Goodyear India Q1 FY27: 18% revenue growth, but PAT down 54% YoY as margins compress
Goodyear India's standalone Q1 FY27 (quarter ended June 30, 2026) revenue from operations rose 18.0% YoY to ₹774.35 Cr (₹656.22 Cr a year ago) and 25.7% QoQ (₹616.28 Cr in Q4 FY26). Reported net profit fell 53.9% YoY to ₹6.51 Cr (₹14.11 Cr) and 32.8% QoQ (₹9.69 Cr), with EPS at ₹2.82 versus ₹6.12 and ₹4.20 respectively. No consensus estimate could be located for this specific print — results were announced today and the stock does not appear to carry regular brokerage preview coverage — so vsStreet is unknown; the company also has no formal management guidance on record in our data or in public sources, so the print cannot be benchmarked against a prior outlook.
The headline PAT number is flattered by a one-off. Profit before exceptional items and tax was just ₹0.52 Cr this quarter (₹18.96 Cr a year ago), and the ₹8.70 Cr PBT was reached only because of a ₹8.18 Cr exceptional credit — a reversal of past-service cost on gratuity/compensated-absence obligations that the company had recognised in FY26 following the Labour Codes notified in November 2025 (per note 4 to the filing). Stripping this out and applying the quarter's own ~25% effective tax rate, adjusted PAT works out to roughly ₹0.4 Cr — a ~97% YoY decline from ₹14.11 Cr, versus the 53.9% drop in reported PAT. Net profit margin (PAT/total income) compressed to 0.83% from 2.13% a year ago and 1.56% in Q4 FY26. The squeeze traces to cost of materials consumed rising 36.6% YoY to ₹365.21 Cr (₹267.37 Cr), well ahead of 18% revenue growth, alongside finance costs more than doubling to ₹2.65 Cr (₹1.26 Cr); total expenses grew 21.5% YoY, outpacing revenue.
The board approved the unaudited results at its August 12, 2026 meeting alongside a limited review report from Deloitte Haskins & Sells that raised no qualifications. The only other development in the quarter was a routine product launch (Ultra Grip tractor tyre, July 1) and the standard pre-results trading-window closure; neither has a quantifiable bearing on this print. No management press release accompanying the results was available in the context to cross-check the company's own framing of the quarter.
With raw-material cost inflation outrunning volume/pricing gains and the exceptional credit unlikely to repeat, the key swing factor into Q2 FY27 is whether cost of materials consumed eases back toward historical ratios. Absent that, underlying (ex-exceptional) profitability — near breakeven this quarter — is the number to track rather than the reported PAT figure.
