Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of September 30, 2025, total assets increased to ₹7.66 crore from ₹6.99 crore at the end of FY25. Non-current assets rose sharply to ₹18.70 crore, primarily due to an increase in financial assets (investments) to ₹18.59 crore from ₹29.89 lakh in March 2025. Current assets declined slightly to ₹57.90 crore, with inventories dropping to ₹26.80 crore from ₹41.99 crore. Total equity grew to ₹72.27 crore, supported by retained earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities turned positive, generating ₹18.78 crore during the half-year, compared to an outflow of ₹10.23 crore in FY25. This improvement was driven by a decrease in inventories and efficient working capital management. However, investing activities resulted in an outflow of ₹17.66 crore, mainly due to net investments in non-current and current assets. Cash and cash equivalents rose to ₹16.77 lakh from ₹5.54 lakh at the end of FY25.
What the Numbers Show
The most striking aspect of Victoria Mills’ Q1FY26 results is the complete turnaround in profitability, shifting from a loss-making position to a healthy net profit margin of approximately 14.5% on total revenue. The surge in other income, which contributed positively for the first time in recent quarters, alongside a significant reduction in other expenses, highlights effective cost control measures. Furthermore, the substantial increase in financial investments suggests a strategic deployment of surplus cash, potentially yielding higher returns in future periods. The positive operating cash flow reinforces the sustainability of this recovery, indicating that the profit is backed by actual cash generation rather than accounting adjustments.
