Symphony FY26 Revenue Declines 28% to ₹1,131 Cr; Board Proposes ₹5 Dividend
Symphony Limited reported FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹1,131 Cr, down 28%. Board proposed a ₹5 per share final dividend. The company undertook a balance sheet reset for its Australian operations, including impairments of ~₹298 Cr (standalone) and ~₹259 Cr (consolidated). Acquisition of CTPL's IPRs (~₹23 Cr) and Bonaire USA LLC (~₹30 Cr) approved.
The substantial decline in revenue and profits, significant impairments in the Australian business, and strategic acquisitions indicate a major shift in the company's financial health and strategic direction, likely to have a high impact on investors and stakeholders.
The company's financial performance shows a significant decline in revenue and EBITDA for both consolidated and standalone operations, coupled with impairments in the Australian business. While a dividend is proposed, the overall financial trend is negative.
Symphony Limited announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025-26, reporting a consolidated revenue from operations of ₹1,131 crore, a decrease of 28% compared to the previous year. The consolidated EBITDA stood at ₹128 crore, down 60%, with an EBITDA margin of 11.3%. Profit Before Tax (PBT) before exceptional items was ₹149 crore, a 54% decline.
On a standalone basis, revenue from operations for FY25-26 was ₹765 crore, a 35% decrease year-on-year. Standalone EBITDA was ₹115 crore, also down 60%, and PBT before exceptional items was ₹164 crore, a 50% reduction.
The Board of Directors has proposed a final dividend of ₹5 per share for the financial year 2025-26, bringing the year-to-date dividend payout to approximately ₹62 crore.
Mr. Nrupesh Shah, Managing Director (Corporate Affairs), commented that the softer revenue performance was against a historically high base in March 2025. The Beyond India Summer Portfolio (BISP) contributed 49% of FY26 consolidated revenue, aiding strategic diversification. Performance in IMPCO Mexico and SCL Brazil remained flat due to channel inventory overhang, while the US business showed strong momentum. However, Climate Technologies Pty Ltd (CTPL) in Australia continued to face challenges with stagnant revenue and negative profit.
Domestically, demand was under pressure during the March 2026 quarter due to cautious channel partners. Export revenue was impacted by geopolitical headwinds. Business momentum has shown signs of improvement from early April, supported by favorable weather.
The company has approved a strategic reset of its Australia business, including impairments of approximately ₹298 crore on a standalone basis and ₹259 crore on a consolidated basis for FY25-26, to align carrying values with current market realities. This reset aims to remove balance sheet ambiguity and create a cleaner base for future evaluation, with no incremental capital to be allocated to Australian subsidiaries.
Additionally, the Board has approved the acquisition of intellectual property rights from CTPL for approximately ₹23 crore and 100% equity in Bonaire USA LLC for approximately ₹30 crore, funded through Symphony's treasury. These acquisitions are expected to bring key brands and patents directly under the listed parent and place the profitable US business under direct ownership, improving clarity and control over intangible assets.
