Wendt India Q1 FY27 Results: PAT up 63%, Sales 37%

Key takeaway from the quarter

Wendt (India) Ltd reported a strong set of unaudited numbers for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27), with sharp year-on-year growth in both revenue and profit. Consolidated revenue was reported at ₹71.28 crore, up 36.63% YoY, while consolidated net profit rose 63.49% YoY to ₹6.18 crore. The company also reported quarter-on-quarter improvements across key profitability lines, including operating profit, PBDT, and profit before tax. At the same time, operating margin eased to 15.51%, down 84 basis points sequentially, pointing to cost pressures despite higher volumes. Alongside the quarterly update, Wendt (India) also disclosed a board meeting schedule for October to consider the next set of unaudited results.

Consolidated financial performance: revenue and profit growth

For Q1 FY27, consolidated revenue stood at ₹71.28 crore, compared with ₹66.78 crore in the previous quarter, translating into 6.74% QoQ growth. On a year-on-year basis, the company reported revenue growth of 36.63%. Consolidated operating profit was ₹11.00 crore, up 2.23% QoQ from ₹10.76 crore, and up 51.10% YoY. PBDT came in at ₹12.51 crore, up 4.86% QoQ from ₹11.93 crore, and up 39.46% YoY. Profit before tax (PBT) increased to ₹8.94 crore, a 14.03% QoQ rise from ₹7.84 crore and a 61.66% YoY gain. Net profit for the quarter was ₹6.18 crore, up 21.41% QoQ from ₹5.09 crore.

Standalone numbers also show a sharp YoY jump

The company’s standalone revenue from operations in Q1 FY27 was ₹61.23 crore (6,123 lakh), compared with ₹47.12 crore (4,712 lakh) in Q1 FY26. Standalone profit after tax (PAT) was ₹8.00 crore (800 lakh), against ₹4.95 crore (495 lakh) a year earlier. Standalone profit before tax was reported at ₹10.57 crore (1,057 lakh), described as a 60% year-on-year increase. The data also reported basic and diluted EPS at ₹40.00 versus ₹24.76 in the year-ago quarter. These figures indicate that profit growth outpaced revenue growth on the standalone base for the quarter.

Margin movement: operating margin dips despite higher profits

Wendt (India) reported that operating margin decreased slightly to 15.51%, down 84 basis points from the previous quarter. In another disclosure, consolidated EBITDA was reported at ₹11.00 crore (₹110 million) versus ₹7.30 crore (₹73 million) year-on-year. The EBITDA margin was stated to have expanded to 15.51% from 13.95% on a year-on-year basis. At the same time, the sequential decline in operating margin was attributed in the text to rising costs. This combination suggests that profitability improved versus last year but saw some near-term pressure compared with the immediately preceding quarter.

Demand mix: domestic growth ahead of exports

The quarter’s growth was described as being led by domestic demand. Domestic sales were reported to have grown 38%, while exports grew 7%. The update also linked demand momentum to end-user industries such as auto, auto ancillaries, blades, bearings, and ceramics. These sectors are typically linked to industrial production cycles and tooling and consumables demand. The company’s narrative suggested continued off-take across these user industries during the quarter. No separate segment-level revenue split was provided in the supplied text.

Subsidiary impact on consolidated profitability

While consolidated PAT rose sharply year-on-year to ₹6.18 crore, the disclosure also stated that foreign subsidiaries contributed a net loss of ₹1.39 crore (139 lakh). This was cited as a factor impacting consolidated margins. The presence of a subsidiary loss alongside strong standalone PAT is consistent with the gap between standalone PAT (₹8.00 crore) and consolidated PAT (₹6.18 crore) disclosed for the same quarter. The text also provided approximate margin comparisons: standalone PBT margin was around 17.30% (₹10.57 crore PBT on ₹61.23 crore revenue) and consolidated PBT margin was around 12.50% (₹8.94 crore PBT on ₹71.28 crore revenue). These approximations were explicitly stated in the supplied material.

Board meeting on 21 October 2026 for Q2 and half-year results

In a BSE intimation dated 14 October 2026, Wendt (India) said its board meeting is scheduled for 21 October 2026. The stated agenda includes considering and approving unaudited financial results for the quarter ended 30 September 2026. The company also referenced that the board had met earlier to approve unaudited results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The statutory auditors’ limited review report was also noted as approved, with Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP named in the text.

Key reported numbers at a glance

Market impact and what investors typically track

For investors, the quarter highlights two parallel threads. First is the strong year-on-year expansion in consolidated revenue and PAT, alongside a QoQ step-up in absolute profit. Second is the operating margin movement, with the company noting a sequential decline in margin to 15.51% due to rising costs. The difference between standalone and consolidated PAT is also an important tracker because the disclosure explicitly mentions a net loss of ₹1.39 crore at foreign subsidiaries. Another point to monitor is consistency across disclosures, as consolidated sales were referenced as ₹71.28 crore in one place and group sales of ₹70.93 crore (7,093 lakh) in another. Investors generally look for clarification in subsequent filings or detailed financial statements.

Why this quarter matters

The reported numbers indicate that Wendt (India) entered FY27 with strong year-on-year operating leverage, as profit growth exceeded revenue growth in multiple reported lines. At the same time, the sequential margin dip signals that cost inflation or operating expenses need monitoring even in a growing revenue environment. The explicit note on foreign subsidiary losses adds context to consolidated performance and helps explain the lower consolidated margin versus standalone. The next near-term event on the calendar is the 21 October 2026 board meeting to consider unaudited results for the quarter ended 30 September 2026.

Conclusion

Wendt (India) delivered strong Q1 FY27 growth across revenue and profit, with consolidated revenue at ₹71.28 crore and consolidated net profit at ₹6.18 crore, even as operating margin eased to 15.51% sequentially. Standalone performance showed a sharp rise in PAT to ₹8.00 crore on revenue of ₹61.23 crore. Investors will next track the board meeting scheduled for 21 October 2026, when the company is set to consider and approve unaudited results for the quarter ended 30 September 2026.
