Kokuyo Camlin reported total revenue from operations of Rs 80,596.81 lakhs for FY2026, up 5.7% from Rs 76,252.88 lakhs in FY2025. Profit after tax surged to Rs 2,478.79 lakhs compared to just Rs 583.39 lakhs in the previous year, representing a PAT growth of over 325%. The Board recommended a dividend of Rs 0.30 per share (30%). However, statutory auditors BS R & Co. LLP issued a qualified opinion due to an inventory shortage of Rs 2,356.81 lakhs discovered in FY2025, where the impact on prior periods could not be precisely ascertained. Short-term borrowings reduced significantly from Rs 4,171.07 lakhs to Rs 2,647.98 lakhs. Cash generated from operations improved to Rs 5,025.99 lakhs.
Strong bottom-line growth with PAT up over 325% is positive for shareholders, but the qualified auditor opinion regarding inventory discrepancies raises concerns about internal controls and comparability of financial figures.
