LMW Limited has announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter and nine-month period ended 31st December 2025, demonstrating revenue growth despite facing exceptional charges related to regulatory changes. The textile machinery manufacturer reported mixed performance across its business segments with notable impact from new labour code implementation.

Financial Performance Overview

The company's standalone financial results showed steady revenue growth with total income reaching ₹794.92 crores in Q3FY26 compared to ₹742.57 crores in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Revenue from operations stood at ₹766.75 crores, marking an increase from ₹710.81 crores in Q3FY25.

Impact of Exceptional Charges

The company's profitability was significantly affected by exceptional expenditure of ₹11.50 crores in Q3FY26, primarily due to the implementation of new labour codes by the Government of India. This one-time provision for employee benefits resulted from the consolidation of multiple labour laws into four unified Labour Codes effective from 21st November 2025. Additionally, the exceptional expenditure included ₹1.29 crores for compensation towards Voluntary Retirement Scheme.

Nine-Month Performance

For the period ended 31st December 2025, LMW Limited reported strong cumulative performance with revenue from operations of ₹2,228.15 crores compared to ₹2,120.59 crores in the corresponding period last year. Net profit for the nine-month period stood at ₹99.55 crores, lower than ₹189.12 crores in the previous year, primarily due to the absence of exceptional income that benefited the previous year's results.

Segment-wise Analysis

The company's business segments showed varied performance during the quarter. The Machine Tool & Foundry Division delivered positive segment results of ₹20.00 crores in Q3FY26 compared to ₹14.19 crores in Q3FY25. However, the Textile Machinery Division reported negative segment results of ₹2.92 crores, while the Advanced Technology Centre contributed ₹9.18 crores to segment results.

Consolidated Results

On a consolidated basis, LMW Limited reported revenue from operations of ₹758.24 crores in Q3FY26 and net profit of ₹14.66 crores.
