Allcargo Global Limited reported Q1 FY27 results with consolidated revenue of INR3,522 crores, a 5.8% year-on-year increase and 20.8% sequential growth. Gross profit rose to INR733 crores, up 2.5% YoY and 6.5% QoQ. EBITDA improved significantly to INR33 crores, compared to a loss of INR31 crores in Q1 FY26 and INR17 crores in Q4 FY26. The company noted sequential volume growth in most trade lanes, with LCL and air freight seeing about 5% growth and FCL growing 1% QoQ. Management attributed this to improved trade conditions, higher freight rates, and cost control measures, including technology-driven automation and offshoring. Despite geopolitical challenges like the Middle East crisis and Russia-Ukraine war, the company emphasized operational efficiency, reduced loss-making trade lanes, and improved container utilization. The balance sheet showed reduced standalone borrowings to INR272 crores as of June 30, 2026. Management guided toward maintaining flat costs in dollar terms and improving gross profit per unit of cargo, with a focus on LCL's higher profitability. The company also mentioned plans to reduce short-term debt and improve net debt over the next few quarters through working capital optimization and asset divestments.
