Martin Burn Ltd's board, at its meeting on 28 October 2025, approved the unaudited standalone financial results for the quarter and half-year ended 30 September 2025. For Q2 FY26, total income was nearly flat at around Rs 180.00 lakhs versus Rs 179.55 lakhs in the year-ago quarter, but total expenses jumped about 22% to Rs 97.35 lakhs from Rs 79.55 lakhs. As a result, net profit fell to Rs 58.84 lakhs from Rs 67.28 lakhs (down roughly 12.5%), with basic EPS of Rs 1.14 versus Rs 1.31. For H1 FY26, net profit was Rs 115.31 lakhs versus Rs 112.79 lakhs, but operating cash flow swung sharply negative to Rs -240.87 lakhs compared to a positive Rs 345.32 lakhs in H1 FY25. The statutory auditor, SD and Associates, issued a clean (unqualified) limited review report.
Sharp expense growth on flat revenue has compressed margins, and the steep swing in operating cash flow is a concern, though the balance sheet remains healthy with a long-term debt-to-equity ratio of 0.31 and reserves of over Rs 5,231 lakhs. Near-term sentiment may be cautious pending improvement in cash generation.
