹2,638.42 crore. This includes ₹599.70 crore deemed non-recoverable from a wholly-owned subsidiary due to the arbitration outcome, and ₹2,038.72 crore for loans, interest, other receivables, and investments considered doubtful of recovery due to uncertainties in projected cash flows and revised contract terms. * Order inflow year-to-date reached ₹3,775 crore, with a current unexecuted order value of ₹9,287 crore as of September 2025, 83.9% of which is from India. * Net debt increased due to higher vendor payments, and net working capital remained negative at ₹279 crore as of September 2025. * Key developments in 1H FY26 include securing a new term loan of ₹475 crore from IREDA, an upgrade in credit ratings to BBB+ with a Stable Outlook in June 2025, and fresh working capital sanctions from three new banks.
