Control Print posted its highest-ever Q1 standalone revenue of Rs. 1,005 mn, up 14% YoY, driven by strong printer sales and demand from dairy, sugar, plywood and cement sectors. PBT before exceptional items grew 30% YoY to Rs. 265.6 mn, and reported PAT jumped 31% to Rs. 212.6 mn, helped by a one-time Rs. 39.9 mn capital investment grant from the Himachal Pradesh government. However, gross margins slipped 518 bps to 56.5% and EBITDA margin fell 447 bps to 22.1%, as higher printer sales (lower-margin product mix) weighed on profitability. Consolidated revenue grew 13.8% to Rs. 1,113 mn but consolidated EBITDA declined 9% YoY. The company highlighted three growth pillars: scaling coding & marking globally (including Markprint, Codeology and a new UAE subsidiary), expanding the QRiousCodes track-and-trace business (boosted by government mandate on top 1,000 drugs), and growing the V-Shapes packaging business.
Strong top-line growth and multi-year CAGR of 15% in revenue and 31% in PAT (FY20-FY25) reinforce the long-term growth story, but margin compression from a higher printer-sales mix is a near-term watchpoint. Zero standalone borrowings, a Rs. 10 dividend (100% payout), and CRISIL A/Stable rating support financial stability, while acquisitions in Italy and the UAE point to continued global expansion.
