• Approval of the shifting of the company's registered office within Mumbai, effective September 1, 2026.
• Finalization of the date, time, and venue for the AGM.
• Determination of the book closure period for the AGM.

The meeting is convened in compliance with Regulation 29 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Rajshree V. Chimbaikar, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, issued the intimation on August 31, 2026.

Corporate Governance Update

Mr. Paras Bhojani, who is eligible for re-appointment, will be considered for the role alongside other routine business items permitted by the chair. The approval of the draft notice for the AGM is also part of the agenda, ensuring alignment with statutory requirements for shareholder communication.

Parle Industries Limited reported a significant net loss for the first quarter of FY26, with standalone net loss standing at ₹6.29 crore and consolidated net loss at ₹6.28 crore. The results were heavily impacted by an exceptional item: a ₹6.50 crore write-down of inventory in the infrastructure division, which management determined had nil net realisable value due to its inclusion in government or public space property.

Despite the bottom-line hit, the company’s operational revenue showed substantial growth. Standalone revenue from operations rose to ₹605.00 lakh in Q1FY26, compared to ₹20.00 lakh in the same period last year. Consolidated revenue from operations increased to ₹607.68 lakh, up from ₹24.30 lakh year-on-year. This surge was primarily attributed to the Infrastructure & Real Estate segment, which contributed the entirety of the operational revenue.

Financial Performance

The company’s earnings per share (EPS) turned negative, with basic EPS at (₹2.40) for both standalone and consolidated figures, compared to positive EPS of ₹0.02 in Q1FY25. Before tax and exceptional items, the company posted a standalone profit of ₹20.45 lakh, up from ₹3.54 lakh in the prior year quarter. However, the exceptional charge reversed this operational gain into a pre-tax loss of (₹629.55 lakh).

On a consolidated basis, profit before tax and exceptional items stood at ₹21.56 lakh, compared to ₹5.18 lakh in Q1FY25. The consolidated exceptional item also amounted to ₹650.00 lakh, leading to a pre-tax loss of (₹628.44 lakh).

What the Numbers Show

A key divergence in the financials is between the operational profitability and the final net result. The company generated a modest operational profit before tax (₹20.45 lakh standalone), indicating that core business activities were profitable. However, this was entirely overshadowed by the non-recurring ₹650.00 lakh exceptional charge. This suggests that while revenue generation improved significantly, the underlying asset quality in the infrastructure segment faced valuation pressures, necessitating the full write-off.

Segment and Balance Sheet Updates

The Infrastructure & Real Estate segment remains the primary revenue driver, contributing ₹605.00 lakh in standalone segment revenue. The Paper Waste Recycling segment reported no revenue for the quarter.

Total capital employed decreased slightly to ₹11,004.64 lakh as of June 30, 2026, from ₹11,632.28 lakh at the end of FY25. The unallocable portion of capital employed remained the largest component at ₹9,262.90 lakh.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The independent auditor’s review report highlighted ongoing arbitration proceedings related to share swap transactions with Welldone Integrated Services Private Limited (WISPL) and Marvelous Vickyfoods Private Limited (MVPL). The company has derecognised investments aggregating to ₹81.54 crore from "Investments in Subsidiaries" and reclassified them under "Other Current Assets" pending final adjudication. Consequently, WISPL and MVPL have not been consolidated in the current statement.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results at its meeting held on August 12, 2026. The results have been reviewed by A R C K & Co., the company’s statutory auditors.
