Essar Shipping's board, on February 13, 2026, approved unaudited standalone and consolidated results for Q3FY26 (quarter ended December 31, 2025). Standalone, the company posted a profit after tax of ₹217.37 crore for the quarter, boosted by exceptional income of ₹291.43 crore from reversal of impairment provisions, against an operating loss of ₹7.06 crore; EPS after exceptional items was ₹10.5. Consolidated, however, the company reported a loss of ₹88.20 crore for the quarter and ₹76.49 crore for the nine months, with EPS of ₹(3.70). The auditors flagged a 'material uncertainty related to going concern,' noting that current liabilities exceed current assets, the key management and supervision agreement (the main revenue stream) has been terminated, accumulated losses stand at ₹6,164 crore standalone, and the company has been disposing of assets to repay lenders. Management said net worth improved by ₹356 crore during the quarter and plans to monetize overseas subsidiary investments to become debt-free. The board also approved the sale of investments in DrillXplore Services Private Limited for a consideration of ₹46,000, expected to complete by February 28, 2026.
This is a mixed picture for shareholders. The standalone profit is largely driven by one-time accounting reversals rather than real operating performance, while the consolidated business continues to lose money. The auditor's going-concern warning and continued asset sales to repay creditors highlight serious financial stress, though management's plan to monetize overseas investments and become debt-free could be a positive catalyst if executed.
