The Board approved standalone audited financial results for Q4 and FY26 with an unmodified (clean) auditor opinion from M/s SSVS & Co., after an initial meeting was adjourned for data reconciliation. Revenue from operations fell to ₹51,077 lakhs from ₹54,569 lakhs last year, a decline of about 6.4%. Profit Before Exceptional Items and Tax rose modestly to ₹6,053 lakhs (₹5,261 lakhs prior), showing some core margin improvement. However, the company booked ₹1,710 lakhs as exceptional items, mainly a ₹1,704 lakh VAT settlement order from the Punjab Excise and Taxation department and a small gratuity adjustment due to new labour codes. After these one-time charges, Profit After Tax declined to ₹3,110 lakhs from ₹3,838 lakhs, and EPS dropped to ₹17.90 from ₹22.09. Operating cash flow turned sharply negative at ₹(3,779) lakhs versus ₹6,802 lakhs last year, and closing cash balance fell to ₹7,174 lakhs from ₹13,814 lakhs.
Mixed picture for shareholders: the clean audit opinion and modest core-margin expansion are positives, but the VAT settlement, lower profit, and swing to negative operating cash flow with a roughly halved cash balance raise short-term concerns. Borrowings eased slightly and equity grew, keeping the balance sheet stable, but cash generation needs watching.
