On a sequential basis, revenue moved down 7.95% from INR 177.68 crore registered in the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Profitability improved significantly on an annual comparison, turning positive with a profit after tax of INR 0.96 crore (INR 1.0 crore rounded in presentations) compared to a net loss of INR 2.91 crore in the same quarter last year. Sequentially, however, net profit moderated from INR 4.55 crore reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.
Operating profitability demonstrated healthy year-on-year expansion, with standalone EBITDA reaching INR 25.25 crore compared to INR 20.56 crore in Q2 FY26, representing a growth of 22.8% driven by disciplined cost management and steady asset utilization across the warehouse network.
The company maintained a high warehouse capacity utilization rate of 85% during the quarter, supported by steady demand across core temperature-sensitive industry verticals and ongoing expansion in key regional markets.
Management noted that rising food hygiene standards, stricter regulatory compliance, and an industry-wide emphasis on product quality continue to generate robust fundamental demand for reliable cold chain infrastructure across India.

Current quarter vs the two useful baselines
| Metric | Quarter ended September 30, 2026 | Year-ago | Previous quarter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations | ₹163.56 Cr | ₹155.65 Cr | ₹177.68 Cr |

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented 0.6% 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.
Profit before tax was equivalent to 0.9% 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.
Total income exceeded operating revenue by ₹1.30 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.
