Kusumgar's debut quarterly print: PAT up 5.4x YoY to ₹42.7 Cr, NPM triples to 17.3%
Kusumgar Limited's first quarterly result as a listed company (equity listed on BSE/NSE on 15 July 2026, after an entirely offer-for-sale IPO at ₹419/share) shows consolidated revenue of ₹247.25 Cr, up 101.9% YoY from ₹122.47 Cr in Q1 FY26, and consolidated PAT of ₹42.65 Cr, up 5.4x YoY from ₹6.65 Cr. Standalone tells a similar but slightly softer story — revenue ₹241.91 Cr (+93.6% YoY) and PAT ₹41.86 Cr (+~8.8x YoY) — with the subsidiaries (Kusumgar Middle East FZ-LLC, Engineered Coated Fabric, Kusumgar Composites, and the newly incorporated Kusumgar Aerospace, added 8 April 2026) contributing only a thin sliver on top: the auditor's review note quantifies three of the reviewed subsidiaries at a combined ₹3.78 Cr revenue and ₹0.26 Cr PAT for the quarter, so essentially all of the consolidated profit is standalone-driven.
The margin expansion is the more striking part of the print: consolidated net profit margin nearly tripled to 17.3% from 5.4% a year ago, and EBITDA margin (PBT + finance cost + depreciation, as no separate operating-profit line is disclosed) expanded to roughly 31.1% from ~22.0% YoY — likely a mix of operating leverage on higher volumes and a lighter cost-of-materials ratio versus the year-ago quarter. That said, the year-ago base (Q1 FY26, ₹122.47 Cr revenue) was unusually light next to the ₹312.79 Cr the company logged in the immediately preceding (Mar-26) quarter, and the filing notes that Mar-26 quarter figures are themselves a balancing plug between FY26 audited annuals and nine-month unaudited numbers, not a clean quarterly print. Sequentially, revenue is down 21.0% and EBITDA margin down from ~41.2% to ~31.1% versus that Mar-26 quarter — a sizeable QoQ swing that is best read as a base/timing artifact on both sides rather than a genuine slowdown, given the unusual nature of the comparison quarter.
There is no street coverage to compare against — a web search for Q1 FY27 previews or consensus estimates on Kusumgar turned up nothing, consistent with a stock listed barely four weeks ago with no analyst tracking yet; vsStreet is unknown. Similarly, management has issued no formal guidance or outlook on record in our data or in this filing (no MD&A/press-release commentary accompanies the regulatory notes beyond standard Ind AS 34 disclosures), so vsGuidance cannot be assessed — flagged as unknown rather than assumed met. The quarter's other notable corporate action, unrelated to the print itself, is the appointment of Ratan Jha as CFO effective 11 August 2026 — the same day as this results approval — replacing a predecessor who resigned "to focus on strategy"; the company frames this as a routine KMP change tied to post-listing governance needs, with no numbers in the filing tying it to the results.
Going into Q2 FY27, the print sets up as the first "clean" comparable quarter once markets get a Mar-26-quarter-free YoY base — investors will be watching whether the ~₹247 Cr revenue and ~31% EBITDA margin level holds or reverts toward the wider Mar-26/Jun-25 swings seen in this filing.
