Orient Paper & Industries reported revenue from operations of Rs. 238.34 crore for Q1 FY26 (June 30, 2025), essentially flat compared to Rs. 238.29 crore in Q1 FY25. The company posted a loss before tax of Rs. 17.85 crore, wider than the Rs. 9.96 crore loss in the year-ago quarter. However, reported profit after tax came in at Rs. 33.99 crore (vs a loss of Rs. 6.42 crore in Q1 FY25) because the company exercised the lower-tax Section 115BAA option, booking a one-time deferred tax credit of Rs. 48.49 crore. EPS was Rs. 1.60 for the quarter. The board also approved a Rs. 125 crore capital expenditure plan to add 8,500 TPA capacity and de-bottleneck its Amlai plant (current capacity 1,00,000 TPA at 93% utilization), to be completed in 24 months. The statutory auditor BSR & Co. LLP issued an unqualified limited review report.
Operating performance actually deteriorated YoY with a wider pre-tax loss, but the headline PAT swing to profit is driven entirely by a one-time tax credit and is not recurring. Investors should focus on underlying margin pressure rather than the reported PAT. The Rs. 125 crore capex signals confidence in volume growth but will add to depreciation and finance costs over the next two years.
