Lotus Chocolate Company reported Q2 FY26 revenue from operations of ₹16,043.93 lakh, up about 25% from ₹12,829.30 lakh in Q2 FY25. For the first half (H1 FY26), revenue rose to ₹31,914.59 lakh from ₹26,960.23 lakh a year ago, an increase of roughly 18%. The company swung back to a modest profit before tax in Q2 after a loss in the year-ago quarter, though overall profitability for the half remained thin. Statutory auditors Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unqualified (clean) limited review report, with no qualifications, going-concern flags, or emphasis-of-matter paragraphs. However, the balance sheet shows total borrowings of ₹19,701.70 lakh against equity of only ₹6,399.98 lakh (debt-to-equity around 3x), and the cash flow statement shows cash used in operating activities stayed negative in H1 FY26, similar to the prior-year period.
Strong top-line growth signals solid business momentum and a likely turnaround in quarterly profitability, which is supportive for the stock. At the same time, the heavy debt load (around 3x equity) and continued cash burn from operations point to balance-sheet stress that investors should weigh against the growth story.
