The Board of Directors, led by Chairman & Managing Director Ankur D Patel, approved the unaudited standalone financial results on August 11, 2026.

Shah & Co., ensuring compliance with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosures Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Financial Performance
The company’s total income for the quarter stood at ₹539.17 lakh, up from ₹511.88 lakh in the corresponding period of the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by a 4.4% increase in revenue from operations, which reached ₹531.43 lakh compared to ₹508.82 lakh in Q1FY25. Other income contributed ₹7.74 lakh, up from ₹3.07 lakh.
Profit before tax (PBT) expanded significantly to ₹134.19 lakh from ₹5.21 lakh in Q1FY25. This improvement was largely due to favorable changes in inventory valuation and controlled operating expenses. Total expenses for the quarter were ₹404.98 lakh, down from ₹506.67 lakh in the same period last year, despite higher cost of materials consumed at ₹595.65 lakh compared to ₹330.13 lakh.

What the Numbers Show
The most striking aspect of Vikram Aroma’s Q1FY26 performance is the massive expansion in margins, driven by a favorable change in inventory values. The company recorded a credit of ₹415.54 lakh from changes in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress, compared to a credit of ₹61.32 lakh in Q1FY25. This inventory adjustment significantly boosted the bottom line, contributing to the jump in PBT from ₹5.21 lakh to ₹134.19 lakh.
While revenue growth was modest at 4.4%, the company managed to reduce total expenses by over 20%, indicating improved operational efficiency or lower input costs relative to output. Employee benefit expenses remained stable at ₹42.36 lakh, while finance costs increased slightly to ₹13.24 lakh from ₹16.22 lakh. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) jumped to ₹3.14 from ₹0.20 in the previous year, reflecting the substantial improvement in profitability.
Governance and Compliance
The financial results were prepared in accordance with Ind AS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. The audit committee reviewed the results before they were approved by the Board. J.T. Shah & Co., the statutory auditor, issued a limited review report stating that nothing came to their attention to suggest the statement did not disclose required information or contained material misstatements.
Vikram Aroma operates in a single reportable segment, "Chemicals," as per IND-AS 108. The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, are balancing figures between audited full-year figures and unaudited year-to-date figures up to December 31, 2025.
