The company reported standalone revenue of Rs 11,763 lakhs (FY26) vs Rs 11,460 lakhs (FY25), a modest ~2.6% increase. However, standalone net profit fell sharply to Rs 243 lakhs from Rs 329 lakhs — a ~26% decline — reflecting pressure on margins. On a consolidated basis, net profit after minority interest collapsed to just Rs 44 lakhs from Rs 307 lakhs in the prior year, dragged down by the significant loss at subsidiary Mayabandar Doors Limited (Rs 206.64 lakhs loss for the year). The auditors drew an Emphasis of Matter noting that Mayabandar Doors suspended and closed its Mysore factory operations from 12.02.2026 due to operational and financial unviability, though management concluded no impairment is required. The subsidiary additionally recognized a Rs 39.92 lakh provision for employee benefit obligations arising from the termination of employees. Cash and cash equivalents dropped significantly from Rs 767 lakhs to Rs 119 lakhs on a standalone basis year-over-year. The board proposed a final dividend of Re. 1 per equity share.
The sharp profit decline despite stable revenue, combined with the subsidiary closure and going concern risk flagged by auditors, signals operational stress. Investors should monitor the Mayabandar Doors situation closely as the Rs 44 lakh consolidated net profit with a heavily loss-making subsidiary raises sustainability concerns.
