Centum Electronics reported standalone revenue growth of 25.4% to Rs. 9,706.25 million for FY2026 (vs Rs. 7,741.86 million in FY2025). However, the company posted a net loss of Rs. 1,170.50 million for the year, compared to a net profit of Rs. 456.31 million in FY2025, due to exceptional items totaling Rs. 2,033.07 million. These exceptional items comprise a Rs. 1,537.83 million write-off of investment in Centum T&S Group Societe Anonyme (S.A.), which filed for Redressement Judiciaire (bankruptcy equivalent) in France, and provisions of Rs. 396 million for trade receivables and Rs. 100.78 million for inventory related to discontinuing its Canadian subsidiaries. The company declared a final dividend of Rs. 5 per share (50%) and reappointed KPMG as internal auditor. Statutory auditors issued an unmodified opinion.
While revenue growth is strong, the massive exceptional items have turned a likely profitable year into a deep net loss. The write-offs related to overseas subsidiaries (Centum T&S Group and Canadian ops) represent significant disposal of non-performing assets, which may provide cleaner future earnings but also signal prior investment decisions gone wrong.
