Forbes & Company Limited reported a 23% year-on-year increase in standalone net profit after tax to ₹3.07 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to ₹2.50 crore in the same period last year. The profit growth occurred despite a 38% contraction in total income from operations, which fell to ₹16.06 crore from ₹25.85 crore in Q1FY26.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on August 14, 2026. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by statutory auditors.

Financial Performance

Standalone net profit before tax stood at ₹3.46 crore, up from ₹4.53 crore in Q1FY25. Consolidated net profit after tax rose 5% to ₹3.60 crore, recovering from a loss of ₹1.97 crore in the preceding quarter (Q4FY26).

Consolidated total income declined 39% to ₹16.63 crore from ₹27.37 crore in the prior year period. Basic earnings per share (EPS) for the standalone entity dropped to ₹2.38 from ₹3.08.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between falling revenue and rising profit indicates significant operational leverage or cost control measures during the quarter. While top-line revenue contracted sharply by nearly 40%, bottom-line profitability expanded by nearly a quarter, suggesting that fixed costs or operating expenses decreased at a faster rate than income.

Paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹12.90 crore. Other equity excluding revaluation reserve stood at ₹147.91 crore for the standalone entity and ₹186.46 crore for the consolidated group as of March 31, 2026.
