Regulatory Compliance

The disclosure is made pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Part A of Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Swastika Castal explicitly stated that no unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI) was discussed or shared. Mukesh Kumar Khanna, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, signed the notice.

Swastika Castal reported a 24% decline in net profit after tax (PAT) for FY26, dropping to ₹328.19 million from ₹434.44 million in the prior year. The decline occurred despite a 17% rise in revenue from operations to ₹3,535.41 million, driven by increased export sales and other income.

The company attributed the lower bottom line to rising manufacturing and employee benefit expenses, which offset the top-line growth. Excluding a one-time prior-period income of ₹250.07 million that boosted FY25 profits, the operational performance showed improvement. The Board of Directors decided not to declare a dividend, opting to retain reserves for expansion plans.

AGM Agenda and Corporate Actions

The 30th Annual General Meeting is scheduled for September 18, 2026, at the Taj Bengal Business Centre in Kolkata. Shareholders will consider the adoption of audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

A key special resolution seeks consent to shift the company's registered office from West Bengal to Gujarat. The move aims to facilitate administrative convenience and improve operational efficiency. The change requires approval by way of a Special Resolution under Section 12 of the Companies Act, 2013. Additionally, members will approve the reappointment of Mrs. Varsha Sharda as a director liable to retire by rotation and the appointment of M/s. Janki & Associates as Secretarial Auditor for five years.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations grew significantly, with export sales rising to ₹1,478.21 million from ₹1,018.54 million. Local sales also increased to ₹2,148.52 million. Other income surged to ₹83.68 million, primarily due to a net foreign exchange gain of ₹60.03 million, compared to ₹14.40 million in the previous year.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and profit contraction highlights margin pressure. While total income rose nearly 20%, expenses before interest and depreciation jumped to ₹2,997.54 million from ₹2,513.14 million. Employee benefit expenses increased by 21% to ₹194.14 million, and manufacturing expenses rose to ₹978.75 million. The FY25 comparison is distorted by a ₹250.07 million prior-period income adjustment; without this non-recurring item, the underlying profit before tax for FY25 would have been ₹337.03 million, indicating that core operational profitability has actually expanded in FY26.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Total assets grew to ₹4,357.96 million from ₹3,122.25 million, supported by proceeds from an Initial Public Offer (IPO) of ₹1,406.60 million. The company utilized these funds for capital expenditure, working capital, and general corporate purposes. Net debt position improved with short-term borrowings decreasing to ₹860.29 million from ₹720.07 million, while cash and cash equivalents stood at ₹13.14 million. Trade receivables increased to ₹1,339.02 million, reflecting higher sales volumes.
