Morarka Finance Limited reported a standalone net profit of ₹13.61 lakh for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 (Q2FY27), marking an 88% decline compared to ₹112.06 lakh in the corresponding period last year.

The company’s total revenue from operations stood at ₹34.65 lakh in Q2FY27, down significantly from ₹161.64 lakh in Q2FY26. The drop in earnings was primarily driven by a sharp contraction in dividend income and interest income, which are the key contributors to the company’s top line.

Financial Performance Overview

For the six months ended September 30, 2026 (H1FY27), Morarka Finance clocked a net profit of ₹51.57 lakh, a decrease of 59% from ₹126.02 lakh in H1FY26. Total income for the half-year period was ₹92.83 lakh, reflecting a 51% decline year-on-year.

The following table details the key financial metrics for the quarter and half-year periods:

Metric Q2FY27 Q2FY26 Change (%) H1FY27 H1FY26 Change (%)
Total Revenue from Operations ₹34.65 lakh ₹161.64 lakh -78.5% ₹92.83 lakh ₹191.11 lakh -51.4%
Profit Before Tax ₹24.19 lakh ₹149.35 lakh -83.8% ₹69.88 lakh ₹164.01 lakh -57.4%
Net Profit ₹13.61 lakh ₹112.06 lakh -87.8% ₹51.57 lakh ₹126.02 lakh -59.1%
EPS (Basic) ₹0.30 ₹2.49 -87.9% ₹1.15 ₹2.80 -58.9%

Revenue Composition Analysis

Dividend income remained the largest component of revenue but fell sharply to ₹22.48 lakh in Q2FY27 from ₹135.81 lakh in Q2FY26. Interest income also contracted significantly, dropping to ₹0.23 lakh from ₹7.53 lakh in the previous year's quarter. Rental income and fees/commission income remained relatively stable at ₹3.88 lakh and ₹9.75 lakh respectively.

What the Numbers Show

A divergence between operating profitability and comprehensive income is evident in the latest results. While the company reported a positive net profit of ₹13.61 lakh, its Total Comprehensive Income was negative at (₹141.24) lakh. This disparity is driven by Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), which recorded a loss of (₹154.85) lakh due to fair value changes on investments not reclassified to profit or loss. This indicates that while the core P&L remains profitable, the mark-to-market valuation of the company’s investment portfolio has deteriorated significantly during the quarter.

Balance Sheet Position

As of September 30, 2026, the company’s total assets stood at ₹11,080.18 lakh, with investments constituting the bulk at ₹11,020.81 lakh. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to ₹3.42 lakh from ₹11.78 lakh as of March 31, 2026. The company’s equity base was reported at ₹11,015.30 lakh, comprising share capital of ₹450.21 lakh and other equity of ₹10,565.09 lakh.
