JBM Auto Q3 Earnings Results Out: Profit Rises 5% Despite Margin Pressure

JBM Auto Ltd reported a moderate rise in net profit for the December quarter, supported by strong revenue growth across its operations. However, operating margins remained under pressure due to higher costs and exceptional items during the period.

JBM Auto Q3 FY26 Earnings Results Highlights 

For the quarter ended December 2025, JBM Auto posted a net profit of ₹55 crore, marking a 4.6% year-on-year increase from ₹52.6 crore in the same quarter last year. The improvement in profit came mainly from higher revenues, even as operating performance weakened.

Revenue for the quarter rose 15.6% year-on-year to ₹1,614 crore, compared with ₹1,396.2 crore in the corresponding period last year. The growth reflected increased activity levels across the company’s business segments.

Operating Performance and Margins

Despite the strong top-line growth, operating profitability declined during the quarter. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell 1.6% year-on-year to ₹173.4 crore, down from ₹176.2 crore a year earlier.

As a result, the operating margin narrowed to 10.70% from 12.60% in the year-ago quarter. The margin contraction highlights rising cost pressures faced by the company during the period.

Impact of Exceptional Items

JBM Auto reported exceptional items linked to the implementation of new labour codes and operational disruptions. These exceptional costs amounted to ₹8.40 crore in the standalone financial results for the quarter.

On a consolidated basis, exceptional items stood at ₹9.64 crore for both the quarter and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2025. These factors had a direct impact on operating profitability and margins.

JBM Auto Share Price Movement

Following the announcement of the quarterly results, JBM Auto shares witnessed positive movement in the market. The stock touched an intraday high of ₹573.60 on the NSE. As of 2:23 pm, the JBM Auto share price was trading at ₹566.70, up 0.91% from the previous close.
