VLS Finance Limited reported annual results for FY ended March 2026 with a clean (unmodified) audit opinion from Agiwal & Associates. Standalone PAT declined to Rs 1,982.03 lakhs from Rs 4,532.76 lakhs in prior year (~56% fall), driven by significantly lower net gain on fair value changes (Rs 376.17 lakhs vs Rs 7,254.36 lakhs). Consolidated PAT stood at Rs 2,175.06 lakhs vs Rs 4,620.44 lakhs. Total income (standalone) fell to Rs 4,321.76 lakhs from Rs 10,362.32 lakhs. The company completed a Rs 100 crore share buyback in December 2025 at Rs 380 per share, reducing equity capital. Cash and cash equivalents dropped sharply from Rs 29,439 lakhs to Rs 5,596 lakhs (standalone). Operating cash flow turned negative at Rs -1,462 lakhs (standalone) versus positive Rs 17,250 lakhs in prior year. The Board recommended a dividend of 15% (Rs 1.50 per share). Additionally, the company approved writing off Rs 9.69 lakhs from a subsidiary and appointed Grant Thornton Bharat LLP as new Internal Auditor for FY 2026-27.
PAT fell over 50% year-on-year, and operating cash flow turned negative primarily due to lower fair value gains and heavy cash outflows from buyback and dividends. While cash reserves remain comfortable at Rs 5,596 lakhs, the sharp decline in profitability and negative operating cashflow are concerns for shareholders.
