Chemplast Sanmar reports ₹45 cr net loss in Q4FY26 on exceptional charge

Chemplast Sanmar on Monday reported a consolidated net loss of ₹45 crore for the quarter ended March 2026 (Q4FY26) due to an exceptional charge of around ₹150 crore. Net loss narrowed from ₹54 crore in the same quarter last year and from ₹119 crore in the quarter ended December 2025 suggesting improvement in operational performance. Revenue for Q4FY26 grew 9 per cent YoY to ₹1256 crore and EBITDA margin grew from 3 per cent to 15 per cent.

Pursuant to the West-Asia crisis and challenges in availability of raw materials, Chemplast Sanmar’s subsidiary entered into certain non-cancellable procurement arrangements in March 2026 that are onerous in nature; this led to an aggregate charge of ₹149.9 crore as exceptional items for the quarter and year ended March 2026, the company said in its financial statements.

For the full year 2026, consolidated net loss was ₹280 crore, up from ₹110 crore in FY25. Revenue was down 3 per cent at ₹4224 crore. EBITDA margins stayed flat at 5 per cent.

The Board at its meeting on Monday appointed V S Radhakrishnan as Non-Executive and Non-Independent Director with effect from 25th May, 2026. Further, the Board has also constituted a committee of three Independent Directors to examine the strategic priorities for the company. “The Committee may evaluate potential reorganisation and M&A opportunities and will table their findings to the Board for review and appropriate decision making,” Chemplast Sanmar said.
