While revenue growth remained stable, profitability improved meaningfully, driven by better utilization, cost discipline and an improving product mix. On the demand front, domestic markets remained strong, particularly in the CV segment. Exports saw a pickup towards the end of the year, led by the U.S. market, partly supported by pre-buying ahead of upcoming emission-related changes. Our strategic initiatives are now reflecting in performance. The ramp-up of the Pedapariya plant and progress in new product development are translating into tangible gains, with increasing contribution from higher-value products supporting margins. While EBITDA per kg moderated in Q4 due to increase in key raw material prices, the overall trajectory through the year reflects the underlying improvement in margins. We also strengthened our balance sheet through disciplined debt reduction, improving financial flexibility and creating headroom for growth. Combined with better utilization, this has supported a steady improvement in our return metrics. Looking ahead, the overall demand outlook remains constructive. While we remain mindful of near-term uncertainties, including geopolitical developments and broader industry-wide operational challenges such as labour availability impacting the start of FY27, the improving export environment, scale-up of new products and a stronger operating foundation position us well to deliver a stronger performance in FY27.” Result PDF
