Sutlej Textiles filed its Q1 FY26 investor presentation on August 7, 2025, showing a weak quarter largely hurt by the India–Pakistan conflict that disrupted its Kathua (J&K) facility, which accounts for 50–55% of total capacity. Consolidated total income fell 11% year-on-year to Rs 610 crore, while EBITDA collapsed 95% to just Rs 1 crore (margin 0.2% vs 2.4% a year ago), and the company reported a net loss of Rs 30 crore compared to Rs 11 crore loss in Q1 FY25. The Yarn segment saw revenue drop to Rs 562 crore with an EBIT loss of Rs 15 crore and capacity utilisation falling to 84% (from 92% in Q4 FY25), and the Home Textiles segment also slipped into a Rs 10 crore EBIT loss on Rs 43 crore revenue. The Executive Chairman struck a cautiously optimistic tone for the rest of FY26, noting operations at Kathua resumed in July. Debt-to-equity remained comfortable at 0.95x with low working capital utilisation of 55%.
The presentation confirms a painful quarter with sharp margin compression and widening losses driven by an external geopolitical event that has now passed, so the near-term narrative is about recovery rather than structural trouble. For shareholders, watch capacity utilisation at Kathua and yarn spreads in coming quarters — the 'cautiously optimistic' commentary and stable balance sheet limit downside, but the stock may stay range-bound until EBITDA clearly rebounds from these depressed levels.
