Kansai Nerolac reported standalone revenue from operations of Rs 7,739 crore for FY26, up 3.2% from Rs 7,497 crore in FY25. However, standalone profit after tax fell 39% to Rs 620 crore from Rs 1,021 crore previously. The profit decline is largely due to exceptional items: FY26 recorded a net exceptional loss of Rs 61 crore (including Rs 45 crore provision for new labour code, Rs 10 crore fire loss at Ghaziabad warehouse, and Rs 6 crore impairment), while FY25 had an exceptional gain of Rs 479 crore mainly from Rs 665 crore profit on sale of investment property at Lower Parel. The company recommended dividend of Rs 2.50 per share (250%) for FY26, same as FY25 regular dividend despite the lower profits. The auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financial statements.
PAT declined significantly year-on-year due to one-time gains last year and exceptional losses this year, but underlying operations remain profitable. The dividend was maintained at normal levels. Shareholders may see volatility as the market digests the headline profit decline, though the core paint business is still generating positive cash flows.
