KDDL Limited announced its Unaudited Financial Results (Standalone and Consolidated) for the quarter ended 30th June, 2026. The Board of Directors approved the results and took on record the Limited Review Report thereon. The board meeting commenced at 04:15 p.m. and concluded at 06:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 4th August, 2026. The financial results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 34 and comply with SEBI Listing Regulations.

KDDL's Q1 FY27 print is strong on a year-on-year basis: consolidated PAT (profit for the period, before minority interest) rose 50.7% YoY to ₹44.75 Cr on revenue of ₹633.80 Cr, up 36.3% YoY (sequentially, +29.6% QoQ PAT and +10.2% QoQ revenue off Q4 FY26). Consolidated NPM expanded to 6.92% from 6.23% a year ago and OPM to 15.02% from 14.74%, so the growth came with margin gains, not just volume. There is no formal analyst consensus on record for this quarter — KDDL carries thin sell-side coverage — so vsStreet is unknown; no press release accompanied this filing, so this read is drawn from the regulatory statement and prior concall commentary only. Growth was broad-based across both reporting segments. The Watches, Accessories & Luxury segment (built around Ethos Ltd and Favre Leuba) grew revenue 34.3% YoY to ₹466.55 Cr and remains ~74% of the consolidated top line, while Precision & Watch Components grew a faster 43.9% YoY to ₹160.72 Cr on a consolidated basis. On a standalone basis (largely the Precision Engineering and Bracelets businesses management explicitly guided on), revenue grew 39.8% YoY to ₹153.89 Cr — well ahead of the 20-25% CAGR flagged for FY27 in the May 2026 concall — and standalone OPM expanded to 22.91% from 18.76% a year ago, consistent with the 'stable to improving, mix-dependent' margin guidance given then. Standalone margins did ease sequentially (OPM 22.91% vs 26.19% in Q4 FY26; PAT down 1.4% QoQ to ₹19.51 Cr), but that's a normal quarter-to-quarter wobble and secondary to the YoY read. Two guidance markers remain unresolved this quarter: Ornapac, the packaging unit reported under the 'Others' segment, stayed loss-making at -₹1.06 Cr (vs -₹0.83 Cr a year ago) — management's H2 FY27 profitability target isn't yet due, so this is on-track rather than a miss. The planned ₹50 Cr FY27 capex and Favre Leuba's 'more than double sales' target aren't verifiable from this filing, which carries no capex or brand-level disclosure. Within the quarter the board also saw a director resignation (22 June 2026, cited as time constraints) and had earlier approved an ₹8/share FY26 final dividend (19 May 2026) — neither tied to operating performance. One quality note: owners'-share PAT (and EPS, ₹23.87 vs ₹16.61 YoY) grew a slower-but-still-strong 43.7% YoY, below the 50.7% headline consolidated PAT growth, as NCI's share of profit rose to 34.4% from 31.2% a year ago. Going into Q2 FY27, KDDL is compounding revenue faster than its own standalone guidance while the retail/luxury arm keeps growing off a larger base — watch items are whether Ornapac's H2 profitability target holds, whether NCI's share of consolidated profit keeps climbing, and whether standalone margins recover from the Q4-to-Q1 dip.
