Malt Land Distilleries (formerly Abhijit Trading Co. Limited) has announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported a modest rise in top-line growth alongside a stable dividend payout.

Standalone revenue from operations stood at ₹10,367.04 lakh for Q1FY26, compared to ₹9,916.22 lakh in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Consolidated revenue was higher at ₹11,966.38 lakh, reflecting the group's broader operational scope.

Financial Highlights

The company’s profitability metrics showed mixed trends between standalone and consolidated figures. Standalone profit before tax rose to ₹460.03 lakh from ₹1,123.55 lakh in Q1FY25, while consolidated profit before tax increased significantly to ₹2,10.33 lakh from ₹1,951.18 lakh in the prior year period.

The Board of Directors declared a final dividend of ₹0.12 per equity share, representing a payout ratio of 1.20% of the face value. This marks a decrease from the ₹0.37 per share dividend declared in Q1FY25.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists between the standalone and consolidated performance metrics. While standalone revenue grew by approximately 4.5% year-on-year, consolidated revenue declined by roughly 24.4%, dropping from ₹15,840.66 lakh to ₹11,966.38 lakh. This suggests that the subsidiary or associate entities within the consolidated group experienced significant headwinds during the quarter, contrasting with the parent company's steady operational performance.

The financial results were published in compliance with Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The announcement was signed by Virendra Jain, Managing Director, on August 15, 2026.

Malt Land Distilleries has scheduled a meeting of its Board of Directors for August 7, 2026, to consider a significant structural change: the shifting of its registered office from one state to another.

This move may have implications for jurisdictional compliance and administrative operations, though specific details regarding the new location's strategic benefits were not disclosed in the intimation.

The meeting will be held at the company’s corporate office located at 47/18, Rajendra Place Metro Station, New Delhi-110060, Rajender Nagar, Central Delhi.
