Ramkrishna Forgings reported audited standalone financials for FY2025-26 with revenue from operations at Rs 3,77,389.43 lakhs, up 3.85% from Rs 3,63,429.92 lakhs in the previous year. However, profit after tax (PAT) dropped significantly to Rs 8,650.53 lakhs from Rs 40,182.01 lakhs, a decline of about 78%. The PAT decline was primarily due to exceptional items including Rs 4,204.84 lakhs provision for expected credit losses on trade receivables due to geopolitical disruptions, Rs 969.27 lakhs labour code impact, and Rs 4,176.40 lakhs excess electricity duty provision. The company declared a 1st interim dividend of Rs 1 per equity share (face value Rs 2). Two independent directors - Mr. Sandipan Chakravortty and Mr. Partha Sarathi Bhattacharyya - ceased to hold office upon completion of their second term on May 20, 2026. Mr. Naresh Jalan was reappointed as Managing Director for 3 years. The auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the financial statements.
The sharp PAT decline despite modest revenue growth raises concerns about profitability and working capital management. However, the clean audit opinion and continued dividend payout may provide some comfort to investors. The ECL provisioning for export receivables suggests potential weakness in overseas business due to geopolitical factors.
