Vinyl Chemicals (India) Limited has reported mixed fourth quarter financial performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with revenue growth overshadowed by significant declines in profitability metrics compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

Revenue Performance Shows Modest Growth

The company achieved fourth quarter revenue of ₹18,319 lakhs, representing a 6% increase from ₹17,307 lakhs recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. For the full year ended March 31, 2026, total income reached ₹66,363 lakhs, marking a 5% growth from ₹63,026 lakhs in the previous financial year.

Profitability Metrics Under Pressure

Despite the revenue increase, the company faced significant challenges in maintaining profitability during the quarter. Profit after tax for the fourth quarter stood at ₹465 lakhs, marking a 36% decrease from ₹727 lakhs in the previous year. Similarly, profit before tax declined to ₹613 lakhs from ₹1,011 lakhs, representing a 39% drop.

Annual Performance Reflects Similar Trends

The annual results for FY26 mirrored the quarterly performance trends. While total income for the year grew by 5% to ₹66,363 lakhs, profit after tax declined by 26% to ₹1,650 lakhs from ₹2,233 lakhs in the previous year. Profit before tax also decreased by 27% to ₹2,218 lakhs from ₹3,040 lakhs.

Earnings Per Share Impact

The decline in profitability directly impacted earnings per share metrics. Basic earnings per share for the quarter decreased to ₹2.53 from ₹3.96 in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. For the full year, basic EPS declined to ₹8.99 from ₹12.17, reflecting the overall pressure on profitability despite revenue growth.

The company maintained its equity share capital at ₹183 lakhs with a face value of ₹1 per share, while reserves increased to ₹12,842 lakhs from ₹12,483 lakhs in the previous year. The divergence between revenue growth and declining profitability suggests the company faced significant cost pressures during the reporting period.
