Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Gateway Distriparks reported consolidated total income of INR 553.70 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, remaining flat compared to INR 554.10 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
Total container throughput across the core business contracted slightly by 1.96% year-on-year to 1,83,867 TEUs, driven by a 0.69% decline in the rail vertical to 92,634 TEUs and a 3.22% decline in the CFS vertical to 91,233 TEUs.
Consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at INR 51.27 crore, reflecting an 18% decline from INR 62.20 crore in Q1 FY26, influenced by shifts in tax provisioning frameworks and ongoing operational cost adjustments.
Management noted that external pressures, including the ongoing West Asia conflict, created cargo imbalances and elevated empty running expenses, while fuel price hikes, minimum wage revisions, and general input cost inflation weighed on margins.
The quarter's financial performance includes the consolidation of subsidiary Snowman Logistics, which contributed INR 177.1 crore in revenue, INR 29.3 crore in EBITDA, and INR 4.6 crore in net profit for Q1 FY27.
Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter came in at INR 0.98, compared to INR 1.20 in Q1 FY26, and the company declared a first interim dividend of INR 1.25 per share for FY27.
During the quarter, the company adopted the concessional tax regime under Section 115BAA of the Income-tax Act effective April 1, 2026, setting the statutory tax rate to 25.17% without Section 80-IA deductions, though actual cash tax outgo remained stable due to the utilization of accumulated MAT credits.
