Orient Press Ltd reported audited standalone financial results for FY 2025-26. Total income for the year was Rs 255.14 lakh (vs Rs 235.03 lakh in FY 2024-25), showing a modest 9% increase. However, profit after tax dropped significantly to Rs 52.77 lakh from Rs 200.85 lakh in the prior year, a decline of about 74%. For Q4 FY26, the company reported exceptional items loss of Rs 317.13 lakh and loss from discontinued operations of Rs 279.63 lakh, resulting in a net loss of Rs 357.98 lakh for the quarter. Basic EPS for Q4 FY26 stood at Rs -209.15 per share, compared to Rs 29.95 in Q4 FY25. The board meeting was held on May 28, 2026, and the results were published in Free Press Journal and Navshakti newspapers on May 30, 2026.
The sharp decline in profitability is primarily due to exceptional items and discontinued operations, which raises concerns about the company's operational efficiency and business restructuring. Investors should closely monitor the company's next quarterly updates to assess if this is a one-time event or a continuing trend.
