Link Pharma Chem Limited returned to profitability in Q1FY26, reporting a net profit of ₹31.83 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reversing a net loss of ₹40.86 crore in the preceding quarter. The company’s revenue from operations rose 12.2% year-on-year to ₹876.84 crore, driven by higher operational income and significant gains from other sources. This turnaround marks a strong start to FY26, with pre-tax profits reaching ₹38.87 crore against a loss of ₹49.00 crore in Q4FY25.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results at a meeting held on August 5, 2026. Pursuant to Regulation 47(3) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, Link Pharma Chem published extracts of its financial results in Business Standard (English edition) and Loksatta (Gujarati edition) on August 6, 2026. The results were reviewed by statutory auditors CNK & Associates LLP under Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410.

Financial Performance Highlights

Total income for the quarter reached ₹911.73 crore, supported by both operational revenue and other income. Other income surged to ₹34.89 crore from ₹20.92 crore in Q1FY25, largely due to fair value gains on financial assets. Total expenses increased to ₹872.86 crore from ₹751.43 crore in the corresponding period last year, primarily due to higher material costs and inventory changes.

What the Numbers Show

A key driver of the current quarter’s profitability was the composition of other income. Under Ind AS 109, the company values its investments at market prices, with fair value gains accounted for in other income. In Q1FY26, fair value net gains on financial assets designated at FVTPL amounted to ₹18.47 crore, compared to a loss of ₹2.86 crore in the previous quarter. Excluding these fair value adjustments, "adjusted other income" stood at ₹16.42 crore, a sharp increase from ₹1.96 crore in Q1FY25. This indicates that while operational revenues grew steadily, a substantial portion of the quarter’s income boost came from investment revaluations rather than core operating margins alone.

Earnings per share (EPS) improved to ₹0.72 from a negative ₹0.92 in the prior quarter. For the full fiscal year FY25, the company had reported a net profit of ₹7.69 crore on revenues of ₹2,743.15 crore. The current quarter’s results suggest a stronger start to FY26, though investors should note the volatility in other income components linked to market valuations.
