United Van Der Horst Limited reported a significant year-on-year decline in profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as rising finance costs and other expenses weighed on margins despite stable revenue generation. The company’s standalone net profit fell 45% to ₹112.42 lakhs from ₹204.19 lakhs in Q1FY26, signaling operational headwinds that investors will need to monitor closely. Consolidated net profit also contracted to ₹113.13 lakhs, reflecting similar pressure across the group structure.
The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on August 6, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 33 read with Regulation 47(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Statutory auditors CKSP And Co LLP issued an unmodified limited review conclusion on both standalone and consolidated statements. In addition to the financial results, the company disclosed a regulatory update regarding a special window for physical share transfers allowed by SEBI.
Financial Performance
Revenue from operations held steady at ₹915.02 lakhs, up marginally from ₹909.31 lakhs in Q1FY26 but significantly higher than ₹593.86 lakhs in Q4FY26. However, total expenses rose to ₹767.95 lakhs from ₹605.52 lakhs year-on-year, primarily driven by an increase in other expenses to ₹218.66 lakhs from ₹151.82 lakhs. Finance costs also climbed to ₹63.56 lakhs from ₹57.38 lakhs.
| Metric | Q1FY27 (₹ Lakhs) | Q1FY26 (₹ Lakhs) | Change |

Segment-wise, job work and reconditioning contributed ₹529.83 lakhs, slightly down from ₹538.84 lakhs, while manufacturing revenue rose to ₹385.19 lakhs from ₹370.47 lakhs. The company noted that meaningful segregation of expenses between segments is not practicable due to shared resources.

What the Numbers Show
The divergence between stable revenue and sharply declining profits highlights a margin compression issue. While top-line growth was negligible, the bottom line suffered disproportionately due to elevated other expenses and finance costs. This suggests fixed cost inefficiencies or one-off charges impacting current period performance rather than a demand-side weakness. Additionally, the company continues to monitor ongoing legal proceedings regarding property tax dues with the Panvel Municipal Corporation, where ₹75.84 lakhs were recognized in earlier periods, with half remaining unpaid pending court outcomes.
