Finolex Cables' consolidated PAT rose 53.1% YoY to ₹249.04 Cr (standalone ₹221.28 Cr, +59.4% YoY — running ahead of the consolidated print because the associate's profit contribution grew more slowly and includes an unquantified exceptional item) on revenue of ₹2,013.15 Cr, up 44.3% YoY and a modest 3.2% QoQ. Our pre-result preview had set an on-plan bar of roughly ₹200-240 Cr PAT (the figures in that note appear mis-scaled by 10x) against mid-single-digit volume growth and 15-17% EBITDA margin; the actual print cleared that bar on profit and margin, while revenue growth far outpaced the volume guide because much of it is copper-price pass-through rather than volume. Consolidated NPM expanded to 12.4% from 11.2% a year ago and 11.3% last quarter. The company's press release puts EBITDA (before exceptional items, interest, depreciation and tax) at ₹299.4 Cr versus ₹184.8 Cr YoY, roughly 14.9% margin versus 13.2%. Nearly all of the expansion traces to communication cables, where segment result jumped to ₹52.52 Cr from just ₹1.30 Cr a year ago on materially higher optic fiber volumes and realizations — a benefit management had guided to show up only in H2 FY27 once renegotiated fiber contracts reflected higher input costs, so it is arriving ahead of schedule. Electrical cables, the largest segment, grew volumes 7% YoY (agri, industrial and solar applications cited as strongest), with segment result up to ₹181.97 Cr from ₹117.38 Cr. The drag: Copper Rod revenue fell to ₹8.01 Cr from ₹403.42 Cr YoY and the segment swung to a ₹(3.41) Cr loss because the plant was not operated all quarter — management attributes this to limited LPG/PNG fuel availability tied to the Middle East conflict, the same risk flagged on the last call. Against the May 2026 concall — where management warned of copper- and rupee-driven margin pressure needing 'multiple price increases' and gave no formal margin guidance for the year — this quarter's margin expansion shows those price actions holding even as copper stayed elevated (the release notes another price increase in May). The board used the same meeting to approve five-year re-appointments for four directors (Vanessa Singh, Zubin Billimoria, Sriraman Raghuraman, Ratnakar Barve), formalize Mahesh Viswanathan and Sachin Naik as CEO/CFO KMPs following the May 28 elevation, and appoint a new Company Secretary — governance continuity rather than a numbers event. A ₹1.3 lakh tax demand received in June is immaterial. Management's own release framing — 44% revenue growth from strong electrical-wire volumes and high-margin optic fiber performance, with the copper rod plant shutdown called out explicitly — matches the segment data exactly. Two threads carry into Q2: whether the Copper Rod plant restarts once Middle East-linked fuel supply eases, and whether communication cables can hold a mid-teens-plus segment margin as more fiber contracts reprice through H2 FY27. The new Fiber Draw Facility (4 million fkm) is guided to reach full capacity by Q3 FY27, the next capacity catalyst to track.
