Financial Performance Highlights

The company’s Board of Directors approved the standalone and consolidated unaudited financial results on August 8, 2026. The results were reviewed by PSCA & Co., Chartered Accountants, who issued a limited review report with an unmodified opinion under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between top-line growth and profitability metrics highlights cost pressures within the business. While revenue surged by 21.8%, net profit grew at a slower pace of 12.2%. This gap is further underscored by the contraction in EBITDA margins, which fell by 234 basis points despite a 12.1% increase in absolute EBITDA. This suggests that input costs or operational expenses expanded disproportionately relative to sales volume during the quarter.

In a significant governance move, the Board appointed Mr. Hiteshbhai Manubhai Patel (DIN: 11866196) as an Additional Director and Whole-Time Director (Key Managerial Personnel) effective August 8, 2026.
