AWL Agri Business Ltd. Q3 FY'26 Ka Kamaal!
Q3 FY'26 mein AWL Agri Business Limited ka consolidated revenue pichle saal ke compare mein 10% tak badha hai. Company ne overall volumes mein bhi 3% ka rise record kiya hai. Isi quarter mein company ne ₹637 crore ka EBITDA bhi kamaya hai, aur pichle 12 mahine (LTM) ka EBITDA lagbhag ₹2,200 crore par pahunch gaya hai. Management keh raha hai ki operating leverage badhne, product mix behtar hone aur cost control ki wajah se sequential basis par gross profit aur EBITDA per ton mein sudhar hua hai.
Food Business Ki Toofani Tezi!
Company ka sabse bada growth driver raha food segment. Iska flagship Fortune brand aur uske saath food products ne 13% year-on-year growth dikhaya hai. Aur toh aur, recently acquired Kohinoor brand ne toh 32% ki zabardast growth dikhayi hai! Plus, jo G.D. Foods business April 2025 mein acquire kiya gaya tha, woh bhi pichhe nahi hai. Isne 15% revenue aur 18% volume growth ke saath 54% ki healthy margins maintain ki hain.
Aage Kya Hai Plan? Outlook Aur Guidance
Industry Essentials mein oleo volumes toh flat rahe hain, lekin ab specialty chemicals oleo volumes ka 7-8% hissa ban gaye hain. Management apne EBITDA per ton guidance ₹3,500-₹3,600 par kaafi confident hai aur risk management par zor de raha hai.
Food business filhaal investment phase mein hai, jiska target hai next 2-3 saal mein 5-7% ki EBITDA margins achieve karna, haalanki yeh already EBITDA positive hai. FY'27 tak edible oils segment mein single-digit growth aur food segment mein double-digit growth expect ki ja rahi hai. Food business ke liye ₹10,000 crore revenue ka jo ambitious target FY'27 tak tha, woh shayad FY'28 tak extend ho sakta hai, par company uske kaafi kareeb pahunchne ki ummeed kar rahi hai. Demand bhi Q3 mein badhi hai, especially rural aur Tier 2/3 cities mein. Naye products jaise Fortune Multi Grain Atta aur cold-pressed oils launch kiye gaye hain margins improve karne ke liye. US tariffs kam hone se branded oleochemical exports ko bhi kafi fayda hoga.
Risks ki baat karein toh edible oil prices mein volatility aur food margin investment ki wajah se short-term profitability thodi kam lag sakti hai. Investors ko company ke execution aur margin improvement par nazar rakhni chahiye.
