The board approved unaudited financial results for Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025). On a standalone basis, revenue from operations rose marginally to Rs. 388.32 crore from Rs. 378.13 crore in Q1 FY25, a growth of about 2.7%. However, net profit fell sharply to Rs. 8.97 crore from Rs. 15.16 crore, a decline of roughly 41%, hit by higher raw material costs, increased depreciation, and a one-time exceptional expense of Rs. 2.57 crore towards settlement of a past legal claim on sales commission. On a consolidated basis, revenue slipped to Rs. 417.95 crore from Rs. 439.98 crore, while consolidated net profit dropped to Rs. 9.31 crore from Rs. 19.04 crore. The auditors issued an unmodified review opinion. The board also recommended a final dividend of Rs. 3 per share (60%) for FY25 and fixed September 19, 2025 as the AGM date.
Profitability has weakened sharply despite stable top-line performance, with margins under pressure from rising input costs and a one-time charge. Shareholders get a Rs. 3 dividend, but the steep fall in quarterly earnings may weigh on short-term sentiment.
