East West Holdings Freight Carriers Limited East West Holdings Freight Carriers returned to profitability in the first quarter of FY26, reporting a consolidated net profit of ₹22.05 lakh for the three months ended June 30, 2026. This marks a significant improvement from the net loss of ₹32.15 lakh recorded in the same quarter of FY25.

The company’s Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results during a meeting held on August 12, 2026. The results were subjected to a limited review by statutory auditors Mittal & Associates, who issued an unqualified report.

Financial Performance

Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹4,556.25 lakh, down 19.4% year-on-year from ₹5,655.71 lakh in Q1FY25. On a sequential basis, revenue increased slightly by 2.8% from ₹4,431.29 lakh in Q4FY25.

Standalone revenue from operations was ₹4,069.47 lakh, representing a 23.9% decline compared to ₹5,346.41 lakh in the prior year’s quarter. The standalone entity posted a net loss of ₹0.21 lakh, narrowing significantly from the loss of ₹53.00 lakh in Q1FY25.

What the Numbers Show

The return to profitability was driven primarily by a sharper decline in total expenses than in revenue. Consolidated total expenses fell 20.8% year-on-year to ₹4,509.51 lakh, outpacing the 19.4% drop in revenue. This divergence improved the operating margin before tax to 1.0% (₹46.47 lakh profit before tax), compared to a negative margin in the prior year.

Cost of materials consumed, the largest expense head, decreased 24.0% to ₹3,645.13 lakh. Employee benefits expense saw a modest 1.6% increase to ₹381.94 lakh, while other expenses contracted 1.3% to ₹201.89 lakh. Finance costs remained relatively stable at ₹236.94 lakh, down 1.6% from ₹258.04 lakh in Q1FY25.

Subsidiary Contribution

The consolidated results include the financials of its subsidiary, M/s Unique Airfreight Express & Logistics Private Limited. The subsidiary contributed ₹496.66 lakh in revenue and reported a net profit after tax of ₹29.68 lakh for the quarter. This profit contribution was material to the group’s overall turnaround, offsetting the near-breakeven performance of the standalone parent entity.

Tax and Other Items

Total tax expense for the consolidated entity was ₹17.00 lakh, comprising ₹10.00 lakh in current tax and ₹7.00 lakh in deferred tax. In contrast, the prior year saw a tax credit of ₹0.50 lakh (₹8.00 lakh current tax expense offset by ₹8.50 lakh deferred tax benefit).

Other income was negligible, recording a negative balance of ₹0.26 lakh in Q1FY26, compared to ₹13.49 lakh in Q1FY25. The company operates primarily in the freight services segment, with no separate segment reporting disclosed as per Ind AS 108.
