Foods & Inns has notified stock exchanges that its Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will be closed from September 21, 2026, through September 28, 2026, both days inclusive. This book closure period is essential for determining shareholder eligibility for the company’s 54th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and for receiving the declared dividend. Investors holding equity shares as of the record date will be entitled to vote at the meeting and receive the dividend payout, while transfers during this window will be suspended.

The 54th AGM is scheduled to take place on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 4:00 P.M. The closure ensures a static list of shareholders for voting purposes and accurate dividend disbursement. Milan Dalal, Managing Director of Foods & Inns, issued the intimation to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) on August 11, 2026.

Key Dates and Details

The record date is fixed at September 21, 2026. Shareholders who hold equity shares in their demat accounts or physical form on this date will be considered eligible members for the AGM and dividend rights. The share transfer books will remain closed throughout this period to prevent any changes in ownership that could complicate the voting and payment processes.

What This Means for Shareholders

For investors looking to participate in the AGM or receive the dividend, holding the shares on the record date is critical. Those wishing to sell their shares should note that transactions executed after the record date may not confer voting or dividend rights to the buyer if the transfer is not processed before the closure begins. Conversely, new buyers acquiring shares before the closure ends but after the record date will not be eligible for this specific dividend or AGM vote.

The company’s scrip code on BSE is 507552, and its symbol on NSE is FOODSIN. The notification was signed by Milan Dalal, whose DIN is 00062453, confirming the procedural compliance with exchange regulations regarding member register closures.

Foods & Inns Ltd reported a sharp contraction in its first-quarter FY27 financials, with standalone revenue from operations falling 34% year-on-year to ₹152.38 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The decline was primarily driven by significant headwinds in the export segment due to freight and container availability issues linked to ongoing geopolitical conflicts, alongside lower average realizations reflecting reduced raw material costs from the 2025 crop season. Standalone net profit after tax (PAT) decreased 45% to ₹4.18 crore, down from ₹7.63 crore in the same period last year.

The Board of Directors, chaired by Managing Director Milan Dalal, approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results during a meeting held on August 11, 2026. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by statutory auditors G.M. Kapadia & Co., as per Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company also announced that its 54th Annual General Meeting will be held on September 28, 2026, via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means (VC/OAVM).

Financial Performance Overview

Standalone revenue from operations stood at ₹15,237.62 lakh in Q1FY27, compared to ₹23,157.88 lakh in Q1FY26. Total income declined to ₹15,494.30 lakh from ₹23,491.08 lakh. Despite the revenue drop, cost management efforts helped contain expenses, though cost of materials consumed remained high at ₹17,914.79 lakh. Profit before tax fell to ₹6.11 crore from ₹10.76 crore. Consolidated revenue from operations was ₹157.49 crore, with consolidated PAT at ₹3.83 crore.

Segment-Wise Business Commentary

The company highlighted divergent performance across its business verticals. Sales tonnage dropped 30.5% to 20,836 MT, with domestic sales volume declining 37% while exports grew 8.3% in volume terms despite logistical delays. Approximately 1,800 MT of finished goods remain overdue for shipment. However, specific segments showed resilience:

• Frozen Food: Witnessed growth with volumes up ~10% and value up ~19.5% YoY, driven by higher contribution from value-added products and growing demand from the US market.
• Spray Dried Powders: Recorded a 22% growth in volumes.
• Kusum Spices: The spice business grew by 14.7% YoY, with Q1FY27 sales reaching ₹5.53 crore against ₹4.80 crore in Q1FY26.
• Tetra Recart: Continued expansion in international presence with repeat business indicating growing acceptance.

Conversely, the fruit and vegetable pulps segment faced challenges. Mango crop prices were lower than the previous procurement season, leading to continued low realizations. Additionally, the company was unable to execute canned tomato products against confirmed orders due to poor quality of raw materials.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between export volume growth (8.3%) and overall revenue decline highlights the severe impact of pricing pressures and inventory realization dynamics. The company noted that average realizations declined by approximately 18.5% YoY, reflecting the sale of inventory manufactured during the 2025 crop season when raw material costs were substantially lower. This suggests that current profitability is heavily influenced by past input costs rather than current operational efficiency alone. Furthermore, the strong performance in frozen foods and spices contrasts sharply with the weakness in traditional export categories, signaling a potential shift in demand patterns or product mix effectiveness.

Corporate Actions and Compliance

In addition to the financial results, the Board approved the Integrated Filing (Financial) for Q1FY27 as per SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CFD-PoD-2/CIR/P/2024/185 dated December 31, 2024. The cut-off date for remote e-voting in the upcoming AGM is Monday, September 21, 2026. The company’s total financial indebtedness as of June 30, 2026, stood at ₹469.17 crore, with no defaults on loans or debt securities.
