Sheela Foam Ltd

Sheela Foam Ltd announced the appointment of Ms. Avantika Singh Gautam as a non-executive, non-independent director for a term of five years, effective August 4, 2026. This appointment is subject to shareholder approval. Ms. Gautam is a seasoned broadcast journalist and media professional with extensive experience. She also has a background in strategy and execution from her work with Teach For India. Her educational background includes programs from Harvard Kennedy School and The Fletcher School at Tufts University. Ms. Gautam is related to existing directors of the company.

Sheela Foam Ltd. reported a strong Q1 FY27 performance, with consolidated revenue exceeding ₹1000 crore for the first time in a Q1, reaching ₹1,032 crore, a 26% year-on-year growth. Consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) surged by 9.5 times to ₹62 crore, compared to ₹7 crore in Q1 FY26. EBITDA also saw a significant increase of 45% YoY to ₹109 crore, with margins expanding by 139 basis points to 10.6%. The company highlighted strong growth in its mattress and foam segments, with volume increases of 6% and 4% respectively, and value growth of 15% and 26%. E-commerce sales also showed robust growth. The Chairman & Managing Director expressed optimism for sustained growth and profitability.

Sheela Foam's consolidated PAT for Q1 FY27 came in at ₹62.3 Cr against ₹6.55 Cr a year ago — the ~9.5x jump management itself highlighted — on revenue of ₹1,031.9 Cr, up 25.6% YoY though down 1.7% QoQ from Q4 FY26's ₹1,050.1 Cr. YoY is the right lens here: Q1 FY26 was an unusually weak quarter (NPM just 0.86%), so even after stripping the ₹6.26 Cr exceptional gain on the Haridwar land sale, adjusted PAT of ~₹56 Cr is still up roughly 756% YoY — real recovery, not just base-effect optics, but the raw 9.5x headline overstates the underlying run-rate. Standalone PAT, by contrast, grew a much smaller ~3.1x YoY (₹43.9 Cr vs ₹10.7 Cr) — the gap versus consolidated is driven by a 42% YoY jump in overseas subsidiary revenue (₹262.7 Cr vs ₹184.9 Cr) and an 81% YoY rise in the Furlenco/House of Kieraya JV profit share (₹3.11 Cr vs ₹1.72 Cr), both of which sit only in the consolidated books. Margins tell a more mixed story than the PAT headline suggests. Consolidated NPM improved sharply YoY (6.0% vs 0.86%) but slipped QoQ from 8.7%, while EBITDA-level margin (PBT before exceptionals + finance cost + depreciation, over revenue) was ~12.1% this quarter versus ~12.6% in Q4 FY26 and ~9.2% a year ago — expanding YoY but giving back some of the sequential gain. That keeps margins within the '11-12% bracket' management flagged as the current level on the Q4 FY26 call, rather than showing the clear step-up toward improvement it had guided for; the 6.26 Cr one-off gain also flatters the reported bottom line versus the underlying margin trend. On guidance and Street: management's FY27 call was for value growth exceeding 15%, and Q1's 25.6% YoY revenue growth already clears that bar. Pre-result brokerage estimates (Univest) had pegged Q1 revenue at ₹907-1,044 Cr and PAT at just ₹6-8 Cr — actual revenue landed near the top of that range, but PAT beat the estimate by roughly 8x, a sharp street beat on profitability even allowing for the low comparison base and the one-off gain. Management's own release framed the quarter as a continuation of 'healthy momentum' in mattress and foam, with e-commerce and U2O initiatives 'gaining scale' — the 25.6% topline growth and Kurlon-driven consolidated strength support that framing, though the flat-to-lower QoQ margin undercuts any claim of margin momentum this specific quarter. Corporate developments this quarter — completion of the Kurlon-related subsidiary integration, board reconstitution with Avantika Singh Gautam's appointment as Non-Executive Director, and payment of the ₹1/share FY26 final dividend on July 30, 2026 — are largely structural and don't materially move this quarter's P&L, but the board addition follows through on the governance changes flagged in the pre-result watch list.
