The company demonstrated resilience with notable growth in revenue, despite facing challenges in its hotel division.

Segment-wise Performance

The company operates in two business segments:

Hotel Division: Contributed ₹16.76 crore to the half-year revenue.

Key Observations

The company's total income for H1 FY2026 stood at ₹68.65 crore, marking a significant increase of 16.4% compared to ₹58.99 crore in the same period last year.

Basic earnings per share (EPS) for the half-year was ₹1.20, slightly up from ₹1.19 in the previous year.

Challenges and Outlook

Board Meeting and Audit Review

The unaudited financial results were reviewed by the company's statutory auditors and recommended by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors approved these results at their meeting held on November 10, 2025.

Conclusion

While Ambica Agarbathies Aroma Industries Limited has shown robust top-line growth, the marginal increase in profitability suggests ongoing challenges, particularly in the hotel segment. The company's ability to manage its debt obligations and improve cash flows in the hotel division will be crucial for its financial health in the coming quarters.
