Board approval and reporting status

SAMIL said it has released unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The results were approved by the Board of Directors on August 06, 2026, according to the information provided. Alongside the headline revenue and profit numbers, the release also carried additional operating and segment disclosures cited across reports.

Profit performance: two profit lines investors track

The quarter saw a 101.6 percent year-on-year increase in consolidated profit attributable to owners to ₹1,032.05 crore. Separately, the company reported consolidated net profit (profit for the period / PAT) of ₹1,075.66 crore for Q1 FY27 in the unaudited consolidated results. Another comparison in the provided material cites net profit at ₹1,075.66 crore versus ₹606.09 crore in Q1 FY26, while the profit attributable to owners comparison is against ₹511.84 crore. These numbers are reported under different profit lines, and the disclosures presented use both depending on the source and definition.

Revenue hits a record, while total income also rises

Revenue from operations increased 16.6 percent year-on-year to ₹35,243.77 crore from ₹30,212.00 crore. In another reference point, revenue is cited at ₹35,243 crore to ₹35,244 crore, described as the company’s highest-ever quarterly revenue with about 17 percent year-on-year growth. Total income increased to ₹35,325.33 crore from ₹30,292.48 crore in Q1 FY26. In the same set of disclosures, ₹35,325.33 crore is also referenced as “total revenue from operations,” reflecting how different summaries may label the line items.

Costs and expenses: materials and operating costs rise

SAMIL’s total expenses increased to ₹33,964.73 crore in Q1 FY27 from ₹29,408.42 crore a year earlier. The company attributed the rise mainly to higher material, employee and other operating expenses. Cost of materials consumed rose to ₹19,378.83 crore from ₹16,238.47 crore in Q1 FY26. These movements show that revenue growth came alongside higher input and operating costs, making operating efficiency and mix important for margin outcomes.

EBITDA, margins, and profitability metrics

EBITDA for the quarter was reported at ₹3,096 crore, up 26 percent from ₹2,459 crore last year, as per one report, and another summary cited EBITDA of ₹3,104 crore. EBITDA margin expanded by 80 basis points year-on-year to 8.8 percent, though it was also described as 30 basis points below a CNBC-TV18 poll estimate of 9.1 percent. Another profitability metric cited in the material is a consolidated operating margin of 4.8 percent versus 3.9 percent in Q1 FY26. Basic EPS was reported at ₹0.98 compared with ₹0.48 in the year-ago quarter.

Segment snapshot: wiring harness and emerging businesses

Segment disclosures cited in the provided material indicate growth across multiple businesses. Wiring harness revenue was reported at ₹11,280 crore for the quarter, compared with ₹864 crore in the same quarter last year, with segment EBIT at ₹1,253 crore. Modules and Polymer Products revenue rose to ₹16,694 crore from ₹15,008 crore. Vision systems revenue increased to ₹5,654 crore from ₹5,137 crore, while integrated assemblies revenue was ₹2,949 crore versus ₹2,818 crore. Emerging business revenue grew to ₹4,795 crore from ₹3,701 crore.

Capital allocation: capex and leverage position

SAMIL reported capital expenditure of ₹1,614 crore for Q1 FY27, described as aligned with its growth priorities and annual guidance. The company also highlighted a leverage ratio of 0.8x, which it said supports capacity for organic and inorganic growth. Separately, another “quick details” snapshot in the material listed net debt at ₹8,379 crore for the latest quarter.

Acquisitions and integration updates

Alongside the results, the company’s updates referenced acquisitions, including the acquisition of Shenzhen Autocruis. The provided material also lists acquisition completion dates for several transactions: Nexans (July 2026), Yutaka Giken (July 2026), Shinnichi Kogyo (July 2026), Vacuform 2000 (August 2026), and Nissin India (April 2026). These dates indicate a busy integration calendar around and after the quarter end.

Key numbers at a glance

Why the results matter for investors

The quarter’s financials show that SAMIL grew revenue at a mid-teens rate while expanding profitability metrics such as EBITDA and EBITDA margin. At the same time, the cost line moved up materially, particularly materials consumed and total expenses, which makes sustained margin delivery dependent on operating execution and mix. Segment disclosures point to broad-based growth across modules and polymers, vision systems, integrated assemblies, and emerging businesses, alongside the reported wiring harness performance. The acquisition completions listed around July and August 2026 also underline that inorganic actions remain part of the company’s growth approach.

What to watch next

Investors are likely to monitor how recently completed acquisitions are integrated and how the cost base evolves given the rise in materials and operating expenses this quarter. Another key item will be whether operating margin improvements can be sustained as the company scales output across segments. The next set of periodic disclosures and any additional integration updates after the August 06, 2026 board approval will provide more detail on execution progress.
