Scoda Tubes Limited reported a net profit of ₹52.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a 26% decline from the ₹70.8 million earned in the corresponding period of FY26. While the company’s top line expanded significantly, profitability was constrained by higher operational and financial outflows.
Revenue from operations grew 28% year-on-year to ₹1,243.5 million, up from ₹974.2 million in Q1FY26. This growth reflects increased activity in stainless-steel pipes and tubes manufacturing. However, the profit before tax (PBT) fell 25% to ₹70.0 million, down from ₹92.8 million in the prior year quarter.

| Revenue from Operations: | ₹1,243.5 million | ₹974.2 million | +27.6% |
| Total Income: | ₹1,259.8 million | ₹991.8 million | +27.0% |

The company’s total income rose 27% to ₹1,259.8 million, supported by operating revenue growth. Other income, however, contracted to ₹16.3 million from ₹17.6 million in the previous year quarter.
What the Numbers Show
A key divergence in the results is the widening gap between revenue growth and expense inflation. While revenue grew nearly 28%, total expenses surged by 32%. Specifically, finance costs rose 27% to ₹64.8 million from ₹51.0 million, and other expenses jumped 81% to ₹213.5 million from ₹118.1 million. This disproportionate rise in non-operating and other costs eroded the benefit of higher sales volumes, leading to a contraction in net margins despite strong top-line performance.
Cost of raw materials consumed stood at ₹1,001.7 million, compared to ₹742.5 million in Q1FY26, tracking closely with revenue growth. Employee benefits remained stable at ₹24.6 million. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased sharply to ₹41.3 million from ₹15.7 million, indicating potential capital expenditure additions or changes in asset base valuation.
The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on August 12, 2026. The results were reviewed by Dhirubhai Shah & Co LLP, the statutory auditors, who expressed an unmodified conclusion. The company operates solely in the manufacturing of stainless-steel pipes and tubes, with no subsidiaries or joint ventures as of June 30, 2026.
