Kothari Fermentation & Biochem Ltd reported audited standalone financials for FY ended March 31, 2026. Revenue from operations grew 23.5% to Rs 11,423.10 lakhs from Rs 9,246.87 lakhs in FY25. However, profit after tax declined to Rs 105.13 lakhs from Rs 117.26 lakhs in the prior year, a 10.3% decrease. The company declared EPS of Rs 0.54 for FY26 vs Rs 0.70 in FY25. Cash flow from operations turned negative at Rs -232.07 lakhs compared to positive Rs 110.19 lakhs in FY25. Total borrowings increased significantly from Rs 4,279.66 lakhs to Rs 5,468.54 lakhs. The board also approved appointment of M/s Arun K. Garg & Associates as internal auditor for FY 2026-27 at Rs 1.10 lakh remuneration. Auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financial results.
Positive revenue growth was offset by declining profitability and negative operating cash flow. The significant increase in debt levels raises concerns about financial leverage. The clean audit opinion provides some comfort on financial reporting quality.
