Arex Industries reported a net profit of ₹880.78 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), compared to a net loss of ₹24.69 lakh in the same period last year. The dramatic turnaround was driven by a one-time exceptional gain of ₹954 lakh from the maturity of a keyman insurance policy, rather than operational performance. Revenue from operations rose 26.8% year-on-year to ₹1,428.42 lakh, reflecting steady top-line growth amidst the non-recurring income spike.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results during its meeting held on July 29, 2026. The statutory auditors, Sweta Patel & Associates, conducted a limited review of the standalone financial results in accordance with Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410. The company also fixed the book closure dates for the final dividend from September 17, 2026, to September 23, 2026, with September 16, 2026, as the record date.

Financial Performance

Operational profitability remained subdued despite the revenue increase. Profit before tax from ordinary operations stood at ₹224.31 lakh, up significantly from ₹34.08 lakh in Q1FY26. However, the inclusion of the ₹954 lakh exceptional item pushed the total profit before tax to ₹1,178.31 lakh. After accounting for tax expenses of ₹297.53 lakh, the net profit for the period reached ₹880.78 lakh. Earnings per share (basic) were ₹24.47, compared to ₹0.69 in the previous year’s corresponding quarter.

What the Numbers Show

The financial data reveals a stark divergence between operational health and bottom-line reporting. While revenue growth of nearly 27% indicates strong demand or pricing power, the core operating profit margin remains thin. The net profit figure is heavily distorted by the ₹954 lakh insurance maturity proceeds, which accounted for approximately 81% of the total profit before tax. Investors should note that this is a non-recurring event unrelated to ordinary business activities, meaning the sustainable earnings power of the company is better reflected in the ₹224.31 lakh ordinary profit before tax.

Corporate Actions

The Board also approved the re-appointment of Mr. Aviv Divekar as a Non-Executive Independent Director for a second and final term of five years, effective from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2031, subject to shareholder approval. The company will hold its 37th Annual General Meeting on September 23, 2026, via video conferencing. Remote e-voting will be available from September 20, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. IST to September 22, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. IST.
