Financial Performance

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between falling revenue and rising profits is driven by two key factors visible in the financial statement. First, other income jumped to ₹139.53 lakh from ₹27.06 lakh year-ago, contributing substantially to the total income of ₹1,857.94 lakh. Second, while revenue contracted by over 40%, total expenses fell more sharply to ₹1,726.72 lakh from ₹2,930.68 lakh, allowing the profit from operations before tax to expand to ₹131.21 lakh from ₹106.84 lakh.

On a standalone basis, Yash Chemex reported a net profit of ₹48.72 lakh against ₹29.66 lakh in Q1FY26. Standalone revenue was ₹971.42 lakh, down from ₹1,774.63 lakh. The subsidiary, Yasons Chemex Care Limited, contributed ₹55.46 lakh to the consolidated net profit after tax.
