Detailed Narrative
Strong Q2 FY26 Performance Driven by ISCS Segment
TVS Supply Chain Solutions delivered a landmark Q2 FY26, with consolidated revenue growing 6% year-on-year to INR2662.6 crores. This growth was primarily fueled by the Integrated Supply Chain Solutions (ISCS) segment, which saw an 8.4% year-on-year revenue increase to INR1,993.0 crores. The ISCS segment also demonstrated significant margin expansion, with EBITDA margins reaching 8.7% in Q2 FY26, up from 8.2% in the prior year.
Profitability Surges with PBT and PAT Growth
The company reported a substantial improvement in profitability, with PBT increasing by 30.8% year-on-year to INR23.32 crores in Q2 FY26, and PAT surging by 54% year-on-year to INR16.31 crores. This marks the best PBT since public listing and the second consecutive quarter of positive PAT, reflecting focused execution and disciplined cost management. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the quarter stood at INR178.5 crores, maintaining a healthy margin of 6.7%.
GFS Segment Faces Headwinds but Shows Sequential Improvement
The Global Forwarding Solutions (GFS) segment experienced macro headwinds🌐, resulting in flat year-on-year revenue at INR669.6 crores and a decline in EBITDA margins to 2.2% from 4.2% in Q2 FY25. However, the segment showed sequential improvement, with revenue growing 9.9% from INR609.4 crores in Q1 FY26 and EBITDA margins modestly increasing from 2.1% to 2.2% sequentially, signaling early signs of stabilization. Management is cautiously optimistic💬 about its recovery, targeting 3.5-4% EBITDA margin in the near term.
Strategic Initiatives and Cost Management Drive Future Profitability
TVS Supply Chain Solutions is actively implementing "Project One" in the UK and Europe, which is on track to deliver annualized savings of INR110-120 crores, with INR50-60 crores expected in-year. These initiatives, coupled with rightsizing and right-shoring, are expected to further enhance profitability. The company aims to achieve a 4% PBT margin by Q4 FY27, driven by these strategic actions and an improving business mix.
Robust Business Development and Healthy Order Pipeline
The company secured new business wins totaling INR204 crores in Q2 FY26, representing 8.1% of Q2 FY25 revenue. The order pipeline remains strong at INR6,200 crores, providing solid revenue visibility. Approximately one-third of this pipeline, or INR2,066 crores, is attributed to the India business, which is expected to see 4-5% quarter-on-quarter growth going forward⏳, supported by new contract wins and anticipated uptick in volumes due to GST changes.
North America Expansion and Debt Position
TVS Supply Chain Solutions has an aspiration to achieve $0.5 billion in top line for its North American business, with plans to grow it by 150-200 (likely percentage) over the next year or so. The company's net debt as of September 2025 stood at INR285.7 crores, an increase from INR232.2 crores in March 2025, primarily due to capex funding for a major project in SCS North America. Cash from operations for H1 FY26 was INR105 crores, reflecting improved financial discipline.
