Everest Kanto Cylinder reported standalone revenue of Rs. 96,669 lakhs for FY26, up 2.2% from Rs. 94,622 lakhs in FY25. Standalone Profit After Tax grew strongly by 52% to Rs. 8,119 lakhs from Rs. 5,330 lakhs, with EPS at Rs. 7.24 vs Rs. 4.75. Consolidated revenue was Rs. 1,47,057 lakhs, slightly down from Rs. 1,49,921 lakhs, while consolidated PAT jumped 50% to Rs. 14,667 lakhs. The company recorded an exceptional item loss of Rs. 1,288 lakhs comprising Rs. 1,129 lakhs penalty for non-fulfillment of Net Foreign Exchange obligation and Rs. 159 lakhs impact from new labour codes. Auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 0.70 per share (35%) subject to shareholder approval.
Strong PAT growth of 50-52% despite modest revenue decline is positive for shareholders. The exceptional penalty item is a one-time charge and should not impact recurring earnings. The clean audit opinion and dividend recommendation are reassuring signals.
