Satia Industries Q1FY27 net loss widens to ₹1,712 lakh on tax charge
Satia Industries posted a Q1FY27 net loss of ₹1,712 lakh, a sharp reversal from the ₹3,160 lakh profit in Q1FY26. The loss stems largely from a ₹3,933 lakh deferred tax charge linked to the new concessional tax regime, masking stable pre-tax profits of ₹2,912 lakh. Revenue declined 2.45% YoY to ₹36,181 lakh due to the planned shutdown of Paper Machine 3 for refurbishment.

Satia Industries reported a net loss of ₹1,712.00 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reversing a net profit of ₹3,160.31 lakh in the corresponding period of FY26. The deterioration in profitability was primarily driven by a significant one-time, non-cash deferred tax charge rather than operational performance.
Revenue from operations contracted by 2.45% year-on-year to ₹36,181.47 lakh, down from ₹37,092.07 lakh in Q1FY26. This decline coincides with the planned shutdown of Paper Machine 3, which began on June 1, 2026, for comprehensive refurbishment and modernization expected to last approximately five months.
Financial Performance
The company’s total income stood at ₹37,287.22 lakh for the quarter, against total expenses of ₹34,375.22 lakh. Profit before tax and exceptional items was ₹2,912.00 lakh, compared to ₹3,079.02 lakh in Q1FY26. However, the transition to the concessional tax regime under Section 200 of the Income-tax Act, 2025, triggered a remeasurement of deferred tax balances.
| Metric | Q1FY27 (₹ in Lakhs) | Q1FY26 (₹ in Lakhs) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | 36,181.47 | 37,092.07 | -2.45% |
| Other Income | 1,105.75 | 629.36 | +75.70% |
| Total Income | 37,287.22 | 37,721.43 | -1.15% |
| Total Expenses | 34,375.22 | 34,642.41 | -0.98% |
| Profit Before Tax | 2,912.00 | 3,079.02 | -5.42% |
| Tax Expense | 4,624.00 | -81.29 | N/A |
| Net Profit / (Loss) | (1,712.00) | 3,160.31 | Turned to Loss |
The tax expense for the quarter amounted to ₹4,624.00 lakh, comprising a current tax provision of ₹690.87 lakh and a deferred tax charge of ₹3,933.13 lakh. In contrast, the company recorded a net tax benefit of ₹81.29 lakh in Q1FY26. The company is no longer eligible for deductions under Section 80-IA for its Cogeneration Division following this regulatory shift.
What the Numbers Show
While operational profitability remained relatively stable with profit before tax at ₹2,912.00 lakh, the reported net loss highlights a significant divergence between operating cash generation and accounting profits due to tax accounting changes. The deferred tax charge alone exceeded the entire profit before tax for the quarter, indicating that the loss is non-cash in nature and does not reflect a deterioration in core business operations or cash flows.
Segment and Corporate Updates
The paper segment contributed ₹36,136.50 lakh to revenue, while the agriculture segment added ₹44.97 lakh. Segment profit before interest and tax for the paper business was ₹3,196.58 lakh, down from ₹3,548.79 lakh in Q1FY26.
The Board of Directors also approved the appointment of M/s Balwinder & Associates as Cost Auditor for FY27. The company’s 45th Annual General Meeting is scheduled for September 30, 2026, at its registered office in Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab. The register of members will remain closed from September 24 to September 30, 2026.
