Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Kamdhenu Limited posted its highest-ever quarterly royalty income, franchisee volumes, profit before tax, and profit after tax in Q1 FY27, demonstrating robust execution across its core branded steel business.
Total revenue from operations reached ₹213.35 crore, marking a 9% year-on-year increase from ₹195.8 crore in Q1 FY26, driven by higher own-facility sales and expanding royalty collections.
Profitability expanded significantly, with Profit Before Tax (PBT) rising 27% year-on-year to ₹36.43 crore and PBT margin improving by 250 basis points to 17.1%, aided by operating leverage and favorable product mix.
Profit After Tax (PAT) grew by 34% year-on-year to ₹28.69 crore compared to ₹21.4 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year, pushing the PAT margin up by 250 basis points to 13.4%.
Franchisee-driven revenue expanded through robust volume growth, as franchisee steel volumes increased by 9% year-on-year to 1.03 million metric tonnes, pushing royalty income up by 16% to ₹48.1 crore.
The quarter's profitability absorbed certain extraordinary operational headwinds, including approximately ₹1.76 crore in additional legal expenses and roughly ₹3.0 crore in fuel cost pressures stemming from the West Asia conflict; management noted that adjusting for these items, underlying PBT growth would have reached 44% year-on-year.
During June 2026, the company successfully commissioned a 5 MWp captive solar power plant in the Phalodi District of Rajasthan, expected to generate annual savings of ₹4 crore to ₹5 crore and structurally reduce energy costs going forward.
Kamdhenu Limited began FY27 with a strong operating performance, posting its highest-ever royalty income, franchisee volumes, PBT, and PAT for the first quarter ended 30 June 2026.
