Universal Cables Limited reported strong Q1 FY26 results with standalone revenue from operations rising to ₹60,019 lakhs from ₹48,870 lakhs in Q1 FY25, a growth of about 23%. Standalone profit after tax jumped sharply to ₹1,949.85 lakhs from ₹166.77 lakhs, translating to an EPS of ₹5.62 versus ₹0.48. On a consolidated basis, PAT stood at ₹3,291.33 lakhs (up from ₹559.19 lakhs), boosted by a share of profits from associate Vindhya Telelinks and joint venture BFFOPL. The board also approved a back-to-back corporate guarantee of USD 11.3 million (about ₹94 crore) in favour of Lightera, LLC, USA, to support its joint venture BFFOPL's import of preforms from Shin-Etsu, Japan. The statutory auditor (BGJC & Associates LLP) issued an unmodified review report, but included an Emphasis of Matter on the consolidated results related to three non-banking subsidiaries of associate VTL whose books are not available due to unauthorized possession by ex-directors.
Strong quarter with robust revenue and profit growth signals improving operational performance and a turnaround from the weak base quarter; however, the new USD 11.3 million corporate guarantee adds a contingent liability exposure for shareholders. The Emphasis of Matter around VTL's subsidiaries is a minor governance flag but does not modify the auditor's conclusion.
