Kriti Nutrients reported a standalone net profit of ₹9.06 crore for the first quarter of FY27 (Q1FY27), marking a slight 1.6% decline from ₹9.21 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The dip in profitability occurred despite a robust 7.9% year-on-year growth in revenue from operations, which rose to ₹247.08 crore, indicating stable demand in its core oil seed extraction and refining segment. However, rising input costs and increased finance expenses eroded margins, highlighting operational pressure in the current quarter.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on August 11, 2026, during a meeting held at its corporate office in Indore. The statutory auditors, M Mehta & Company, issued a limited review report confirming that the results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and SEBI Listing Regulations. The consolidated net profit stood at ₹8.92 crore, lower than the standalone figure due to a share in the loss of its associate, Kriti Industries (India) Limited, which reported a loss of ₹13.80 lakh for the quarter, contrasting with a profit contribution of ₹28.13 lakh in Q1FY26.

Financial Performance Highlights

Revenue from operations increased to ₹24,707.76 lakh from ₹22,904.04 lakh in Q1FY26. Other income declined slightly to ₹167.35 lakh from ₹204.73 lakh in the prior year period. Total expenses rose to ₹23,702.58 lakh from ₹21,922.42 lakh, primarily driven by an increase in cost of materials consumed, which stood at ₹20,107.84 lakh compared to ₹19,603.22 lakh last year. Purchases of stock-in-trade also saw a significant jump to ₹1,819.56 lakh from ₹1,123.96 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and profit decline highlights margin pressure in the current quarter. While revenue expanded by nearly 8%, profit before tax contracted slightly. This was largely attributable to rising input costs; material consumption costs increased by approximately 2.6%, outpacing the growth in operating revenue. Additionally, employee benefits expense remained relatively flat at ₹414.25 lakh, while finance costs more than doubled to ₹23.81 lakh from ₹11.54 lakh in the same period last year. The company operates in a single business segment—Oil Seed Extraction and Refining—as per Ind AS 108. The paid-up equity share capital remains unchanged at ₹5.01 crore.
