Submission of Un-audited Financials Results for the Quarter ended 30th September, 2025.
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Vadilal Dairy International reported a sharp swing to loss in Q2 FY26, with standalone profit after tax at a loss of about Rs 253.92 lakhs compared to a profit of Rs 672.19 lakhs in the same quarter last year. For the first half of FY26, the company posted a standalone loss of Rs 204.01 lakhs, deeper than the Rs 97.57 lakhs loss in H1 FY25. Shareholders' equity has eroded sharply from Rs 592.85 lakhs at March 2025 to Rs 394.48 lakhs at September 2025, a drop of about 33% in just six months. Long-term borrowings have risen from Rs 938.32 lakhs to Rs 1,058.32 lakhs, and operating cash flow for H1 FY26 was negative at Rs 99.99 lakhs. The company notes its ice cream business is seasonal, so quarterly figures may not reflect the full-year picture.
The combination of widening losses, halving equity base, rising debt and negative operating cash flow raises concerns about near-term profitability and balance sheet strength in this small-cap dairy/ice cream maker. Investors should watch for signs of further losses or need for additional funding, which could weigh on the stock.
