The board meeting is scheduled for August 13, 2026, to consider the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q1 FY27.
The earnings conference call is scheduled for August 14, 2026, at 1:30 PM IST.
Manorama enters Q1 FY27 with a strong base, supported by a 52,000 MTPA fractionation capacity and a 9% YoY weakening of the rupee, which provides a translation tailwind for its 57% export-oriented revenue. The company's cost-plus manufacturing model for top-tier MNC clients, combined with the recent halving of basic customs duty on crude palm oil to 10% effective March 24, 2026, should provide structural support to margins. While startup losses from nine new global subsidiaries and potential byproduct price volatility remain factors, the company's large inventory buffer of Rs. 727.78 Cr as of March 31, 2026, acts as a hedge against near-term raw material price fluctuations. Management's guidance for FY27 revenue growth of 30% or more and sustainable EBITDA margins of 25-27% will be the key benchmarks for this quarter's performance. The upcoming call will likely focus on the run-rate of revenue growth, the impact of the customs inquiry deposit on the P&L, and the deployment strategy for the Rs. 500 Cr QIP proceeds.

Manorama reported standalone revenue of Rs. 382.30 Cr in Q4 FY26, representing a sequential growth of 5.3% compared to Rs. 363 Cr in Q3 FY26.
The company received a summons under Section 108 of the Customs Act regarding India-UAE CEPA tariff claims and voluntarily deposited Rs. 20.64 Cr on July 29, 2026. Manorama has issued a debit note to the UAE supplier for reimbursement and reserved its rights to arbitration.
Management has provided guidance for FY27 revenue growth of 30% or more and a sustainable EBITDA margin range of 25-27% on a yearly basis. These targets are supported by capacity expansion and an improved value-added product mix.
