Lotus Chocolate Company posted Q2 FY26 revenue of ₹16,043.93 lakh, up about 25% from ₹12,829.30 lakh in Q2 FY25, while H1 FY26 revenue grew ~18% to ₹31,914.59 lakh. Q2 profit after tax rose to ₹294.35 lakh (vs ₹236.07 lakh), but H1 FY26 PAT actually fell sharply to ₹703.12 lakh from ₹1,743.50 lakh last year, dragged down by weak Q1 results. Total expenses also climbed sharply, with finance costs jumping from ₹137 lakh (Q2 FY25) to ₹407.69 lakh in Q2 FY26. Borrowings surged to ₹19,701.70 lakh against equity of ₹6,399.98 lakh, and trade receivables almost doubled to ₹24,936.37 lakh. Cash flow from operations remained negative, with ₹3,599 lakh used in H1 FY26. Auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unqualified limited review report.
Strong top-line growth is encouraging, but the steep fall in half-yearly profit, surging debt and persistent negative operating cash flows raise concerns about quality of earnings and financial health. Shareholders may see the stock react negatively given the weak bottom-line despite revenue gains.
