Q1 FY27 Concall: Revenue Up 51.6% YoY to ₹59.91 Cr; Kenya Grease Unit Launch in Q3 FY27
Maximus International hosted its Q1 FY27 earnings call, highlighting a 51.6% YoY revenue growth to ₹59.91 Cr supported by volume scale-up in UAE and East African markets. Despite strong topline traction, EBITDA margins shrank from 9.81% to 7.64% due to higher input costs linked to Middle East geopolitical tensions, while net profit dipped slightly to ₹2.05 Cr (vs ₹2.33 Cr in Q1 FY26) on increased finance costs of ₹1.53 Cr. On expansion, the company plans to commission a new grease manufacturing facility at its Kenya plant in Q3 FY27 and is pursuing an inorganic acquisition as an associate. Management noted that top 10 customers/distributors contribute 70-75% of total sales, with a 3-year vision to achieve 75-80% revenue from manufacturing and toll blending.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedSubmission of the detailed transcript of the Q1 FY27 earnings conference call held on August 19, 2026.
Why it mattersProvides management commentary on international lubricant volume expansion, raw material margin pressures, and capacity addition timelines across Africa.
Q1 FY27 Revenue: ₹59.91 CrQ1 FY27 EBITDA Margin: 7.64%Q1 FY27 Net Profit: ₹2.05 CrCurrent Manufacturing Capacity: ~50,000 KLTop 10 Customer Concentration: 70% to 75%
📅 Short termTopline volume growth remains robust, but working capital financing costs and margin pressure from geopolitical input cost spikes may limit near-term net earnings upside.
📈 Long termGeographic expansion in East Africa (Kenya grease unit, Tanzania distribution) and increasing manufacturing/toll blending share toward 75-80% could provide operating leverage over multiple quarters.
⚠ Risk flags
- High customer concentration with top 10 accounts contributing 70-75% of revenue
- Vulnerability of operating margins to Middle East geopolitical events and raw material inflation
- Rising finance costs (₹1.53 Cr in Q1 FY27 vs ₹0.92 Cr in Q1 FY26) to service working capital
Key Highlights
Consolidated revenue from operations rose 51.6% YoY to ₹59.91 Cr in Q1 FY27 from ₹39.52 Cr in Q1 FY26
EBITDA increased 18% YoY to ₹4.58 Cr, but EBITDA margin contracted to 7.64% vs 9.81% in Q1 FY26
Grease manufacturing facility at the Kenya plant scheduled for commissioning in Q3 FY27
Finance costs increased to ₹1.53 Cr (up ₹0.61 Cr YoY) to fund scaling working capital requirements
Top 10 customers/distributor channels account for roughly 70% to 75% of total company revenue
👀 What to Watch
Track the commissioning timeline of the Kenya grease unit in Q3 FY27 and monitor whether EBITDA margins recover from 7.64% as input cost pressures normalize in upcoming quarters.

51.59% Revenue Growth in Q1 FY27; EBITDA Rises 18.15% to ₹4.58 Cr
Maximus International reported a robust 51.59% YoY increase in revenue from operations to ₹59.91 Cr for Q1 FY27. Despite the top-line surge, EBITDA margins contracted to 7.64% (from ~9.8% YoY) due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East impacting raw material and logistics costs. Consequently, Net Profit declined by approximately 12% YoY to ₹2.05 Cr compared to ₹2.33 Cr in the same quarter last year. The company is actively expanding its African footprint with new facilities in Tanzania and Kenya expected to be operational by Q3 FY27.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company has achieved significant revenue scale-up but is currently facing a margin squeeze due to external geopolitical factors affecting its UAE operations.
Why it mattersThe 51% revenue growth indicates strong market demand for its lubricant products, but the decline in PAT highlights the sensitivity of the business model to global raw material and freight costs.
Q1 FY27 Revenue: ₹59.91 CroreYoY Revenue Growth: 51.59%EBITDA Margin: 7.64%Q1 FY27 Net Profit: ₹2.05 CroreQ1 Revenue vs TTM Revenue: ~32.4%
📅 Short termThe market may focus on the strong revenue growth, but the contraction in margins and absolute PAT decline could limit immediate stock price appreciation.
📈 Long termThe expansion into East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) represents a structural move to diversify the distribution footprint and could drive long-term volume growth if execution remains on track.
⚠ Risk flags
🔬 Flagged for deeper Multibagger analysis — view briefs →
- Margin compression due to geopolitical instability

- Year-on-year decline in Net Profit despite higher sales
Key Highlights
Revenue from operations grew 51.59% YoY to ₹59.91 Crore in Q1 FY27.
EBITDA increased by 18.15% YoY to ₹4.58 Crore, though margins were pressured by UAE logistics costs.
Net Profit for the quarter stood at ₹2.05 Crore, down from ₹2.33 Crore in Q1 FY26.
New grease manufacturing facility at the Kenya plant to be commissioned by Q3 FY27.

