Century Enka reported Total Income of Rs 1,74,733 Lacs for FY2026, down from Rs 2,03,901 Lacs in FY2025, representing a ~14.8% revenue decline. However, Net Profit after Tax grew sharply to Rs 10,169 Lacs from Rs 6,710 Lacs (approx. 51.5% PAT growth), driven by improved operational efficiency and cost control. EBITDA margin expanded significantly year-on-year. The Board approved appointment of M/s. Singhi & Co. as new statutory auditors (replacing KKC & Associates LLP) for a 5-year term, subject to shareholder approval. Mr. Suresh Sodani was redesignated as MD & CEO. A dividend of Rs 11 per equity share (110%) was recommended vs Rs 10 previously. Auditors issued an unmodified opinion with an emphasis of matter on an excise duty dispute (demand of Rs 730 Lacs, pending in Supreme Court).
Revenue declined ~15% YoY but profitability surged 51% due to margin improvements, indicating better cost management. The auditor change and excise dispute are routine governance matters but the Supreme Court case carries contingent liability risk. Positive dividend growth signals management confidence.
