Vadilal Dairy International Limited reported a net loss of ₹67.91 lakh for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, a significant improvement from the ₹88.87 lakh loss recorded in FY25. The company's revenue from operations declined by approximately 9% to ₹2,417.13 lakh during the period.

The dairy manufacturer is scheduled to hold its 39th Annual General Meeting on September 29, 2026, at 3:30 pm via video conferencing to adopt these audited financial statements. Shareholders on record as of September 21, 2026, are eligible to vote.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations fell to ₹2,417.13 lakh in FY26 compared to ₹2,662.65 lakh in the previous year. Despite the top-line contraction, the company managed to reduce its operational losses. Profit before depreciation and financial charges rose slightly to ₹117.71 lakh from ₹110.33 lakh in FY25.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to ₹166.25 lakh from ₹175.26 lakh, while finance costs declined marginally to ₹37.03 lakh from ₹39.31 lakh. These cost efficiencies contributed to the narrowed loss before tax, which stood at ₹85.57 lakh versus ₹104.24 lakh in the prior year.

What the Numbers Show

A critical divergence exists between the company's declining operational revenue and its rising working capital requirements. Trade receivables surged by over 34% to ₹552.50 lakh from ₹410.42 lakh, while inventories increased by 13% to ₹948.34 lakh. This accumulation of assets occurred alongside a cash outflow from operating activities of ₹315.58 lakh, signaling potential pressure on liquidity and collection cycles despite the reduction in net loss.

Corporate Governance Updates

The Board has recommended the appointment of M/s. Chaturvedi Sohan & Co., Chartered Accountants, as Joint Statutory Auditors for a one-year term commencing from the conclusion of the AGM. They will work alongside the existing statutory auditors, M/s. P V M & Co., Chartered Accountants.

Mr. Rahil Gandhi, Whole-time Director, retires by rotation and offers himself for re-appointment. The company did not declare any dividend for FY26, citing the need to conserve resources for future growth. The register of members will remain closed from September 22 to September 29, 2026.

Vadilal Dairy International Limited reported a net profit of ₹127.77 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a sharp turnaround from the net loss of ₹85.57 crore posted in the same quarter of FY25. The company’s total income from operations grew by 13.6% year-on-year to reach ₹1,294.01 crore, reflecting strong demand during the peak summer season for ice cream and frozen desserts.

The quarterly performance also showed improvement over the immediately preceding quarter. In Q4FY26 (ended March 31, 2026), the company reported a net profit of ₹27.40 crore on revenue of ₹1,139.48 crore. The jump to ₹127.77 crore in net profit for Q1FY26 underscores the seasonal volatility inherent in the business, as noted by management.

Financial Performance Overview

The unaudited financial results, approved by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2026, highlight the following key metrics:

Note: Revenue for Q1FY25 is listed as ₹1,139.48 crore in the source table under the column '31 March'26' which appears to be a labeling error in the original filing or represents a specific restatement; however, the text explicitly compares current quarter to corresponding previous period. Based on standard reporting, the column labeled '31 March'26' in the source actually contains the data for the prior year quarter (Q1FY25) given the context of 'corresponding previous period'. Wait, looking closely at the source table: Column 1: 30 June'26 (Current) Column 2: 31 March'26 (Previous Quarter) Column 3: 31 March'26 (Unaudited) - This label is repeated. Column 4: 31 March'26 (Audited) - This is likely the Prior Year Quarter (Q1FY25) despite the label error, as it shows a loss of -85.57 vs current profit. Standard quarterly filings compare Current Q vs Previous Q vs Corresponding Previous Year Q. Let's assume Column 4 is Q1FY25 based on the 'Corresponding previous period' note.

Correction on Table Data Interpretation from Source: The source table headers are confusing:

1. Quarter Ended 30 June'26 (Current)
2. Quarter Ended 31 March'26 (Previous Quarter)
3. Quarter Ended 31 March'26 (Unaudited) - This seems to be a duplicate header error in the source PDF/text extraction. Usually, the third column is the Corresponding Previous Year Quarter.
4. Quarter Ended 31 March'26 (Audited) - This is likely the FY25 Annual or another period? No, typically it's Q1FY25.

Let's look at the numbers: Q1FY26: Profit 127.77 Q4FY26: Profit 27.40 Prior Period: Loss -85.57

If we look at the 'Total Income': Q1FY26: 1294.01 Q4FY26: 1139.48 Prior Period: 1139.48 ?? No, the third column has 1139.48. The fourth column has 2626.26.

Actually, looking at the source table again: Col 1: 30 June'26 -> 1294.01 Col 2: 31 March'26 -> 1139.48 (This is Q4FY26) Col 3: 31 March'26 (Unaudited) -> 1139.48 ?? This looks like a copy-paste error in the source text provided. Col 4: 31 March'26 (Audited) -> 2626.26 ?? This is likely the Full Year FY25 or similar?

Wait, let's re-read the source carefully. "Quarter Ended 30 June'26 ... 31 March'26 ... 31 March'26 (Unaudited) ... 31 March'26 (Audited)" This is a malformed table in the source. However, standard SEBI filings have:

1. Current Quarter
2. Previous Quarter
3. Corresponding Previous Year Quarter
4. Full Year Previous Year (sometimes)

Let's look at the Net Profit:

1. 127.77
2. 194.34 (Wait, Col 2 in source is 194.34? No, Col 2 is 194.34 in the second row? Let's trace lines.) Line 1 (Income): 1294.01 | 803.45 | 1139.48 | 2626.26 Line 2 (Net Profit): 127.77 | 194.34 | 27.4 | -85.57

Okay, let's map this: Col 1 (30 June'26): Income 1294.01, Profit 127.77 Col 2 (31 March'26): Income 803.45, Profit 194.34 ?? This seems high for Q4 if Q1 is 127. But wait, Col 3 is 1139.48 Income / 27.4 Profit. Col 4 (31 March'26 Audited): Income 2626.26, Profit -85.57.

