West Coast Paper Mills has informed the exchanges about the newspaper publication of its Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) financial results, published in Business Standard (English) and Karavali Munjavu (Kannada). On a consolidated basis, total income from operations was ₹954.65 crore, marginally down from ₹960.34 crore in Q1 FY25. Net profit after tax fell sharply to ₹60.26 crore from ₹121.51 crore a year earlier, with EPS at ₹8.24 versus ₹17.24. On a standalone basis, revenue dropped to ₹555.86 crore (from ₹641.81 crore) and profit after tax to ₹41.05 crore (from ₹93.11 crore). The company also noted that on June 28, 2025 it received 2,72,66,484 7% Optionally Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd as part of a rights issue, raising its paid-up equity capital by ₹2.66 crore to ₹772.66 crore.
This is a routine regulatory filing confirming newspaper publication of already-disclosed Q1 numbers. The underlying results show a meaningful year-on-year decline in profitability, with consolidated PAT nearly halving despite stable revenue, which may weigh on near-term sentiment. The OCRPS investment in Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail is a long-term holding update and not material to near-term earnings.
