Lotus Chocolate Company Ltd reported its Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) unaudited results. Revenue from operations rose about 12.3% year-on-year to ₹15,870.76 lakhs, up from ₹14,130.93 lakhs in Q1 FY25. However, profit after tax fell sharply by around 56% to ₹298.66 lakhs from ₹685.84 lakhs, as total expenses grew much faster (~20.8%) than revenue, driven mainly by higher raw material costs and a jump in finance costs. Earnings per share came in at ₹2.33 versus ₹5.34 a year ago. The prior-year quarter figures have been restated to factor in the amalgamation of wholly owned subsidiary Soubhagya Confectionery Pvt Ltd (SCPL), effective May 2023. Statutory auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued a clean (unqualified) limited review report with no qualifications or emphasis of matter.
Strong top-line growth was offset by a steep drop in profitability, signalling margin compression from rising input and finance costs — a negative signal for near-term earnings momentum, though the clean auditor review and restated comparables lend credibility to the reported numbers.
