Century Extrusions reported a net profit of ₹3.77 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, representing a 60% year-on-year (YoY) increase from ₹2.36 crore in Q1FY25. The company’s revenue from operations grew 33% YoY to ₹138.36 crore, up from ₹104.15 crore in the corresponding period last year.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone financial results on August 14, 2026. Statutory auditors carried out a limited review of the results. The company operates in two segments: manufacturing of aluminium extruded products and transmission and distribution line equipment.

Financial Performance

Revenue growth was accompanied by a rise in cost of materials consumed, which increased to ₹122.62 crore from ₹80.06 crore in Q1FY25. However, changes in inventories provided a buffer, with a reduction of ₹14.12 crore compared to ₹1.70 crore in the prior year quarter.

Other income declined to ₹13 lakh from ₹6 lakh in the previous year quarter but remained minimal relative to total income. Finance costs rose to ₹37.0 lakh from ₹26.7 lakh, while employee benefits expense increased to ₹54.4 lakh from ₹49.5 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and profit expansion highlights the impact of inventory management on margins. While material costs rose sharply alongside revenue, the significant reduction in inventory levels (₹14.12 crore vs ₹1.70 crore YoY) contributed positively to the bottom line. This suggests that the company may have drawn down existing stock rather than proportionally increasing raw material purchases for the current production cycle, temporarily boosting profitability despite higher input costs.

Century Extrusions Limited reported a 10.97% rise in sales turnover to ₹47,856 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, driven by stable production volumes and improved operational efficiency. Profit After Tax (PAT) increased to ₹1,097 lakh from ₹994 lakh in FY25, while Profit Before Tax (PBT) improved to ₹1,511 lakh from ₹1,281 lakh. The company’s Board of Directors has recommended retaining earnings to fund capital requirements and support future growth, resulting in no dividend declaration for the year. Shareholders are advised that the Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from August 8, 2026, to August 14, 2026.

The company will convene its 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 10:30 A.M. IST via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means (VC/OAVM). In compliance with Regulation 30 and Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the Notice of the 38th AGM and the Annual Report for FY26 were dispatched via email to registered members on July 22, 2026.

Financial Performance

Century Extrusions’ net revenue from operations for FY26 stood at ₹47,930 lakh, up from ₹43,195 lakh in FY25. The return on capital employed improved to 17.24% from 16.54%, reflecting better asset utilization. The current ratio remained healthy at 1.36, indicating sufficient short-term liquidity, while the debt-equity ratio stood at 0.75 as of March 31, 2026. Operating profit (EBITDA) was marginally higher at ₹2,663 lakh compared to ₹2,661 lakh in the prior year.

Operational Highlights

The company’s production of aluminium extrusions remained relatively stable at 13,325 MT compared to 13,433 MT in the previous financial year. Despite the slight dip in volume, revenue growth suggests potential improvements in average selling prices or product mix. The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS).
