Pitti Engineering Sees Strong Revenue, EBITDA Growth; PAT Trails on Higher Costs
Overview

Pitti Engineering Limited reported a robust Q3 FY26, with total income climbing 15% YoY to Rs. 484 Cr and Adjusted EBITDA surging 25% YoY to Rs. 83 Cr. EBITDA margins held strong at 17.5%. However, Adjusted PAT saw a modest 4% YoY increase to Rs. 30 Cr, with PAT margins at 6.3%, impacted by higher finance costs due to elevated steel inventory. For 9M FY26, revenue grew 14% YoY to Rs. 1,447 Cr, and EBITDA rose 27% YoY to Rs. 242 Cr. The company also announced a strategic merger of its wholly-owned subsidiaries to streamline operations. Strong volume growth in laminations (+21%) and machined components (+43.9%) was noted.

📉 The Financial Deep Dive

Pitti Engineering Limited has unveiled its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025 (Q3 & 9M FY26), showcasing significant top-line and operational profitability expansion, albeit with a notable divergence in net profit growth.

The Numbers:
For Q3 FY26, the company's total income registered a healthy 15% year-over-year (YoY) increase, reaching Rs. 484 Cr. Adjusted EBITDA demonstrated robust growth, surging 25% YoY to Rs. 83 Cr, accompanied by a strong EBITDA margin of 17.5%. However, Adjusted Profit After Tax (PAT) saw a more subdued 4% YoY growth, amounting to Rs. 30 Cr, resulting in a PAT margin of 6.3%.

On a nine-month basis (9M FY26), total income grew 14% YoY to Rs. 1,447 Cr. Adjusted EBITDA saw a significant 27% YoY jump to Rs. 242 Cr, with an EBITDA margin of 17.1%. Adjusted PAT for the period increased 13% YoY to Rs. 97 Cr, holding a PAT margin of 6.9%.

The Quality & The Grill:
While revenue and EBITDA performance were strong, driven by significant volume increases in total laminations (+21.0% YoY) and total machined components (+43.9% YoY) in Q3, the lower PAT growth points to an increased cost burden. Management attributed the higher finance costs to maintaining elevated inventory levels of BIS-certified steel amidst supply uncertainty. This strategy, while mitigating supply risks, has impacted bottom-line profitability. The company aims to address this by liquidating excess inventory and factoring receivables, with tie-ups with BIS-approved mills in Korea and Japan now secured.

Strategic Moves & Outlook:
A key development is the Board's approval for the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pitti Industries Private Limited and Dakshin Foundry Private Limited, with the parent company. This consolidation is aimed at streamlining administrative, operational, and corporate structures to enhance efficiencies and generate synergies.

The company expressed confidence in delivering sustainable medium-term growth, supported by clear demand visibility across sectors like railways, power, industrial & mining, and oil & gas. Ongoing investments in value-added capabilities and calibrated capacity expansion are central to its strategy. Exports continue to be a steady contributor, making up 28% of 9MFY26 revenues.
