Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Nilkamal experienced a contraction in top-line revenue alongside an expansion in bottom-line profitability. Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹819.73 crore, marking a decrease compared to ₹883.14 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Global geopolitical developments and supply chain disruptions emerging since March 2026 triggered an approximate 50% increase in major raw material costs. This significant input cost pressure severely impacted volume growth within the B2B business, which registered a 37% volume contraction.
To mitigate input cost inflation, management executed proactive price increases and product mix optimization initiatives. These steps limited the B2B division's value degrowth to 10% and protected gross margins, allowing standalone EBITDA to reach ₹80 crore compared to ₹57 crore in Q1 FY26.
On a standalone basis, profitability expanded significantly, with PBT and PAT climbing to ₹31 crore and ₹23 crore respectively. This earnings growth was strongly supported by the retail and e-commerce division, which successfully transitioned out of losses into positive operating territory.
The retail and e-commerce segment achieved a turnover of ₹104 crore, representing a 13% expansion over the ₹92 crore reported in the same quarter last year, driven by enhanced product offerings, targeted marketing, and streamlined after-sales service.
Balance sheet strength improved over the period, marked by net borrowings receding to ₹116 crore as of June 30, 2026, down substantially from ₹331 crore twelve months prior, reflecting disciplined cash generation and working capital management.
