CNL Q4 FY26
What went well
- Total income for FY26 grew by 50.85% YoY to INR2,717.51 crores, crossing the INR2,700 crore mark.
- Q4 FY26 total income saw an 81.16% YoY growth to INR740.44 crores, indicating strong closing quarter performance.
- Full year EBITDA increased by 41.7% YoY to INR104 crores, surpassing the INR100 crore threshold.
What to watch
- Receivable days increased to approximately 20% of turnover in FY26, up from 13.41% in the previous year, due to Q4 growth and extended credit for new businesses.
- Middle East war has significantly impacted logistics costs, with freight costs rising from $1,500-$1,700 to $7,500-$8,000, potentially reducing business in the region by 50%.
