VST Tillers Tractors delivered exceptional full-year performance in FY26, achieving a record high turnover of ₹1,240 crore, representing a substantial 25% increase year-on-year driven by strong volume growth across power tiller and tractor segments. However, the fourth quarter presented a stark contrast with net profit after tax plummeting 80% year-on-year to ₹5 crore despite a 9% rise in Q4 revenue to ₹328 crore. According to the company's latest financial results, this sharp decline in reported profit has raised questions among investors about underlying cost pressures or one-off expenses, though the company's strategic initiatives including new product launches and market expansion continue to support growth momentum.
The reported Q4 profit decline was significantly impacted by accounting adjustments, with adjusted PAT for Q4 FY26 actually increasing 36% year-on-year to ₹39 crore when excluding fair value gains or losses. For the full fiscal year, the adjusted PAT grew by 61% to ₹113 crore, while the reported FY26 PAT was ₹106 crore, up 15% year-on-year. The company's operational metrics reflected mixed performance during the quarter, with EBITDA declining 16.4% to ₹47 crore from ₹49.3 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, though the EBITDA margin improved to 14.3% from 13.4% a year ago. The significant impact on profitability was largely due to fair value losses on investments of ₹33.74 crore during Q4 FY26, compared with a loss of ₹3.85 crore in Q4 FY25.
VST Tillers demonstrated robust operational performance with power tiller sales volume surging 34.9% to 50,332 units for the full fiscal year FY26. In Q4 FY26 specifically, power tiller sales volume was 12,958 units, a slight decrease of 2.4% year-on-year. The company highlighted its strategic initiatives including the launch of new products like FENTM Red and Black, and expansion of its weeder range. Participation in agri-tech exhibitions indicates a focus on innovation and broadening market reach, positioning the company to compete effectively against major players such as Escorts Kubota and Mahindra & Mahindra in the tractor segment while maintaining its strong position in power tillers.
