NEW DELHI – ACC Ltd. Thursday posted lower-than-expected consolidated net profit for the June quarter due to a sharp rise in tax and expenses tied to purchases of stock-in-trade during the quarter. However, its revenue beat the Street estimate and clocked the strongest year-on-year growth in 16 quarters.

 

Following the announcement of the June quarter results, the company's stock price fell almost 1% to INR 1,932 on the National Stock Exchange. The stock fell further to close 3.1% lower at INR 1,890.

 

The Adani Group company reported a consolidated net profit of INR 3.75 billion for the June quarter, up over 4% on year but down 50% on quarter. The net profit was much lower than the INR 5.59 billion expected by analysts. The cement-maker's consolidated revenue for the June quarter rose 18% on year but was largely flat sequentially at INR 60.36 billion, beating analysts' consensus estimate of INR 57.56 billion.  

 

In Apr-Jun, consolidated revenue from cement sales increased nearly 17% on year to contribute INR 57.15 billion to the company's total revenue and that from sales of readymix concrete rose 27% to add INR 4.16 billion. ACC's clinker and cement sales volume grew 12% on year in Apr-Jun to 11.5 million tonnes, marking the best-ever June quarter volume registered by the company. 

 

ACC's operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation in Apr-Jun were INR 7.78 billion, up from INR 6.79 billion in the year-ago quarter. Operating EBITDA margin for the quarter contracted by 30 basis points on year to 12.8%

 

Presenting its outlook for the industry, ACC said in a statement: "Cement demand growth in Q1 FY'26, remained strong at 4% amid favourable macroeconomic situations and sustained demand from housing and infrastructure segments. Outlook for Q2 FY'26 continues to remain strong." The company expects overall cement demand in the current fiscal to grow 6% to 7% on the back of rise in demand for affordable housing and higher spending on infrastructure.  End
