NITINSPIN - Nitin Spinners
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Total revenue for Q2 FY26 was INR 760.08 Cr, representing a degrowth of 7.59% YoY. H1 FY26 revenue stood at INR 1,553.40 Cr, down 4.43% YoY. While segment-specific growth percentages for yarn vs. fabric were not explicitly broken down for the quarter, the company noted that lower sales volumes overall led to the revenue decline.
Geographic Revenue Split
In Q2 FY26, exports contributed 61% of total revenue, while the domestic market accounted for 39%. For the full year FY25, export revenue share increased to 64% from 59% in FY24, reflecting a strategic shift toward international markets to mitigate domestic demand fluctuations.
Profitability Margins
Net profit margin for FY25 was 5.31%, up from 4.53% in FY24. However, Q2 FY26 PAT fell to INR 34.78 Cr, a 17.50% YoY decline. Operating profit margin for FY25 was 14.37%, driven by full capacity utilization and stable raw material prices during that period.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin for Q2 FY26 was 13.10%, a decrease of 90 bps from 14.00% in Q2 FY25. EBITDA for the quarter was INR 99.56 Cr, down 13.54% YoY. The margin compression was primarily attributed to lower sales volumes and competitive pricing pressures in the textile segment.
Capital Expenditure
The company is executing a large-scale brown-field expansion project with a revenue potential of approximately INR 400 Cr. Total bank facilities were enhanced to INR 2,375.62 Cr in July 2025 to support these capital requirements and working capital needs for the expanded scale.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
CARE Ratings reaffirmed the long-term rating at 'CARE A' but revised the outlook from 'Stable' to 'Positive' in July 2025. Short-term facilities are rated 'CARE A1'. The company maintains a prudent debt-to-equity ratio of 0.53 as of September 2025, down from 0.62 in March 2025.
