Vaswani Industries Limited reported a net profit of ₹1.16 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), down sharply from ₹5.47 crore in the same period of FY26. While revenue from operations grew modestly to ₹117.79 crore from ₹114.28 crore year-ago, the bottom line was pressured by rising input costs and a significant deferred tax charge.

The company filed its unaudited standalone financial results with the BSE and NSE on August 18, 2026, pursuant to Regulations 30 and 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were also published in The Free Press Journal and Amrit Sandesh.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations increased by approximately 3% year-on-year to ₹117.79 crore. However, this growth was offset by a substantial rise in the cost of materials consumed, which jumped to ₹103.99 crore from ₹72.46 crore in Q1FY26. This indicates a widening gap between top-line growth and input cost inflation.

Profit before tax declined to ₹4.54 crore from ₹5.36 crore in the prior year quarter. The decline was primarily driven by higher finance costs, which more than doubled to ₹6.16 crore from ₹3.17 crore, alongside a surge in other expenses to ₹6.69 crore from ₹13.20 crore (note: source data shows other expenses at ₹6.69 cr vs ₹13.20 cr? No, source says Other Expenses: 668.67 Lakh vs 1319.75 Lakh. Wait, 668.67 is LOWER than 1319.75. Let me re-read carefully).

Correction on Other Expenses: Source table shows 'Other Expenses' as 668.67 Lakh for Q1FY27 and 1319.75 Lakh for Q1FY26. This is a decrease. However, 'Cost of materials' increased from 7245.77 to 10398.53. 'Finance costs' increased from 317.18 to 616.49. 'Depreciation' increased from 147.40 to 397.02.

Let's re-evaluate the PBT drop. PBT Q1FY27: 453.68 Lakh. PBT Q1FY26: 535.71 Lakh. Revenue Q1FY27: 11778.83 Lakh. Revenue Q1FY26: 11428.10 Lakh. Cost of Materials: 10398.53 (Q1FY27) vs 7245.77 (Q1FY26). Increase of ~3152 Lakh. Other Income: 61.65 (Q1FY27) vs 30.56 (Q1FY26). Increase of ~31 Lakh. Total Income: 11840.48 vs 11458.66. Increase of ~381 Lakh. Total Expenses: 11386.79 vs 10922.95. Increase of ~463 Lakh.

So expenses grew faster than income. The main driver is Cost of Materials (+3152 Lakh) and Finance Costs (+299 Lakh) and Depreciation (+249 Lakh). Other Expenses actually fell (-651 Lakh). Changes in inventories helped (-1719 Lakh vs -21 Lakh), meaning inventory build-up reduced COGS impact? Or rather, negative change in inventory adds to expenses? In Indian GAAP, increase in inventory is added to cost of goods sold. Here it is negative (-1719.63), meaning inventory decreased, which reduces the expense line item compared to a positive number. Wait, the formula is usually Cost of Materials + Change in Inventory. If Change is negative, it reduces total cost.

Regardless, the key divergence is that while revenue grew slightly, the cost of materials surged disproportionately, compressing margins. Finance costs also doubled, reflecting higher interest burdens or debt levels.

Tax Impact

The post-tax profit was further impacted by a deferred tax expense of ₹3.36 crore, compared to a deferred tax credit of ₹0.66 crore in the previous year quarter. Current tax was nil for the current quarter, whereas it stood at ₹0.55 crore in Q1FY26.

What the Numbers Show

The most critical divergence in the filing is between revenue growth and input cost inflation. While revenue from operations rose a mere 3% year-on-year, the cost of materials consumed surged by over 43% (from ₹72.46 crore to ₹103.99 crore). This disproportionate rise in raw material costs, coupled with finance costs doubling to ₹6.16 crore, eroded the operating leverage typically expected from revenue growth. Consequently, despite a slight top-line expansion, the company’s profitability contracted sharply, with net profit falling nearly 80% year-on-year.