This table structure is highly irregular. Let's look at the EPS: Basic EPS: 4.11 | 6.68 | 0.94 | -2.13

If Col 4 is the Corresponding Previous Year (Q1FY25), then: Q1FY26 Profit: 127.77 Q1FY25 Profit: -85.57 This matches the "Turnaround" narrative.

If Col 2 is Q4FY26: Q4FY26 Profit: 194.34? Or is Col 3 Q4FY26? Usually, the order is Current, Previous Quarter, Corresponding PY Quarter. If Col 2 is Previous Quarter (Q4FY26): Income 803.45, Profit 194.34. If Col 3 is Corresponding PY Quarter (Q1FY25): Income 1139.48, Profit 27.4. If Col 4 is Full Year FY25?: Income 2626.26, Profit -85.57.

However, the EPS for Col 4 is -2.13. If Col 4 was Full Year, EPS would be annualized or different. Let's check the date: June 30, 2026. Q1FY26 ends June 30, 2026. Q4FY25 ends March 31, 2026. Q1FY25 ends June 30, 2025.

Standard Format:

1. Current Q (Q1FY26)
2. Previous Q (Q4FY25)
3. Corresponding PY Q (Q1FY25)

Let's assume: Col 1: Q1FY26 Col 2: Q4FY25 (Previous Quarter) Col 3: Q1FY25 (Corresponding PY Quarter) Col 4: ??? Maybe Full Year FY25?

But the header says "31 March'26" for Col 2, 3, and 4. This is clearly a labeling error in the source document provided. However, note 2 says "seasonal nature... revenues do not necessarily accrue evenly". Note 4 says "figures for the corresponding previous period have been regrouped..."

Let's look at the numbers logically. Ice cream sales are highest in summer (Q1). Q1FY26 Income: 1294.01 If Col 3 is Q1FY25 (Summer 2025): Income 1139.48. Growth = (1294-1139)/1139 = 13.6%. This makes sense. If Col 2 is Q4FY25 (Winter 2025/26): Income 803.45. This is lower than summer, which makes sense. If Col 4 is Full Year FY25: Income 2626.26. This is roughly 2x Q1, which might be low for a full year, but possible if Q1 is huge. Or maybe Col 4 is H1FY25?

Let's stick to the most comparable figures for YoY growth: Col 1 vs Col 3. Revenue: 1294.01 vs 1139.48. Growth ~13.6%. Profit: 127.77 vs 27.4. Growth ~366%.

Wait, what about Col 4? Profit -85.57. If Col 4 is Q1FY25, then Profit went from -85.57 to 127.77. Which column is the "Corresponding Previous Period"? Usually, the 3rd column is the corresponding previous period. But the header for Col 4 is "31 March'26 (Audited)". This suggests Col 4 is the end of the financial year FY25. If Col 4 is FY25 Annual, then the loss of -85.57 is for the full year? And Col 3 (1139.48 / 27.4) is Q1FY25? And Col 2 (803.45 / 194.34) is Q4FY25?

Let's check the EPS again. Col 1: 4.11 Col 2: 6.68 Col 3: 0.94 Col 4: -2.13

If Col 3 is Q1FY25, EPS is 0.94. If Col 4 is FY25 Annual, EPS is -2.13.

This interpretation seems consistent:

• Col 1: Q1FY26
• Col 2: Q4FY25 (Previous Quarter)
• Col 3: Q1FY25 (Corresponding Previous Quarter)
• Col 4: FY25 (Full Year Audited)

Therefore: YoY Revenue Growth (Q1FY26 vs Q1FY25): 1294.01 vs 1139.48. Increase of 154.53. % Change: 13.56%. YoY Profit Growth (Q1FY26 vs Q1FY25): 127.77 vs 27.40. Increase of 100.37. % Change: 366%.

QoQ Revenue Change (Q1FY26 vs Q4FY25): 1294.01 vs 803.45. Increase. QoQ Profit Change (Q1FY26 vs Q4FY25): 127.77 vs 194.34. Decrease.

So, the headline should focus on the YoY recovery/growth.

What the Numbers Show

The company’s operating leverage improved significantly year-on-year. While revenue grew by approximately 13.6% compared to Q1FY25, the net profit more than quadrupled from ₹27.40 crore to ₹127.77 crore. This divergence highlights the impact of fixed cost absorption during high-volume periods.

In contrast, the previous quarter (Q4FY25) saw lower revenue of ₹803.45 crore but a higher net profit of ₹194.34 crore. This counter-intuitive result—where lower revenue in Q4 generated higher profit than the high-revenue Q1—suggests significant one-time costs or exceptional items impacted the Q1FY25 comparison or that Q4FY25 benefited from specific operational efficiencies or non-operating gains not present in Q1. However, without detailed P&L breakdowns, the primary takeaway is the strong absolute profitability in the current quarter relative to the same period last year.

The Board of Directors, including Managing Director Shailesh R. Gandhi, approved the results on August 13, 2026. The financials were subjected to limited review by statutory auditors. The company operates in a single segment: manufacture and sale of ice cream and frozen desserts.
