INTERNATIONAL CONVEYORS LTD. Q2 FY27 Results

International Conveyors Limited (ICL) swung to a consolidated net loss of ₹0.69 Cr (EPS -₹0.11) in Q2 FY27, against a profit of ₹119.82 Cr in Q1 FY27 and a loss of ₹17.36 Cr in Q2 FY26 — the YoY loss narrowed by roughly 96% even though the quarter stayed in the red. Standalone results mirror the consolidated picture with a slightly deeper loss of ₹1.20 Cr (EPS -₹0.19). There is no analyst consensus or brokerage preview available for this micro-cap (BSE: INTLCONV), and management has issued no formal numeric guidance on record, so neither vsStreet nor vsGuidance can be scored beyond "unknown."

The headline loss is not an operating story. Revenue from operations rose 81.9% YoY and 133.4% QoQ to ₹82.42 Cr, led by Conveyor Belts (₹69.66 Cr, +63.8% YoY) and a sharp pickup in Trading Goods (₹12.01 Cr vs ₹2.09 Cr YoY). Core operating margin (EBITDA/revenue) actually expanded to 28.0% from 23.9% a year ago and 20.2% last quarter. What flipped the bottom line was Other Income, which came in at -₹20.78 Cr this quarter versus +₹147.05 Cr in Q1 FY27 and -₹32.33 Cr a year ago — management's own note attributes this to "unrealized mark-to-market (MTM) fair valuation losses on financial assets measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) in accordance with Ind AS 109." Segment disclosures confirm this precisely: the Investment segment alone posted a ₹22.67 Cr pre-tax loss this quarter (vs a ₹143.39 Cr MTM gain in Q1 and a ₹36.09 Cr loss a year ago), while the three operating segments combined (Conveyor Belts + Wind Energy + Trading Goods) delivered a pre-interest profit of ₹24.50 Cr — up from ₹13.75 Cr YoY and ₹10.90 Cr QoQ. Stripping out the Investment segment, core pre-tax profit grew roughly 78% YoY even as reported PAT direction looks far worse — the headline figure overstates the deterioration.

The stock went into the print at ₹77.92, down 2.6% over the past month of trading.

The treasury book itself has grown materially: current investments rose to ₹421.68 Cr from ₹276.59 Cr at FY26-end, funded in part by short-term borrowings that nearly doubled to ₹130.53 Cr, meaning future quarters remain exposed to similar swings on a larger base. The quarter's other corporate actions — the re-appointment of an independent director, the routine Q2/H1 trading-window closure, and a revised promoter-encumbrance disclosure — are governance/compliance matters unconnected to the P&L swing.
