MUMBAI – An exceptional cost dragged down the consolidated net profit of Amber Enterprises India Ltd. for the June quarter but adjusted for this one-time loss, profit was above analysts' expectations. Sales, however, missed the consensus view. Despite elevated input costs and supply chain disruptions due to the war in West Asia, the company managed to expand its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation, EBIT, and EBITDA margin on a yearly basis. 

 

Amber Enterprises' net profit came in at INR 222.70 million due to an exceptional cost amounting to INR 1.23 billion. The exceptional cost was on the back of Amber Enterprises' material subsidiary, IL JIN Electronics (India) Pvt. Ltd., increasing its stake in its subsidiary Ascent Circuits Pvt. Ltd. to 97.50% from 60% in 2024.

 

Adjusted for the one-time expense, the company reported a net profit of INR 1.26 billion. Analysts had pegged the net profit at INR 1.17 billion. For the year-ago quarter, profit stood at INR 1.04 billion.

 

The company's total revenue from operations for the quarter under review grew almost 13% on year but fell over 6% on quarter to INR 38.88 billion. The on-year growth in revenue is higher than the preceding quarter but less than the year-ago quarter. The Street saw its revenue for the quarter at INR 42.68 billion. 

 

Sales from the company's primary consumer durables division rose almost 7% on year to INR 28.03 billion and those from its electronics division increased more than 28% to INR 9.85 billion. Revenue from railway sub-system and defence vertical grew almost 18% to INR 1.44 billion. 

 

The electronics manufacturing services company's total expenses climbed nearly 14% for the June quarter to INR 37.69 billion from INR 33.18 billion in the corresponding quarter a year ago. This is faster than the 13% on-year rise in revenue and total income individually. The cost of raw materials consumed, which make up the majority of its spend, rose 12.5% to INR 30.7 billion. Raw material costs made up 81.5% of total expenses, as against 82.3% a year ago. Costs linked to employee benefits rose 72% to INR 1.55 billion for the quarter. 

 

 

The company's adjusted consolidated operating EBITDA for the quarter ended June increased 28% year-on-year to INR 3.37 billion. The EBITDA is adjusted for employee benefit expenses and costs incurred in its electronics segment to acquire PowerOne Micro Systems Pvt. Ltd., Israel-based Unitronics, and Shogini Technoarts Pvt. Ltd. The overall EBITDA margin expanded to 8.7% from 7.6% a year ago. The company's EBIT increased 18% to INR 2.67 billion.

 

On a segmental basis, operating EBITDA for the consumer durables division for the June quarter went up 12% on year to INR 2.14 billion. The electronics division's EBITDA jumped over twofold to INR 1.07 billion. However, the railway sub-systems vertical's EBITDA declined to INR 160 million from INR 220 million a year ago.

 

The company's EBITDA margin for its consumer durables business came in at 7.8%, 30 basis points higher on year, and that of the electronics segment widened 440 bps to 10.8%. The electronics segment's margin grew despite its bare printed circuit board business witnessing margin compression due to elevated copper prices. The company is executing the pass-through of this hike to its customers, according to its investor presentation. 

 

The railway division's EBITDA margin for the June quarter contracted 660 bps to 11.3%. Continued commodity inflation, especially in copper, currency fluctuations, product mix changes, and a revision of minimum wage in Haryana weighed on this division's margin, the company said.

 

For 2026-27 (Apr-Jun), revenue growth in the consumer durables business, which involves the manufacturing room air conditioners, commercial air conditioners, washing machines and refrigerators, is expected to be in line with industry growth, the company said in its presentation. Sales from the railway vertical are expected to grow 30–35% for FY27 and order book potential for this business is more than INR 27.50 billion, Amber Enterprises said. 

 

Amber Enterprises reported its earnings for the quarter ended June Friday. At 0928 IST, shares of the company traded almost 1% lower at INR 7,117 on the National Stock Exchange.  End
