Patel Retail Limited reported strong financial performance for FY 2025-26 with revenue from operations growing 27.7% to Rs 1,04,833 lakhs from Rs 82,069 lakhs in the previous year. Profit after tax surged 54.5% to Rs 3,905 lakhs from Rs 2,528 lakhs, with EPS improving to Rs 13.03 from Rs 10.15. However, EBITDA margin compressed from 7.9% to 7.1% due to increased depreciation and finance costs. Operating cash flow turned sharply negative at Rs -8,347 lakhs (vs Rs +2,772 lakhs previously) driven by significant buildup in inventories (Rs -11,588 lakhs) and trade receivables (Rs -4,186 lakhs). The company completed its IPO in August 2025 raising Rs 204.39 crore and has Rs 1,919 lakh still unutilized. Auditors gave an unmodified (clean) opinion, and lease liabilities increased substantially to Rs 10,903 lakhs due to Ind AS 116 reclassification.
Revenue and profit growth indicate strong operational performance, but the negative operating cash flow and high working capital investment raise concerns about cash conversion. Shareholders should monitor inventory management and receivables collection efficiency, especially as the company scales up post-IPO.
