Gautam Exim reported a 66.5% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹22.17 lakh for FY26, even as revenue from operations fell 19.8% to ₹2880.91 lakh. The company scheduled its 21st Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 30, 2026.

The Board of Directors approved the annual report and financial results during a meeting held on August 30, 2026. The meeting was conducted via video conferencing at the registered office in Vapi, Gujarat.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations declined to ₹2880.91 lakh in FY26, compared to ₹3530.81 lakh in FY25. Total expenses decreased by 20.3% to ₹2851.14 lakh. Despite the lower top line, EBITDA grew by 34.3% to ₹76 lakh (₹0.76 crore), and profit before tax rose by 87.2% to ₹30 lakh (₹0.30 crore).

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue decline and profit growth highlights significant margin expansion. EBITDA margin improved to 4.34% from 2.06% in the previous year. This operational efficiency offset the volume contraction, resulting in a net profit margin rise to 0.76% from 0.36%. Other income dropped sharply to ₹0.19 lakh from ₹61.36 lakh in FY25, indicating that the profit growth was driven by core operational margins rather than non-operating gains.

Key Governance Updates

The Board approved several critical governance matters:

• Appointment of CS Varun Bhomia as the independent scrutinizer for the AGM voting process.
• Approval of M/s SASA & Associates as Statutory Auditors to fill the casual vacancy caused by the resignation of M/s B.A. Desai & Associates.
• Change in designation of Mr. Parmeshwar Ojha from Whole-time Director to Non-Executive Director, effective August 12, 2026.
• Re-appointment of Mrs. Varsha Agrawal, who retires by rotation.

Capital Structure Changes

During FY26, the company issued 1.85 crore equity shares as fully paid-up bonus shares in the ratio of 3:1. The paid-up equity share capital increased from ₹3.08 crore to ₹12.32 crore. Additionally, the face value of equity shares was sub-divided from ₹10 to ₹5 each to enhance liquidity.
