Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited reported revenue from operations of INR 83.42 crore and a total income of INR 87.12 crore on a standalone basis. Operating performance yielded a profit before tax (PBT) of INR 0.09 crore and a net profit (PAT) of INR 0.08 crore, translating to basic and diluted earnings per share of INR 0.01.
The reported quarterly results benefit significantly from an exceptional item of income amounting to INR 7.95 crore (INR 795.02 lakhs), which arose from the reversal of excess provisions previously maintained regarding electricity matters. Without this exceptional credit, pre-tax operations would have registered a loss before exceptional items and taxes of INR 7.86 crore.
Segment reporting highlights divergent operational pressures across the company's core pillars. The sugar segment continued to face severe headwinds, generating a pre-tax segment loss of INR 10.18 crore on external revenues of INR 29.09 crore.
Conversely, the distillery and power segments provided vital balancing support. The distillery division achieved external segment revenues of INR 48.33 crore and contributed a segment result of INR 4.21 crore, while the power division recorded external revenues of INR 12.50 crore and a segment result of INR 8.39 crore.
Total expenses for the quarter aggregated to INR 94.98 crore, dominated by raw material consumption of INR 59.16 crore and inventory adjustments reflecting an inventory decrease of INR 11.72 crore. Employee benefits expense stood at INR 6.86 crore, while finance costs and depreciation charges amounted to INR 1.63 crore and INR 3.70 crore respectively. Other expenses totaled INR 11.91 crore.
Management explicitly notes that because sugar production is inherently seasonal, the performance registered in any single quarter cannot be viewed as directly representative of the full financial year's operating outcome.
Profit after tax was ₹0.08 Cr for the reported quarter. EPS was ₹0.01 for the reported quarter.
01 · Business model
What does Kothari Sugars and Chemicals do?
Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited operates as an integrated sugar, distillery, and co-generation power producer based in Tamil Nadu, India. The company manages manufacturing operations through two major production locations: Unit I situated in Kattur (Lalgudi Taluk, Tiruchirappalli District) and Unit II situated in Sathamangalam (Ariyalur District).
The company's operational model converts sugarcane into refined sugar while simultaneously generating allied revenue streams through industrial alcohol/distillery products and surplus power generation from bagasse-based co-generation plants.
Revenue generation depends heavily on the seasonal availability of sugarcane harvests, creating distinct inter-quarter fluctuations in output, processing volumes, and segment-wise financial contributions throughout the fiscal year.
The enterprise maintains no subsidiary, associate, or joint-venture companies, presenting a purely standalone operational profile for its manufacturing assets and financial reporting structure.
02 · Historical context
What shaped the business before this quarter
As of June 30, 2026, the company continues to operate entirely as a standalone entity without subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures.
The company established its operational footprint across Unit I in Tiruchirappalli District and Unit II in Ariyalur District, Tamil Nadu, to anchor its integrated sugar, distillery, and power generation capabilities.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented 0.1% 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 0.1% 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 ₹3.70 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.
