Revenue Growth by Segment

Revenue from operations for H1 FY26 was INR 54.98 Cr, a decline of 4% YoY compared to INR 57.11 Cr in H1 FY25. Q2 FY26 revenue stood at INR 30.32 Cr, representing a 23% sequential growth over Q1 FY26 but a 6% decline YoY from INR 32.33 Cr, primarily due to subdued domestic realizations and softer demand in European markets.

Geographic Revenue Split

While specific percentage splits are not disclosed, the company identifies Europe and Japan as key international markets. Revenue was adversely impacted by 'softer demand' in European markets and 'subdued realizations' in the domestic Indian market during H1 FY26.

Profitability Margins

PAT for H1 FY26 was INR 8.37 Cr, a 24% decrease from INR 11.05 Cr in H1 FY25. Net profit margin for Q2 FY26 was approximately 16.2%, showing a 43% sequential improvement in absolute PAT (INR 4.93 Cr) but remaining 23% lower YoY due to higher fixed costs and depreciation from recent capital investments.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin for H1 FY26 was 30.8%, a contraction of 326 bps from 34.0% in H1 FY25. Q2 FY26 EBITDA margin was 31.7%, down 325 bps YoY but up 215 bps QoQ. The YoY decline is attributed to the repricing of contracts within the CRAMS business and increased operational expenses which rose 1% YoY to INR 38.07 Cr in H1 FY26.

Capital Expenditure

The company invested INR 35.66 Cr in investing activities during FY25. For H1 FY26, tangible assets increased to INR 67.90 Cr from INR 57.91 Cr in FY25, reflecting ongoing expansion at the Ankleshwar site. Capital Work-in-Progress (CWIP) stood at INR 8.78 Cr as of September 30, 2025.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

Long-term borrowings stood at INR 27.73 Cr as of H1 FY26. Finance costs surged by 162% YoY in H1 FY26 to INR 1.95 Cr (from INR 0.74 Cr) due to the servicing of debt taken for recent capacity expansions. The Debt-to-Equity ratio remains lean at 0.25x as of FY25.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Key raw materials include chemicals for Pharmaceutical Drug Intermediates and Fine Chemicals. Cost of materials consumed was INR 37.38 Cr in FY25, representing 34.4% of total revenue, a significant decrease from INR 61.05 Cr (48.5% of revenue) in FY24, indicating a shift toward higher-margin complex chemistry.

Import Sources

Not specifically disclosed, though the company operates in global markets including Europe and Japan, suggesting international sourcing or compliance with global standards.

Capacity Expansion

The company is expanding its Ankleshwar site. Tangible assets grew 17.2% in six months to INR 67.90 Cr by September 2025. A new specialty chemicals project for a Japanese client is underway with final project approvals expected by mid-2026.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs as a percentage of revenue improved significantly to 34.4% in FY25 from 48.5% in FY24. This 14.1% reduction in material intensity highlights a strategic move toward complex molecules that require less volume but offer higher value-add.

Manufacturing Efficiency

The company maintains high EBITDA margins (30.8% in H1 FY26) despite market softness, driven by 'solid execution across client projects' and a shift toward niche customized chemical solutions.

Logistics & Distribution

Not disclosed as a specific percentage of revenue.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is shifting toward CRAMS and complex chemistry. SGRL is positioning itself by moving away from commodity intermediates toward niche specialty chemicals to capture higher margins, despite current industry-wide margin moderation to the 24-26% range.

Competitive Landscape

The company faces competition in the CRAMS and API intermediate space, evidenced by the need to reprice contracts to remain competitive.

Competitive Moat

Moat is built on 'Excellence in Complex Chemistry' and 'Advanced Chemical Synthesis.' This technical expertise in complex chemical reactions acts as a barrier to entry, though it requires continuous R&D and capital investment to sustain.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to European economic demand and domestic chemical pricing realizations. A 6% YoY revenue decline in Q2 FY26 was directly attributed to these macro factors.

Consumer Behavior

Shift toward sustainable manufacturing is driving the company's investment in a 1 MW solar park to meet client ESG requirements.

Geopolitical Risks

Trade barriers or economic slowdowns in Europe pose a risk, as the company noted 'softer demand' in that region impacting H1 FY26 performance.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Operations are subject to pollution norms and manufacturing standards for API intermediates. The company holds various accreditations for health, safety, and environmental standards.

Environmental Compliance

Investing in a 1 MW solar power park for renewable energy and implementing sustainable practices to protect the environment.

Taxation Policy Impact

The company's tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgments are involved in determining provisions for income taxes and deferred tax assets.

Legal Contingencies

The company is involved in legal proceedings, but management concludes these are not probable of payment or material. No specific case values in INR were disclosed as being 'material' to the financial position.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

The primary uncertainty is the timeline for the recovery of European demand and the stabilization of domestic realizations, which could impact revenue by 5-10% if softness persists.

Geographic Concentration Risk

Significant exposure to the European market and the domestic Indian market.

Third Party Dependencies

Dependency on a Japanese client for a major specialty chemicals project expected to scale in 2026.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

Risk is mitigated by 'Unmatched Technology Prowess' in complex reactions and continuous R&D infrastructure upgrades.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Trade receivables stood at INR 24.57 Cr as of September 2025. The company monitors the recoverability of these assets, which represent approximately 45% of H1 revenue.
