Berger Paints Q1 FY27: consol PAT +28.6% YoY (~18% adjusted), margins top guidance range

Berger Paints' consolidated Q1 FY27 revenue rose 12.0% YoY to ₹3,583.8 Cr (standalone +12.7% to ₹3,226.7 Cr), with consolidated PAT up 28.6% YoY to ₹405.0 Cr (standalone PAT +25.5% to ₹368.7 Cr). But Q1 FY26's comparative PAT was depressed by a ₹36.81 Cr exceptional charge (fire loss at the company's Barasat warehouse), which this quarter carries no equivalent item — stripping that one-off from the base, adjusted consolidated PAT growth is roughly 18% YoY (standalone ~15%), still solid but well short of the 25-29% headline the company itself highlights. Consolidated NPM rose to 11.3% from 9.8% a year ago, though it eased from 11.6% in the seasonally stronger Q4 FY26. Value growth outpaced volume growth, per management, on the back of price increases whose "full benefit" is still to accrue — an inversion of the double-digit volume growth guided on the Q3 FY26 concall. Standalone EBITDA margin (excl. other income) of ~17.4% sits at the top of, and by management's own description "slightly ahead of," the 15-17% operating-margin range guided in February — a beat, achieved despite flagged gross-margin moderation from crude-linked raw-material inflation tied to the West Asia conflict. Decorative and Automotive segments led growth, the latter helped by GST cuts and lower financing costs in that end-market; industrial-segment price hikes landed late in the quarter and capped that segment's growth, with management saying the "full gains" land in Q2. No reliable quarter-specific analyst consensus for Q1 FY27 turned up in search — the closest available benchmark is a 22-analyst FY27 full-year consensus of ~12.2% revenue growth and ~14.1% profit growth (Simply Wall St); this quarter's revenue growth roughly matched that annual pace while profit growth, even on the ~18% adjusted basis, ran ahead of it. Our own pre-result preview's revenue expectation of ₹500-520 Cr is roughly 7x below the actual print and is disregarded as a scale/data error rather than a genuine estimate; its qualitative watch items (volume vs monsoon, margin trajectory, FY27 guidance) are addressed above and below. Results land alongside routine annual-cycle corporate items — a ₹4/share dividend recommendation and the 102nd AGM set for August 12 — not tied to this quarter's operating performance. Management's own framing — a "positive start to the new year" despite West Asia-linked crude disruptions, with domestic demand indicators improving and the monsoon progressing better than anticipated — points to continuity rather than a step-change. The clearest forward marker from the release is industrial-segment pricing: increases taken late in Q1 are expected to register fully in Q2, which management says should lift both revenue growth and profitability next quarter.
