Issuer guidance and extracted claims are tracked against later reported outcomes. Treat these as management statements, not IndiaPulse forecasts.
The investor presentation explicitly provides Q4 FY26 vs Q4 FY25 and FY26 vs FY25 comparisons. For a consumer durables business, YoY comparison is more relevant to account for seasonality and long-term market trends.
Revenue growth for the quarter stood at 11%. All divisions recorded double-digit growth over corresponding quarter of previous year.
Revenue growth for the year stood at 10%, with overall performance impacted by subdued growth in the first quarter.
PBDIT margin improved marginally to 5.54% from 5.29% in Q4 FY25.
PBDIT % on revenue for the year was 6.10% as against 6.52% in previous year.
Cost optimization remained a top priority. Initiatives to expand channel coverage, sharpen product mix, and strengthen profitability across segments continue to progress.
In H1 of FY27, we shall rationalise our SKU portfolio from 58 to 25 SKUs for front load washers. Top Load SKUs will reduce from 37 to 24 in Q1 FY27. AC SKUs will reduce from 41 to 16 in Q2 FY27.
The Company maintained cash and cash equivalents of ₹357.27 crores, resulting in a net cash position of ₹344.50 crores. No prepayments are made to conserve cash for future strategic requirements.
The AC price has been increased by 8%-10% to improve price positioning and absorb commodity/forex price increases.

Verification checkpoints are IndiaPulse research interpretation, not investment advice.
Trust asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.
Limited evidence: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 93rd percentile of the scored universe and 96th percentile within Consumer. No major sub-score weakness stands out.
This is a financial-behaviour screen, not a claim-tested management reliability verdict.
Financial behaviour is scored, but management claims do not yet have enough outcome checks.
overall median 67 · Consumer: 96th pctile, median 66 · Micro: 86th pctile, median 73
110 documents have extracted text, but claim history is not strong enough yet.

Read Trust alongside U-Score, result consistency, and technical trend. A cheap stock with weak Trust needs a larger margin of safety; a high Trust score does not make an expensive stock attractive by itself.
Read low sub-scores as due-diligence warnings, not automatic sell signals.
Trust Lite uses financial behaviour only. Prefer claim-tested Trust when enough concall claims have later outcomes.
