Refex Industries Q1FY27: consolidated PAT surges 217% YoY to ₹64.6 Cr, softer QoQ
Refex Industries' consolidated Q1 FY27 (Apr-Jun 2026) revenue from continuing operations rose 160.4% YoY to ₹916.31 Cr (₹351.86 Cr a year ago), led by the newly-scaled Windpower segment (₹297.05 Cr vs ₹0.76 Cr YoY, on execution of the ₹1,500 Cr wind order book management flagged last quarter) and continued strength in the core Ash & Coal Handling business (segment revenue ₹610.50 Cr, +75.9% YoY). On a like-for-like basis including the now-discontinued Green Mobility/Power Trading/Refrigerant Gas units, total group revenue grew a still-strong 147.3% YoY. Consolidated net profit for the period (before non-controlling interests) was ₹64.55 Cr, up 216.9% YoY from ₹20.37 Cr; the owners-attributable slice — the figure most commonly cited externally — was ₹63.80 Cr (+201.3% YoY). Standalone PAT, the company's own headline number, was ₹73.39 Cr, up 76.4% on standalone revenue growth to ₹619.25 Cr. Sequentially both bases pulled back: consolidated PAT fell 31.6% QoQ (owners-basis -29.7%) from Q4 FY26's ₹94.45 Cr, and standalone PAT fell 21.9% QoQ.
The YoY margin story is expansion — consolidated NPM rose to 6.95% from 5.62% a year ago — but QoQ it compressed sharply from 10.07% in Q4 FY26, and that pullback looks largely seasonal rather than a deterioration: Ash & Coal Handling, whose volumes track thermal-plant coal offtake and tends to run lighter in the June quarter, saw segment EBIT drop 20.9% QoQ to ₹111.47 Cr even as it grew 172.8% YoY. The Windpower segment, despite its revenue leap, posted a near-breakeven EBIT of -₹0.34 Cr this quarter versus a positive ₹16.89 Cr in Q4 FY26 — order-book execution is showing up in the top line but hasn't yet turned into segment profit. Discontinued operations (Green Mobility, Power Trading, Refrigerant Gas) added a further ₹9.98 Cr net loss this quarter versus ₹8.85 Cr a year ago, a modest incremental drag on the consolidated bottom line.
Management's FY26-Q4 concall guided to continued Ash & Coal Handling growth "mirroring FY26" and confident execution of the ₹1,500 Cr wind order book — this print bears both out directionally, though wind's profit contribution remains unproven; no specific numeric revenue target was given, so this reads as guidance met rather than a quantified beat. No brokerage consensus or pre-result Street estimate for this print turned up in search, so vsStreet is unknown. No standalone management press-release commentary on this result was available for review. Corporately, the company closed a ₹22.75 Cr ash-transportation contract on July 30 (after quarter-end), and the Refex Green Mobility/Refex Mobility demerger — guided in May to complete "within 90 days" — remains in process: Chennai NCLT ordered a shareholders'/creditors' meeting for August 5, 2026, so the scheme has not yet closed on the original informal timeline. Separately, ₹13.07 Cr of application money on lapsed convertible warrants was forfeited during the quarter (Note 7); this sits on the equity side and the filing shows zero exceptional item in the P&L, so it should not be read as having inflated this quarter's profit.
Going into Q2, the readout to watch is whether Windpower segment EBIT turns sustainably positive as the order book scales, whether Ash & Coal Handling reaccelerates sequentially past the seasonal Q1 dip, and whether the mobility demerger clears its NCLT-ordered shareholder/creditor meeting on schedule.
