Maan Aluminium PAT rises 13.5% YoY to ₹3.10 Cr on 9.8% revenue growth, margins steady

Maan Aluminium's standalone Q1 FY27 (unaudited, quarter ended June 30, 2026) revenue came in at ₹231.86 Cr, up 9.8% YoY from ₹211.19 Cr, with net profit of ₹3.10 Cr, up 13.5% YoY from ₹2.73 Cr, and basic EPS of ₹0.52 versus ₹0.50 a year ago. Sequentially revenue fell 8.9% from Q4 FY26's ₹254.57 Cr, a seasonally stronger quarter, while PAT jumped 82% QoQ off a thin ₹1.70 Cr base — that QoQ profit swing is a low-base artifact and not the headline story; the YoY print is the one that matters. Operating margin held at roughly 2.3% of revenue from operations, essentially unchanged from 2.34% a year ago, and net margin edged up to about 1.34% from 1.28%. Cost of materials consumed rose sharply to ₹61.91 Cr from ₹42.39 Cr YoY (+46%) even as purchase of stock-in-trade eased slightly, while finance costs fell to ₹0.78 Cr from ₹1.45 Cr YoY as the balance sheet strengthened. With no exceptional items in either the current or comparative quarter, the profit growth is purely operational — there is no one-off to strip out. Management's prior (Q4 FY26) commentary flagged FY26 as a challenging year with flat revenue and raw-material/energy cost pressure, and guided near-term volumes to stay flat in FY27 given customer qualification cycles and slower industrial demand. This quarter's 9.8% YoY revenue growth is modestly ahead of that flat framing, though it may reflect price/mix rather than a volume ramp. No formal Q1 street estimates were found — Maan Aluminium is a thinly covered small-cap — though one online source projects 15-20% PAT growth for full FY27, a pace this quarter's 13.5% YoY PAT growth trails slightly. No management press release accompanies this filing beyond the standard board-outcome intimation, so there is no fresh management framing to cross-check against the numbers. The company purchased a New Delhi office for ₹7.24 Cr in May 2026, alongside the previously guided FY27 capex of ₹40-50 Cr aimed at ramping utilization of the Italian extrusion press and Dewas facility and expanding value-added offerings (fabrication, anodizing, powder coating, tubing) toward a 75% capacity-utilization target. The still-thin ~2.3% operating margin has not yet moved on that ramp-up story.
