Cera Sanitaryware has reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026. The company announced an 11.4% year-on-year increase in revenue for Q4 FY26, reaching ₹643.80 crore. For the full fiscal year 2026, revenue climbed 7.0% to ₹2,050.10 crore.
Profit After Tax (PAT) for the fourth quarter stood at ₹77.30 crore, bringing the full fiscal year PAT to ₹204.20 crore. The company also reported EBITDA of ₹97.90 crore for the quarter, with its EBITDA margin improving to 15.20% from approximately 14.50% in the same period last year.
The company attributed its strong topline performance primarily to robust growth in the sanitaryware and faucetware segments. Sanitaryware sales increased by 10.7% year-on-year in the quarter, while the faucetware segment experienced a significant 24.3% surge, reflecting solid demand and effective market strategies.
This growth builds upon Cera Sanitaryware's performance in the previous fiscal year, FY25, when it achieved consolidated revenue of ₹1,916.60 crore and PAT of ₹198.90 crore. The sector, including Cera, has faced challenges from rising input costs, particularly for brass and other raw materials, which affected industry margins throughout FY25.
In response to these cost pressures, Cera Sanitaryware implemented a strategic pricing revision in March 2026. The company is also concentrating on expanding its premium brand portfolio, featuring names like Senator and CERA Luxe, alongside value-oriented offerings such as Polipluz. These efforts are designed to enhance market positioning and drive future growth. Investors will be closely monitoring how Cera manages near-term fluctuations in input costs due to ongoing market volatility.
Cera Sanitaryware's results show it holding its ground among peers like Kajaria Ceramics, Somany Ceramics, and HSIL. Its particularly strong 24.3% growth in the faucetware category may offer a competitive edge.
