The board of Genus Paper & Boards Limited met on August 12, 2025 and approved unaudited financial results for Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025). On a standalone basis, revenue from operations rose about 21.5% year-on-year to Rs. 25,057 lakhs, while profit after tax jumped around 41% to Rs. 416 lakhs and EPS improved to Rs. 0.16 from Rs. 0.11 a year ago. Cost of materials and finance costs both rose notably, but operating leverage kept profitability higher. On a consolidated basis, revenue grew about 21% to Rs. 25,545 lakhs, but PAT was nearly flat at Rs. 274 lakhs (down from Rs. 283 lakhs) because the wholly owned subsidiary Genus Paper and Coke Limited reported a loss of about Rs. 142 lakhs. The board also appointed Mr. Sanjay Kumar Agarwal, the company's CFO since 2014, as Executive Whole-Time Director for three years, and reconstituted the Committee of Directors for Bank Funding. Jethani & Associates is the new statutory auditor, replacing D Khanna & Associates, and issued an unqualified limited review report.
Strong standalone numbers—double-digit revenue growth and a 41% jump in standalone PAT—signal healthy momentum in the core paper business and should be viewed positively by shareholders. The weak subsidiary performance and the recent change of statutory auditor are minor points to watch but are not flagged as concerns.
