    Management Summary

    Sellowrap Industries reported an improved EBITDA margin of 14% in H1FY26, driven by operational efficiencies. The company holds a robust order book of ₹275 crores and anticipates 8-10% top and bottom line growth for FY26 and FY27. However, short-term loans increased, and H2FY26 saw negative CFO due to plant investments, while QoQ revenue remained flat.

    Concerns

    3
    • Short-term loans and advances increased from ₹8.22 crores (FY25 end) to ₹15.16 crores (H1FY26), attributed to new plant investment and machine imports.

    • Cash flow from operations (CFO) was negative in H2FY26 due to investment in the plant, despite ₹21 crores in FY25.

    • Revenue was flat on a Quarter-on-Quarter (QoQ) basis, though management attributed this to automotive sector seasonality and noted nominal growth.

    Why it matters

    To assess the impact of sales growth and fixed cost leverage on profitability.

    Mr. Saurabh Poddar: That margin will continue to be on a similar line as our, sales will increase. There would be definitely a bit of increase in the... PAT margins also, because of fixed cost and over-cost being common for those here, which will not increase as much as what the sales would require.

    02

    Financial Performance and Outlook

    The company reported an improvement in EBITDA margin from 12% to 14%, attributed to cost-cutting, automation, waste control, and inventory management. Management projects an 8-10% top line and bottom line growth for FY26 and FY27, aiming to surpass the 11% market CAGR with a 14-15% minimum CAGR. Revenue from the Foam product line grew from ₹57.24 crores in 2025 to ₹65.31 crores in 2025-26, representing a 14.1% increase.

    03

    Operational Highlights and Capacity

    Sellowrap maintains a high capacity utilization of 77-80%. From its current asset base, the company estimates an optimum revenue potential of ₹250-300 crores. The company's plants are strategically located in key Indian automotive hubs, with 49% of total sales value from Ranipet, 23% from Pune, and 20% from Gurgaon. The company has a current order book of ₹275 crores, which is expected to be executed within 2 years.

    04

    Product Portfolio and Market Leadership

    Sellowrap offers a diversified product portfolio including plastic injection molded parts, foam components, sealing solutions, and EPP molded products. The company is a market leader in Foam and Water Shield products, holding an estimated 60-70% market share in one of its products. Approximately 80-90% of the company's revenue comes from four-wheelers, with minimal contribution from two-wheelers, and the remainder from tractors, buses, and white goods.

    05

    Capital Allocation and Investments

    Short-term loans and advances increased from ₹8.22 crores at FY25 end to ₹15.16 crores in H1FY26, primarily due to investments in a new plant in Pune, internal recruiters, and converting imported machines into bank loans. Cash flow from operations turned negative in H2FY26, a direct result of these plant investments. The company spends approximately 1-1.5% of its revenue on R&D and plans for further capacity and plant expansion over the next 3 to 5 years to support revenue growth.

    06

    EV Transition and R&D

    Sellowrap is actively developing new components required for EV vehicles at its Ranipet R&D Center, although specific details remain confidential. The company's products are largely adaptable for both ICE and EV platforms. The management is confident that investments in plant and machinery, potentially funded by IPO proceeds, will enable the development of new product lines, including those for the EV segment.
