Nile Limited reported a significant year-on-year decline in profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as rising operational costs and lower other income offset strong top-line growth. Standalone net profit fell 40.47% to ₹9.80 crore from ₹16.46 crore in Q1FY25, while consolidated net profit dropped 45.39% to ₹8.15 crore from ₹14.92 crore. The margin compression occurred despite standalone revenue from operations increasing 15.50% to ₹280.02 crore from ₹242.45 crore in the prior year period. EBITDA for the quarter stood at 106M Rupees, sharply lower than 222M Rupees in the year-ago period, with the EBITDA margin contracting to 3.8% from 9.1%.

What the Numbers Show
The divergence between revenue growth and profit decline highlights significant margin pressure in the current quarter. While revenue expanded by over 15%, standalone net profit contracted by more than 40%, and the EBITDA margin nearly halved to 3.8% from 9.1% year-on-year. This suggests that cost of materials consumed, which rose to ₹23,630.55 lakh from ₹18,189.08 lakh, outpaced the revenue gain. Additionally, other expenses increased significantly to ₹4,643.61 lakh from ₹3,658.49 lakh in the standalone figures. The company operates in Lead and Wind energy divisions, though segment reporting is not separately disclosed as the Wind Energy division does not meet the criteria for a reportable segment under Ind AS 108.
