Kusumgar Limited has released the audio recording of its earnings conference call, which was held on August 14, 2026. The discussion covered the company's unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The recording is accessible on the company's official website. This disclosure was made in compliance with Regulation 30 and Regulation 46 read with Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Devanand Parshottam Mojidra, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, confirmed the release of the audio file. The filing was digitally signed on August 14, 2026.

Kusumgar Limited reported consolidated revenue of ₹2,472 million for Q1FY27, marking a 102% year-on-year increase driven by the execution ramp-up of finished parachutes contracts. While the quarter saw a sequential decline from ₹3,128 million in Q4FY26 due to one-off high export shipments post-Trump tariff resolution, management expects quarterly revenue to normalize progressively. Consolidated net profit rose sharply to ₹426 million from ₹66 million in the prior year period, with EBITDA margin expanding to 31.1% from 22.0% in Q1FY26.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on August 11, 2026. Statutory auditors M S K A & Associates LLP issued an unmodified review report. The filing was made pursuant to Regulations 30 and 33(3) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This marks the company's first quarterly disclosure as a listed entity on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited, following its listing on July 15, 2026.

Financial Performance

The table below presents the consolidated financial highlights for the quarter:

On a standalone basis, Kusumgar reported net profit of ₹418.61 million, up 9.5x from ₹42.55 million in Q1FY26. Standalone revenue surged 93.6% to ₹2,419.12 million. Other income declined significantly to ₹16.74 million from ₹39.95 million in the prior year period.

Business Segments and Strategy

Kusumgar’s majority business originates from the aerospace and defence segment, with growing diversification into automotive and activewear sectors. The company leverages its expertise in polyamides, polyester filaments, and polyurethane chemistry to manufacture engineered fabrics requiring critical performance parameters such as tensile strength and abrasion resistance.

Key offerings include:

• Aerospace & Defence: Cargo drop parachutes, tactical assault systems, stealth camouflage nets, and cold weather clothing.
• Automotive & Outdoor: Activewear, luggage fabrics, mechanical rubber goods, and inflatable fabrics.

Management noted that capacity utilization is trending upward across its six manufacturing facilities in India, supporting operating leverage. The company is also strengthening its new product development pipeline to de-risk revenue concentration and build medium-term resilience.

What the Numbers Show

The dramatic profit expansion reflects strong operational leverage rather than one-time gains. While other income declined 65% to ₹14 million, core operating profitability expanded disproportionately to revenue growth. The EBITDA margin improvement of approximately 9 percentage points year-on-year indicates improved margin efficiency in the technical textile fabrics segment. Although margins moderated sequentially from 41.1% in Q4FY26 due to lower operating leverage as revenue normalized off an elevated base, the year-on-year trend remains robust, signaling effective cost management despite a 117% rise in material costs.
