Ambica Agarbathies reported strong full-year results for FY2026 with total income rising to Rs. 14,954.02 Lakhs from Rs. 12,892.18 Lakhs in FY2025, a growth of ~16%. Profit after tax surged to Rs. 344.74 Lakhs versus just Rs. 48.86 Lakhs in the prior year — a ~7x increase driven largely by the Agarbathies division delivering a segment profit of Rs. 610.55 Lakhs while the Hotel Division remained loss-making at Rs. 107.62 Lakhs. Finance costs are notably high at Rs. 1,127.01 Lakhs. Total borrowings stand at approximately Rs. 8,845 Lakhs across current and non-current liabilities. The Board also approved a preferential allotment of up to 8,48,600 equity shares at Rs. 24 per share to 4 promoter group members, raising ~Rs. 2.04 Crore, subject to shareholder approval at an EGM on June 30, 2026. Statutory auditors issued an unqualified opinion.
The company has delivered a sharp turnaround in profitability, but the high finance costs and heavy borrowings relative to equity (debt/equity ~0.78) remain a concern. The preferential issue to promoters dilutes public holding and signals potential financial stress. The Hotel division continues to be a drag on overall performance.
