Olympic Cards reported a standalone net loss of ₹106.66 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), compared to a net loss of ₹102.21 lakh in the same period last year. The company’s revenue from operations rose 16.4% year-on-year to ₹251.84 lakh, up from ₹216.43 lakh in Q1FY26.
The widening loss occurred despite top-line growth, driven primarily by a significant increase in changes in inventories of stock in trade, which rose to ₹212.58 lakh from ₹134.78 lakh in the prior year quarter. Finance costs also contributed to the pressure on margins, standing at ₹32.16 lakh against ₹38.38 lakh in Q1FY26, while depreciation expenses increased to ₹41.11 lakh from ₹31.33 lakh.

For the full financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26), the company posted a net loss of ₹25.94 lakh, a significant improvement from the ₹439.06 lakh loss recorded in FY25. Annual revenue for FY26 stood at ₹1,043.50 lakh, up from ₹940.89 lakh in FY25.
What the Numbers Show
A notable divergence in the quarterly results is the absence of other income in Q1FY27, which stood at ₹0.00 lakh compared to ₹0.46 lakh in Q1FY26 and a substantial ₹232.92 lakh in FY26. This indicates that the previous year’s bottom-line improvement was partly supported by non-operating gains that did not recur in the current quarter, leaving the core operational losses more pronounced.
