Euro Leder Fashion reported a net profit of ₹1.25 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a significant decline from the ₹5.22 lakh profit recorded in the corresponding period of FY25. The Chennai-based leather goods manufacturer saw its net sales fall 28% year-on-year to ₹690.73 lakh, down from ₹539.04 lakh in Q1FY25.
Despite the revenue contraction, total expenses increased by 18% to ₹693.82 lakh, up from ₹587.59 lakh in the prior year quarter. This divergence between falling top-line growth and rising cost structures compressed the operating margin significantly. The company’s profit before tax stood at ₹6.73 lakh, compared to ₹7.65 lakh in Q1FY25.
Financial Performance
The decline in profitability was driven by higher material and employee costs, alongside a reduction in inventory benefits. Key financial metrics for the quarter are detailed below:
| Metric: | Q1FY26 (₹ lakh): | Q1FY25 (₹ lakh): | Change: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net Sales: | 690.73 | 539.04 | -28.1% |
| Total Income: | 700.55 | 595.24 | +17.7% |
| Total Expenses: | 693.82 | 587.59 | +18.1% |
| Profit Before Tax: | 6.73 | 7.65 | -12.0% |
| Net Profit After Tax: | 1.25 | 5.22 | -76.1% |
Other income dropped sharply to ₹9.83 lakh from ₹56.20 lakh in the previous year quarter, contributing to the overall income pressure. However, this was partially offset by a decrease in inventory changes, which showed a benefit of ₹19.39 lakh compared to a benefit of ₹68.70 lakh in Q1FY25.
Board Changes
In corporate developments, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Mrs K Ashitha as an Independent Director with effect from August 7, 2026. She ceased to be a member of the Audit Committee, Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and Stakeholders Relationship Committee on the same date. The resignation was attributed to personal commitments.
What the Numbers Show
A notable observation is the disconnect between revenue decline and expense growth. While net sales fell nearly 28%, total expenses rose 18%. Specifically, "Other Expenditure" surged to ₹288.54 lakh from ₹133.80 lakh in Q1FY25, more than doubling despite lower operational volume. This suggests fixed or semi-fixed cost pressures that did not scale down with reduced sales activity.
The unaudited financial results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board at its meeting held on August 12, 2026. The statutory auditors, Darpan & Associates, conducted a limited review of the results.
