Cera Reports Revenue Growth but Profit Declines in India

India: Cera Sanitaryware reported an 11.1% year-on-year increase in Q3 FY26 revenue to US$55 million, while profitability declined due to higher input costs. EBITDA fell 14.0% to US$5.6 million, and margins contracted to 10.2% from 13.2%. Profits after tax dropped 48.4% to US$2.6 million, affected by rising brass prices and exceptional provisions linked to new labour codes. For the first nine months of FY26, revenue rose 5.2% to US$155 million, while profit declined 21.2%.

Management stated that sanitaryware and faucetware accounted for 48% and 40% of quarterly revenue, respectively, with faucetware showing stronger growth. The project segment contributed 38% of total sales. The company plans price revisions and efficiency measures to address cost pressures while continuing retail and distribution expansion.
