Summary of Somany Ceramics's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Last updated:
In the earnings call held on November 7, 2025, management of Somany Ceramics Limited provided an outlook indicating a mid- to high single-digit growth for the fiscal year 2025-26. The company reported a growth of approximately 3.6% for the quarter, despite challenges such as flooding in the Northern Territory, which significantly impacted sales. Capacity utilization stood at 75%, partly affected by a 20-25 day gas supply outage at the Kassar plant, which in turn reduced EBITDA margin by about 1% to 1.2%.
Management maintained their EBITDA margin guidance, expecting an improvement of 100 to 150 basis points for the fiscal year, and mentioned that if the Kassar plant had not experienced outages, margins would have reflected a better performance. The company also reported that gross margins declined, and while ceramic sales fell by 1%, GVT sales increased by 1%, contributing positively to revenue.
For the second half of the fiscal year, they anticipate improved capacity utilization and thus better margins, with a target of achieving 10% EBITDA margins in H2. Management noted that they have retained a price hike of approximately 1.5% implemented in July and are considering another hike if demand continues to rise.
Other forward-looking points include expectations of JVs turning around by Q4, and a planned change in product mix at the Vintage plant to enhance its performance after facing production challenges. Lastly, management highlighted their commitment to maintaining no working capital usage, with plans to strengthen the balance sheet further, ensuring no debt on the standalone books of Somany Ceramics.

Question 1: "Have you seen any pickup in demand in October? How is the demand outlook?"
Answer: We've experienced a slight growth in October, which is promising given that it coincided with Diwali and Chhath Puja. This sets us up for a clean run through the next five months. Overall, demand seems to be returning steadily, especially after growing 3.6% last quarter despite adverse conditions in North India.
Question 2: "What was the quantum of price hike on a blended basis?"
Answer: The price hike on a blended basis was approximately 1.5%. We've managed to retain this increase, and if demand continues to improve, we may consider another price hike either in this quarter or early next quarter.
Question 3: "How is the margin guidance? Can you provide clarity on the impact of the Kassar plant?"
Answer: The Kassar plant's outage impacted our EBITDA by approximately 1% to 1.25%. Had it not been for this, we would have seen better margins. I am maintaining our guidance of an EBITDA margin improvement of 100 to 150 basis points for FY '26.
Question 4: "How did export demand shape up this quarter?"
Answer: Our exports declined by about INR 6 crores due to timing issues with vessel availability. Despite this, industry-wide exports rose approximately 7%, signaling overall growth potential and reaching projected total exports between INR 19,000 and INR 20,000 crores this year.
Question 5: "What are the expected contributions from the sanitary ware segment moving forward?"
Answer: We're anticipating that sanitary ware will constitute around 15% to 16% of our overall revenue within the next year. Currently, it's about 12%, and we expect it to continue growing as we enhance our positioning in this segment.
Question 6: "What are your views on double-digit margins? When can we expect it?"
Answer: I believe we will see double-digit margins starting within the next couple of quarters as we increase capacity utilization and improve our product mix, allowing us to achieve an EBITDA above 10% in H2.
Question 7: "What will be the capex for the next 12 to 18 months?"
Answer: We do not have any significant capex planned for the next 12 to 18 months as most of our investment has been completed. This will aid in reducing debt levels and enhancing profitability.
Question 8: "Could you clarify the performance of the Max plant and when it will start contributing positively?"
Answer: The Max plant is currently operating at 50% utilization, and we are confident it will reach 75% to 80% by Q4. This level of operation should stop further losses, with profitability anticipated to start next year.
