TCPL Packaging posted Q1 FY26 consolidated revenue of Rs. 424.7 crore, up 4.7% year-on-year, with EBITDA at Rs. 72.6 crore and margins largely stable at 17.1% (down 51 basis points). However, profit after tax fell sharply by 29.7% to Rs. 22.3 crore, and EPS dropped to Rs. 24.5 from Rs. 34.9, mainly because of a Rs. 10.63 crore foreign exchange loss on Euro-denominated term loans. Standalone results showed a similar pattern, with revenue up 4.8% to Rs. 409.5 crore and PAT down 28.8% to Rs. 22.8 crore. Management cited softer domestic demand and international market headwinds, while highlighting stable early performance at the new Chennai greenfield plant. For context, FY25 was a strong year with consolidated PAT up 41.1% to Rs. 143 crore on 14.8% revenue growth.
The sharp drop in profits, largely driven by a one-time forex loss rather than weak operations, may weigh on the stock in the near term, but steady margins and revenue growth suggest the core business remains healthy. Investors should watch the ramp-up of the Chennai plant and any demand recovery for signs of a stronger second half.
