Soma Textiles & Industries reported a standalone net profit of ₹2.76 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a 43.85% decline from the previous quarter’s ₹4.88 crore. The drop was driven by a significant fall in revenue from operations to ₹28.39 crore from ₹50.82 crore in Q4FY26, as the company navigates its transition to highway construction works contracts. Despite the operational slowdown, the company remained profitable due to exceptional gains from fixed asset sales, highlighting a continued reliance on non-recurring items for bottom-line support.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on July 31, 2026, in compliance with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by statutory auditors Pipara & Co LLP, Chartered Accountants, Ahmedabad. The consolidated financial results mirror the standalone figures because the investment in its associate, Soma Textiles FZC, has been fully impaired, meaning no further losses from the associate are recognized.

Financial Performance Highlights

Total income for Q1FY27 stood at ₹28.57 crore, comprising ₹28.39 crore from operations and ₹18 lakh from other income. Total expenses amounted to ₹26.22 crore, with road work and site expenses constituting the largest component at ₹25.74 crore. Profit before exceptional items and tax was ₹23.5 lakh. Exceptional items contributed ₹41 lakh to the bottom line, primarily from a ₹47 lakh profit on the sale of fixed assets, partially offset by a ₹6 lakh foreign exchange loss on loans given to Soma Textiles FZC.

Change in Promoter Control and Segment Shift

A material development during the period was the change in promoter and management control pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated July 9, 2025. The existing promoters, including Surendra Kumar Somany and Arvind Kumar Somany, sold their entire shareholding to new promoters Roadway Solutions India Infra Limited, Ameet Harjinder Gadhoke, and Teja Ranade Gadhoke. Consequently, the earlier management resigned, and a new board was constituted with Ameet Harjinder Gadhoke as Managing Director and Teja Ranade Gadhoke as Non-Executive Chairperson.

This leadership change coincided with a fundamental business model shift. Until September 2025, the company identified ‘Textile’ trading as its primary segment. From December 2025 onwards, it operates solely in highway construction works contracts under Ind AS 108. No separate segment information is provided for the current quarter as only one reportable segment exists.

What the Numbers Show

The reliance on exceptional items remains a notable feature of the profit structure. While operational profit before exceptional items was ₹23.5 lakh, exceptional items added ₹41 lakh, meaning non-recurring gains accounted for approximately 60% of the pre-tax profit. This divergence suggests that core operational profitability in the new highway construction segment is still stabilizing, with road work expenses consuming nearly 90% of revenue. Additionally, the full impairment of the associate investment means that any future losses from Soma Textiles FZC will not impact the consolidated bottom line, though profits will only be recognized after offsetting previously unrecognized losses.
