Strategic Priorities and Management Commentary
The company's strategic priorities include expanding distribution footprint across Tier II and Tier III markets, scaling Melt N Mellow with focus on capacity utilisation targeting full utilization by Q1 FY29, and launching 25 Franchise Owned Company Operated (FOCO) Mellow & Co. ice cream parlors across Mumbai and Pune in FY27, with rollout planned from July–August. Management guided for approximately 50% top-line growth and 50%+ bottom-line growth in FY27. For the ice cream segment, EBITDA is expected to remain above 7% and progress toward 14%–15% at full capacity utilization, while PAT for the ice cream segment is expected to exceed 3% in FY27. The nuts segment is targeted to maintain 15%+ EBITDA and 10%+ PAT margins. The company continues to invest in R&D and product innovation, with Melt N Mellow holding the third highest number of SKUs among ice cream brands in India at 189+. Krishival Nuts sources directly from 9 countries including India, Ghana, USA, Guinea-Bissau, Cambodia, Indonesia, Benin, Ivory Coast, and Tanzania, providing diversified origins to mitigate price volatility. The company is also strengthening its export footprint across Singapore, the United States, and Japan.
Chairperson and Whole-Time Director Sujit Bangar commented: "FY26 has been a defining year for the Company, marked by strong execution across both business segments. A key highlight was the consolidation of profitability in the Nuts & Dry Fruits segment under Krishival Nuts, which achieved a healthy PAT margin of 10%. Simultaneously, the Ice Cream segment under Melt N Mellow demonstrated meaningful progress, attaining scale along with EBITDA profitability of 7%. During the year, the Company successfully completed a ₹100 crore Rights Issue. The proceeds are being strategically deployed towards capacity expansion, supply chain strengthening, and significant investments in cold-chain infrastructure, including a rapidly expanding freezer network. With strong visibility on capacity ramp-up, continued distribution expansion, and benefits of operating leverage, the management remains confident of delivering sustained high growth with progressive improvement in profitability over the medium term."
Rights Issue, Corporate Actions, and Regulatory Filings
The company successfully completed a ₹99.99 crore rights issue during FY26, with the first tranche of ₹35 crore received in January — of which ₹25 crore is earmarked for plant and machinery at the new Halkarni MIDC facility and ₹10 crore for working capital of the nuts division. The remaining ₹65 crore is to be received in two subsequent calls during the current calendar year. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹0.35 per equity share of face value ₹10 each for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing AGM. The statutory auditors, M/s. Tammana Parmar & Associates, issued an unmodified opinion on both standalone and consolidated financial results. The Q4 FY26 Earnings Conference Call was held on May 4, 2026 at 5:30 P.M. IST in virtual mode, with the audio recording and transcript both available on the company's website at www.krishival.com . The company confirmed that no unpublished price sensitive information was shared during the conference call. The full format of the standalone and consolidated results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026 are available on the websites of the stock exchanges and the company's website.
How will Krishival Foods manage working capital and margin pressures as the Melt N Mellow ice cream segment scales toward full capacity utilization by Q1 FY29, given the heavy capital requirements for cold-chain infrastructure and deep freezer deployment?
Can the 25 FOCO Mellow & Co. ice cream parlors planned for Mumbai and Pune in FY27 meaningfully differentiate Krishival Foods from established players like Amul and Havmor, and what unit economics are expected for the parlor format?
With the remaining ₹65 crore of the rights issue yet to be called, how might delays or shortfalls in subsequent tranches impact the Halkarni MIDC factory construction timeline and the targeted capacity ramp-up to 40 MT per day?
