₹103 cr Consolidated net profit for Q4 FY26, more than double the prior year.

What's new

  • Q4 revenue rose 18.9% to ₹585 crore, with net profit hitting ₹103 crore.
  • US formulations revenue climbed 283% to ₹39 crore during the quarter.
  • EBITDA margins expanded to 18.2% from 11% in the same period last year.

Why this matters

The quarterly surge provides a lift after a sluggish year for FDC's domestic business. The annual growth of 3% shows that the core domestic portfolio remains a drag on performance.

What we're watching

  • Whether the US momentum in fluconazole tablets can offset flat domestic sales.
  • Sustainability of the 18.2% EBITDA margin in the coming fiscal year.
  • Signs of recovery in top domestic brands that weighed on FY26 performance.

The full read

FDC closed FY26 with a strong fourth quarter, reporting a 18.9% year-on-year revenue increase to ₹585 crore. Net profit more than doubled to ₹103 crore, aided by a 283% surge in US formulations revenue to ₹39 crore and an expansion in EBITDA margins to 18.2% from 11% a year ago. The full-year picture is more subdued. Revenue for the year rose just 3% to ₹2,171 crore, while net profit grew 5.5% to ₹281 crore. The disparity between the quarterly spike and the annual stagnation points to the ongoing struggle in FDC's domestic formulations business, where top brands have remained sluggish. The US FDA approval for fluconazole tablets and the margin improvement are positive signs, but the company faces the challenge of translating this quarterly recovery into consistent annual growth.
