30 Jul 2025 CW Team

SJS Enterprises Limited, a leading player in India’s decorative aesthetics industry, has announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended 30 June 2025.

In Q1 FY26, the company reported revenue of Rs 2.10 billion, marking a year-on-year growth of 11.2 per cent. This was driven by robust growth in the two-wheeler (32.7 per cent) and passenger vehicle (13.8 per cent) segments. The company continued its trend of outperformance for the 23rd consecutive quarter, with automotive business growth of 22.8 per cent against the industry’s 1.2 per cent growth.

EBITDA stood at Rs 587.2 million, up 16.3 per cent year-on-year, with margins expanding by 106 basis points to 27.6 per cent. Profit after tax rose by 22.6 per cent to Rs 346.2 million, with a PAT margin of 16.5 per cent, reflecting efficient cost management and execution discipline.

SJS generated strong cash flows during the quarter, ending with a net cash position of Rs 1.31 billion and free cash flows of Rs 325.6 million. The company successfully converted approximately 101 per cent of EBITDA into operating cash flow.

Operationally, the company added Hero MotoCorp as a key customer and began supplies during the quarter. It also won export orders from Autoliv and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in the US, and added Yazaki for its domestic automotive portfolio.

Ongoing capacity expansions in Pune and Bengaluru are expected to boost responsiveness and manufacturing scale. SJS also received the Green Manufacturing Excellence Award (GMEA) from Futurescaper and the GMP certification from TUV.

Managing Director Mr K.A. Joseph commented, “We’ve had a positive start to FY26 with continued strong demand and market share gains. Our premiumisation strategy, customer additions, and focus on global markets continue to deliver value.”

Executive Director & Group CEO Mr Sanjay Thapar added, “Our automotive business significantly outperformed the market and we are seeing positive momentum across exports and domestic demand. With a strong balance sheet, we are well positioned to drive strategic growth organically and inorganically.”
