Rajputana Investment & Finance Limited reported a return to profitability in the first quarter of FY27, posting a net profit of ₹1.15 lakh compared to a loss of ₹1.56 lakh in the same quarter of FY25. The company’s revenue from operations expanded by 59% year-on-year to ₹143.37 lakh, reflecting stronger operational activity in its pre-owned luxury car business.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, on August 12, 2026. The figures were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by statutory auditors Ayyar & Cherian, who issued an unqualified review conclusion.

Financial Performance

Income from operations stood at ₹143.37 lakh in Q1FY27, up from ₹90.10 lakh in Q1FY25. Total expenses increased to ₹149.29 lakh from ₹99.14 lakh in the prior year period, primarily due to higher purchases of stock-in-trade which rose to ₹169.46 lakh from ₹104.71 lakh.

Earnings per share (basic) were ₹0.04, compared to a loss per share of ₹0.05 in the previous year. The operating margin was recorded at 0.87%, while the net profit margin stood at 0.01%.

What the Numbers Show

The turnaround in profitability was driven by operational efficiency despite higher absolute costs. While purchases of stock-in-trade surged by 64% to ₹169.46 lakh, the company benefited from a favorable change in inventories of stock-in-trade, which reduced total expenses by ₹38.12 lakh. This inventory adjustment offset the rise in procurement costs, allowing the company to generate a profit before tax of ₹1.56 lakh against a loss of ₹1.56 lakh in the prior year.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As per the disclosures under Regulation 52(4) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, the company’s net worth stood at ₹407.63 lakh. The current ratio was healthy at 8.78, indicating strong short-term liquidity. The debt-to-total assets ratio remained nil, suggesting the company operates without significant long-term debt obligations.
