Key takeaways
- Mallcom's consolidated Q1FY27 presentation said EBITDA margin rose from 9.31% in Q4FY26 to 12.47%, despite volatile pricing and lower cost absorption on reduced turnover.

- Consolidated net profit was Rs 6.57 cr on revenue of Rs 109.49 cr, with EPS at Rs 10.52.
Sanand production begins during a disrupted quarter
Mallcom reported consolidated Q1FY27 revenue of Rs 109.49 cr and net profit of Rs 6.57 cr. Management said domestic revenue reached its highest-ever Q1 level, while manufacturing commenced at the Sanand facility. The company also said seaport congestion delayed critical raw-material procurement and customer deliveries.
Margin recovery came despite pricing and absorption pressure
The presentation reported EBITDA margin expanding from 9.31% in Q4FY26 to 12.47% in Q1FY27. Management flagged a volatile pricing environment and said lower operating-cost absorption on reduced turnover limited the improvement in profitability. Consolidated operating profit was Rs 13.66 cr, while interest of Rs 1.56 cr and depreciation of Rs 3.56 cr reduced profit before tax to Rs 8.73 cr.
Distribution and product additions widen the offering
Management said the SMILE reseller programme expanded Mallcom's distribution network to over 1,000 resellers across India. The company also said it launched EN 812-certified bump caps and European and American certified flame-retardant workwear, with the latter aimed at expanding opportunities in developed markets.
