Dai-Ichi Karkaria Ltd reported a significant decline in FY2025-26 with standalone revenue falling 11% to Rs 16,130 lakhs from Rs 18,138 lakhs in the previous year. The company swung from a profit of Rs 618 lakhs in FY25 to a net loss of Rs 71 lakhs on standalone basis and Rs 74 lakhs on consolidated basis. EBITDA turned negative at Rs (27) lakhs standalone versus Rs 1,709 lakhs positive last year. The board recommended a reduced dividend of Rs 1.50 per share (15%) compared to Rs 3.50 per share in the previous year. Exceptional items of Rs 20 lakhs relate to one-time impact from new Labour Codes implementation. The auditors gave an unmodified opinion confirming clean financials.
The sharp revenue decline and transition to loss-making territory is a major concern for shareholders. The 57% dividend cut signals the board's conservative approach amid declining profitability. However, positive operating cashflow of Rs 518 lakhs and unmodified audit opinion provide some stability.
