Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Norben Tea & Exports Limited reported revenue from operations of INR 2.73 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, representing a strong sequential expansion compared to INR 1.29 crore posted in the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Total income for Q2 FY27 reached INR 2.78 crore, supported by INR 0.05 crore in other income, compared to INR 1.30 crore in the preceding quarter.
Profit before tax (PBT) and net profit after tax (PAT) both stood at INR 0.75 crore for the quarter under review, up from INR 0.32 crore in Q1 FY27, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of INR 0.48 compared to INR 0.21 in the previous quarter.
Operating expenses for the quarter were well-contained at INR 2.04 crore, with employee benefits expense forming the largest cost component at INR 1.48 crore, alongside other expenses of INR 0.87 crore and finance costs of INR 0.33 crore. Inventory changes contributed a positive adjustment of INR 0.79 crore.
Management noted that due to the seasonal nature of the tea industry, quarterly results are not necessarily representative of the final financial outcome for the full financial year ending March 31, 2027. Ultimate income tax liability will be determined based on full-year results and accounted for at year-end audit.
01 · Business model
What does Norben Tea & Exports do?
Norben Tea & Exports Limited is engaged in the cultivation, manufacture, and sale of tea. Operating primarily within a single reportable business segment, the company manages tea estates and processing facilities in India.
The business model is inherently seasonal, reflecting biological and climatic cycles governing tea harvesting and manufacturing in northeastern India. Revenue generation depends heavily on green leaf yields and realized auction or private sale prices during peak agricultural quarters.
The company sells manufactured tea through various commercial channels and maintains a standalone corporate structure with no subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures as of September 30, 2026.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented 27.2% 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 27.2% 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 ₹0.05 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.
