The company operates three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and serves customers in over 50 countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East.

Ester Industries reported a consolidated net profit of ₹1,861.82 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a significant turnaround from a net loss of ₹715.51 lakh in Q1FY26. The company’s standalone net profit also grew by 50.5% to ₹1,450.64 lakh, up from ₹963.64 lakh in the corresponding period last year. This improvement underscores strong operational leverage in its core polyester business, which drove top-line expansion despite a contraction in the speciality polymers segment.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results at its meeting held on August 11, 2026. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and comply with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Walker Chandiok & Co LLP, the statutory auditors, issued the limited review report on both standalone and consolidated financial statements.

What the Numbers Show

The significant improvement in consolidated profitability — moving from a loss to a profit of ₹1,861.82 lakh — highlights the operational leverage gained in the core polyester business. While the Speciality polymers segment experienced a revenue contraction, the robust growth in the Polyester chips and film segment more than compensated, driving overall top-line and bottom-line expansion. The rise in other income also provided a notable boost to the standalone bottom line.

Corporate Actions

During the quarter, the company allotted 6,708,851 equity shares at an issue price of ₹158 per share following the conversion of fully convertible warrants. This increased the paid-up equity share capital from ₹4,879.31 lakh to ₹5,214.75 lakh. An amount of ₹325 lakh received against unexercised warrants was forfeited. The Board also recommended a final dividend of ₹0.25 per equity share for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at the 40th Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 24, 2026.