Rs 59.91 Cr Q1 Revenue: Maximus International Reports 51.6% YoY Growth, PAT Dips 12%
Maximus International reported a strong 51.6% YoY increase in consolidated revenue to Rs 59.91 Cr for Q1 FY27. However, consolidated Net Profit declined by 12% YoY to Rs 2.05 Cr, down from Rs 2.33 Cr in the same quarter last year. This divergence was driven by a sharp rise in raw material costs, which more than doubled to Rs 49.69 Cr, and a 66% increase in finance costs to Rs 1.53 Cr. Standalone operations remain minimal, confirming that the bulk of the business is driven by its UAE and African subsidiaries.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company has achieved a significant scale-up in revenue (reaching ~32% of total FY26 revenue in a single quarter) but is facing margin pressure and higher interest expenses.
Why it mattersWhile the company is successfully expanding its trading and manufacturing volumes through international subsidiaries, the declining profitability despite higher sales suggests a competitive pricing environment or rising input costs.
Consolidated Revenue (Q1): Rs 59.91 CrRevenue vs TTM Revenue: ~32.4%Consolidated PAT (Q1): Rs 2.05 CrFinance Costs: Rs 1.53 CrPBT Margin: 4.02%
📅 Short termThe market may focus on the robust revenue growth, but the decline in net profit and margin compression could lead to a neutral or slightly cautious reaction in the short term.
📈 Long termThe structural shift toward higher volumes is positive, but long-term value creation depends on stabilizing the OPM, which dropped from ~7.3% TTM to lower levels this quarter.
⚠ Risk flags
- Significant margin compression
- Rising finance costs
- High dependence on foreign subsidiary performance
Key Highlights
Consolidated Revenue from Operations rose 51.6% YoY to Rs 59.91 Cr from Rs 39.52 Cr.
Consolidated Net Profit fell 12% YoY to Rs 2.05 Cr compared to Rs 2.33 Cr in Q1 FY26.
Finance costs surged 65.8% YoY to Rs 1.53 Cr, impacting the bottom line.
Cost of materials consumed increased significantly to Rs 49.69 Cr from Rs 22.10 Cr YoY.
Consolidated EPS for the quarter stood at Rs 0.15 versus Rs 0.17 in the year-ago period.
👀 What to Watch
Monitor the company's operating margins in upcoming quarters to see if they can pass on increased raw material costs to customers. Watch for any reduction in finance costs which are currently eating into the improved top-line performance.
Maximus International Q1 Revenue Up 51% YoY to ₹59.9 Cr; Net Profit Dips 12% on Margin Pressure
Maximus International reported a robust 51.6% YoY growth in consolidated revenue for Q1 FY27, reaching ₹59.91 Cr. Despite the top-line surge, consolidated net profit declined by 12% YoY to ₹2.05 Cr, primarily due to a 124.8% spike in raw material costs. Profit Before Tax (PBT) margins contracted significantly to 4.0% from 6.3% in the year-ago period. The results highlight a high-volume, low-margin trading environment where almost all revenue is generated through foreign subsidiaries in the UAE and Africa.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company reported its Q1 FY27 results, showing a major disconnect between high revenue growth and declining profitability.
Why it mattersThe results indicate strong market demand for its lubricants and petrochemical products internationally, but also reveal high sensitivity to commodity price volatility and rising finance costs.
Consolidated Revenue (Q1): ₹59.91 CrConsolidated Net Profit (Q1): ₹2.05 CrRevenue Growth (YoY): 51.6%Q1 Revenue vs TTM Revenue: 32.4%PBT Margin: 4.0%
📅 Short termThe stock may see mixed reactions as the market weighs the impressive 51% revenue growth against the 12% profit decline and margin contraction.
📈 Long termThe company's heavy reliance on international subsidiaries for nearly all its revenue makes it a play on global lubricant trading, but structural margins remain thin.
⚠ Risk flags

- High dependence on foreign subsidiaries
Key Highlights
Consolidated Revenue from Operations grew 51.6% YoY to ₹59.91 Cr from ₹39.52 Cr.
