Chatha Foods reported H1 FY26 standalone revenue of ₹8,408.66 lakhs, up about 13.9% from ₹7,383.87 lakhs in H1 FY25. Standalone profit after tax came in at ₹319.13 lakhs, marginally lower than ₹323.27 lakhs a year ago, with EPS of ₹1.33 vs ₹1.44. On a consolidated basis (now including the 70%-owned JV Allana CF Foods Pvt Ltd), revenue was ₹8,405.68 lakhs and PAT was ₹292.57 lakhs after a small minority interest share. EBITDA margin shrank to around 7.5% from 8.6% YoY as expenses rose faster. Operating cash flow was negative at about ₹(255) lakhs in both standalone and consolidated books, largely due to working capital build-up. Long-term borrowings jumped to ₹1,090.32 lakhs from ₹358.18 lakhs to fund the JV processing plant. The statutory auditor issued a clean limited review report with no qualifications.
Steady top-line growth is a positive, but flat-to-slightly-lower profits, compressed margins and a negative operating cash flow may weigh on sentiment. The new JV is pre-production, so near-term returns depend on when the processing plant starts contributing — expect a watch on capex progress and working-capital trends in coming quarters.
