Kirloskar Brothers Limited Q1 FY27
What went well
- Consolidated revenue grew 13% YoY to Rs.11,049 million, reflecting strong market positioning and execution capabilities.
- Standalone EBITDA grew 16% YoY to Rs.920 million, with PAT increasing 15% YoY to Rs.540 million.
- Consolidated order intake increased 4% YoY to Rs.13,954 million, providing continued visibility for future growth.
What to watch
- Consolidated EBITDA margin moderated to 11.8% (from 13% in Q4 FY26), primarily due to a lower contribution from the high-margin services business in SPP UK.
- Inventory buildup of Rs.82 crores and delays in dispatches were noted due to foundry modernization and partially completed orders.
What Kirloskar Brothers Limited does
Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) designs, manufactures and sells centrifugal and other pumps, industrial valves, hydel (hydro) turbines and low-tension induction motors, and also executes EPC/turnkey pumping projects for irrigation, water supply, power, oil & gas, marine & defence, building & construction and industrial customers. It earns through a mix of made-to-stock small pumps sold to households and farmers, made-to-order and engineered-to-order large pumps for utilities and industry, and standalone EPC/project contracts (its international subsidiaries do not undertake EPC/project work).
