Sundram Fasteners Q2 Profit Rises 14% on Exports

Sundram Fasteners reported higher profit and revenue for the second quarter of FY27, supported by stronger exports and growth in domestic volumes. The Chennai-based auto component maker recorded standalone net profit of Rs 159.98 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with Rs 140.27 crore a year earlier. This represents year-on-year growth of 14%.

The company’s quarterly numbers show a sharp increase in sales, particularly in overseas markets. However, expenses also rose during the period, including a sizeable increase in material costs. The company’s board was scheduled to consider the unaudited Q2 and half-year results at its October 28, 2026 meeting.

Standalone Profit Advances to Rs 159.98 Crore

Standalone net profit rose by Rs 19.71 crore from the corresponding quarter of FY26. Revenue growth helped the company report the increase despite higher operating costs. The Q2 FY27 standalone profit figure was Rs 159.98 crore, while the Q2 FY26 figure was Rs 140.27 crore.

The reported profit growth was linked to export demand and volume expansion in domestic markets. The data provided does not give a standalone operating profit figure, margin figure, or earnings-per-share number for Q2 FY27. It also does not state the impact of any exceptional item on the quarterly result.

Revenue From Operations Climbs 31%

Standalone revenue from operations rose 31% year-on-year to Rs 1,760.77 crore in Q2 FY27. In the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year, revenue from operations stood at Rs 1,338.37 crore. The increase amounted to Rs 422.40 crore.

Total standalone income reached Rs 1,771.97 crore during the quarter, compared with Rs 1,356.09 crore in Q2 FY26. The difference between total income and revenue from operations was Rs 11.20 crore in Q2 FY27. The provided results indicate that revenue expansion was broad-based across domestic and export channels.

Domestic Sales Rise 22% During the Quarter

Domestic sales increased 22% year-on-year to Rs 1,172.90 crore in Q2 FY27. Domestic sales were Rs 956.94 crore in Q2 FY26. This reflects an increase of Rs 215.96 crore over the year-earlier period.

Domestic sales remained the larger contributor among the separately reported sales channels. The company attributed growth to volume expansion across domestic markets. No detailed split by product category, customer segment, or vehicle category was provided in the available information.

Export Revenue Records 57% Growth

Export revenue increased 57% year-on-year to Rs 530.95 crore in Q2 FY27 from Rs 338.02 crore in Q2 FY26. The rise of Rs 192.93 crore was faster than the growth reported in domestic sales. Export demand was identified as a key support for the company’s quarterly profit growth.

The export performance is notable because it contributed materially to the overall increase in standalone revenue. The available information does not identify export destinations, individual products, currencies, or customer contracts behind the rise. It also does not provide a separate export profitability figure.

Higher Material Costs Lift Total Expenses

Total standalone expenses rose 33% year-on-year to Rs 1,557.21 crore in Q2 FY27, from Rs 1,169.17 crore in Q2 FY26. Expenses increased by Rs 388.04 crore, broadly tracking the expansion in revenue. Higher raw material prices were reflected in the cost of materials consumed.

The cost of materials consumed rose to Rs 802.08 crore from Rs 566.87 crore in the previous year’s quarter. This was an increase of Rs 235.21 crore. The results therefore show that the company managed rising input costs while still delivering higher standalone net profit.

Consolidated Revenue Nears Rs 2,000 Crore

On a consolidated basis, Sundram Fasteners reported net profit of Rs 172.63 crore for Q2 FY27. This was 13% higher than consolidated net profit of Rs 152.75 crore in Q2 FY26. Consolidated revenue from operations increased 30.47% to Rs 1,984.50 crore from Rs 1,521.02 crore.

Total consolidated expenses rose to Rs 1,765.40 crore during the quarter, compared with Rs 1,339.81 crore a year earlier. The consolidated figures include the performance of the group’s operations, while standalone results refer to the parent company. The difference between consolidated and standalone revenue from operations was Rs 223.73 crore in Q2 FY27.

The board was also set to consider an interim dividend for the financial year ending March 31, 2027.

The company rescheduled its Q2 FY27 earnings call to 12:30 p.m. IST on Thursday, October 29, 2026. Earlier information had listed the call at 12:00 p.m. IST. The call was to be hosted by Spark Institutional Equities, with CFO R Dilip Kumar and other executives expected to participate.

What the Results Mean for Investors

The quarter indicates that Sundram Fasteners achieved sales growth in both its domestic and overseas businesses. Exports grew faster than domestic sales, while standalone revenue rose by more than Rs 422 crore year-on-year. At the same time, material costs and total expenses increased, making cost management relevant to the company’s financial performance.

No share-price movement, valuation data, management guidance, order-book details, or forward projections were included in the provided information. Investors will therefore look to the October 29 earnings call for management commentary on export demand, domestic volumes, raw material costs, and the board’s decision on an interim dividend. The confirmed Q2 figures show higher revenue and profit, with export growth remaining a central contributor.
