Genus Paper & Boards Ltd reported strong FY2025-26 results with revenue from operations growing 10.7% to Rs 93,997 Lakh from Rs 84,915 Lakh in the prior year. Profit after tax surged 80.4% to Rs 1,458 Lakh versus Rs 808 Lakh last year. The auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. Key accounting notes: (1) the company revised the estimated useful life of Plant & Machinery to 35-40 years based on a technical evaluation, reducing depreciation by Rs 429.57 Lakh for the year and boosting profits; (2) a major fire occurred at the Muzaffarnagar stock yard on May 24, 2026, damaging raw material inventories — loss is uninsured and pending assessment, with no adjustment made in the financials. The company also divested its wholly-owned subsidiary Genus Paper and Coke Ltd effective March 6, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents stood at negative Rs 3,913 Lakh, reflecting heavy cash credit usage.
The 80% PAT growth is positive for shareholders, but the fire incident at the Muzaffarnagar plant creates uncertainty around potential inventory losses and insurance recovery. Investors should monitor the insurance claim outcome and any impact on Q1 FY2027 results.
