Regulatory Disclosure Details

The intimation was issued under Regulation 30 and Part A of Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The disclosure also references SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/0155 dated November 11, 2024. VTM Limited submitted the details to the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited on August 12, 2026. The filing includes the resignation letter received from Preyatharshine, which outlines her decision to leave for higher education.

Resignation Profile

The following table summarizes the key details of the change in key managerial personnel as per the exchange filing:

Preyatharshine holds ICSI Membership Number A58314. In her resignation letter dated August 1, 2026, addressed to the Board of Directors, she expressed gratitude for the support and guidance extended during her tenure. The Board has acknowledged her resignation and will proceed with the necessary compliance formalities following her cessation date.

VTM Limited reported a net profit of ₹193.24 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a 58% decline from the ₹460.47 lakh earned in the same period last year. Although total income grew by 36% to ₹9,904.08 lakh, driven by a rise in net sales to ₹9,840.41 lakh from ₹7,198.71 lakh, profitability was severely constrained by rising operational expenses. The results underscore the seasonal volatility inherent in the textile manufacturing sector, where input cost inflation can quickly erode top-line gains.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone financial results at a meeting held on August 12, 2026. The figures were prepared in accordance with Ind AS 34 and reviewed by statutory auditors CNGSN & Associates LLP, who issued an unmodified limited review report. The filing was submitted to the Bombay Stock Exchange under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Financial Performance

Total income for the quarter stood at ₹9,904.08 lakh, up from ₹7,285.37 lakh in Q1FY26. Net sales contributed ₹9,840.41 lakh, while other income was ₹63.67 lakh. However, total expenses increased significantly to ₹9,644.74 lakh from ₹6,674.72 lakh in the prior year quarter. Key cost drivers included cost of materials consumed at ₹7,338.01 lakh and employee benefits expense at ₹839.96 lakh. Profit before tax remained flat at ₹259.34 lakh compared to the previous year's quarter, but tax expenses rose to ₹66.10 lakh from ₹150.18 lakh due to changes in deferred tax assessments.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and profit decline indicates significant margin compression. While sales grew by approximately 37%, total expenses surged by nearly 45%, primarily due to higher material costs which rose 44% to ₹7,338.01 lakh. This suggests that input cost inflation or mix shifts are currently outweighing volume or price benefits in the textile segment. The basic earnings per share fell to ₹0.19 from ₹0.46, reflecting the impact on shareholder value despite top-line expansion.

Corporate Developments

In parallel with the financial results, VTM Limited announced changes in its key managerial personnel. Mrs. K. Preyatharshine resigned as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer effective August 14, 2026, to pursue master’s studies abroad. The Board appointed Mrs. G. Gomathi Meenakshi as the new Company Secretary and Compliance Officer with effect from the same date. Mrs. Meenakshi brings over eight years of experience in secretarial compliance and legal matters. Additionally, the company continues its process to list equity shares on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, following board approval granted in January 2026.
