01 · Business model

What does The Ugar Sugar Works do?

The Ugar Sugar Works Limited operates as an integrated agro-industrial enterprise primarily engaged in sugar manufacturing, co-generation of power, and the production of industrial and potable alcohol.

The company operates manufacturing facilities located at Ugar Khurd in the Belagavi district of Karnataka and at Nagarhalli-Malli Village in the Kalaburagi district of Karnataka.

Revenue generation is highly seasonal, driven by the sugarcane crushing cycle and market realisations across its core segments of sugar, industrial alcohol (distillery), and co-generation.

Inter-segment transfers involving bagasse and molasses are recorded at net realisable value where exact costs are unascertainable, while other transfers are recorded at cost.

Financial interpretation

What the reported numbers mean

Profit conversion

Profit after tax represented -9.5% of reported quarterly operating revenue. This is a calculated net-profit-to-sales ratio, not a company-reported operating margin. It measures the outcome after expenses and tax; it does not, by itself, establish how margins changed versus another period.

Pre-tax earnings

Profit before tax was equivalent to -9.3% of quarterly operating revenue. The distinction between pre-tax and post-tax profit matters when interpreting earnings; neither ratio identifies an underlying cost driver without a properly matched comparative period.

Operating revenue versus total income

Total income exceeded operating revenue by ₹3.18 crore. This is the disclosed difference between the two lines, not incremental sales. The distinction matters when assessing how much of the quarter’s reported income came from the operating top line.

Ratios above are calculated from the reported quarterly figures. They are analytical descriptions, not company-reported margin guidance or an investment recommendation.
