Sanstar Limited (CIN: L15400GJ1982PLC072555), a leading manufacturer of starch products, has reported a significant deterioration in its financial performance for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2025-26.

Key Financial Highlights

Sanstar's financial results for Q2 FY2025-26 show a sharp decline across key metrics compared to the same period last year. The company's revenue from operations decreased by 4.45% year-over-year to 196.43 crore rupees from 205.58 crore rupees in Q2 FY2024-25.

Profitability Under Pressure

The most notable decline was in the company's net profit, which plummeted by 91.62% to 0.63 crore rupees from 7.52 crore rupees in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This substantial drop in profitability reflects significant challenges faced by the company during the quarter.

EBITDA and Margin Compression

Sanstar's EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) saw a dramatic fall of 88.22%, reaching 13.50 crore rupees compared to 114.60 crore rupees in Q2 FY2024-25. Consequently, the EBITDA margin contracted sharply to 0.69% from 5.57% in the same period last year, representing a decrease of 488 basis points.

Operational Performance

The company's cost of material consumed increased to 156.98 crore rupees in Q2 FY2025-26, up from 147.35 crore rupees in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This rise in input costs, coupled with a decrease in revenue, has likely contributed to the squeeze on profitability.

Balance Sheet Position

As of September 30, 2025, Sanstar's total assets stood at 761.27 crore rupees, showing a marginal increase from 757.52 crore rupees as of March 31, 2025. The company maintains a strong equity position with total equity of 659.39 crore rupees.

IPO Fund Utilization

Sanstar completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the financial year 2024-2025, raising 397.10 crore rupees. As of September 30, 2025, the company has utilized 319.63 crore rupees of the IPO proceeds, with 41.91 crore rupees temporarily invested in fixed deposits.

Outlook

While the company faces significant challenges as evidenced by the Q2 results, it's important to note that Sanstar continues to invest in its future. The ongoing capital expenditure for the expansion of its Dhule facility, funded partly by the IPO proceeds, may position the company for potential growth once market conditions improve.

Investors and stakeholders will be keenly watching Sanstar's performance in the coming quarters to see if the company can reverse this downtrend and return to a path of profitability and growth.
