HMT Limited Reports Q3 FY26 Results: Standalone Net Loss Widens, Consolidated Loss Narrows
HMT Limited reported Q3 FY26 results. Standalone net profit before tax was ₹670 lakhs. Consolidated net loss narrowed to ₹2,724 lakhs from ₹3,908 lakhs in Q2 FY26. The company is evaluating the impact of New Labour Codes and preparing financials on a going concern basis despite eroded net worth.
The announcement provides quarterly financial results, which are material for investors. However, the absence of significant growth drivers or new strategic initiatives limits the immediate impact to medium.
The financial results show mixed performance with a standalone profit increase but a consolidated loss. While the loss has narrowed, the overall financial health indicated by eroded net worth prevents a positive sentiment.
HMT Limited announced its unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The Board of Directors approved these results at a meeting held on February 9, 2026, which commenced at 16:21 and concluded at 17:21.
On a standalone basis, the company reported a total income of ₹2,085 lakhs for the third quarter of FY26, compared to ₹2,124 lakhs in the previous quarter and ₹2,224 lakhs in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The net profit before tax for the quarter stood at ₹670 lakhs, a significant improvement from ₹121 lakhs in Q2 FY26 but lower than ₹659 lakhs in Q3 FY25. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the total income was ₹6,376 lakhs, with a net profit before tax of ₹2,005 lakhs.
Consolidated figures show a total income of ₹3,608 lakhs for Q3 FY26, down from ₹4,198 lakhs in Q2 FY26 and ₹4,051 lakhs in Q3 FY25. The consolidated net loss for the quarter was ₹2,724 lakhs, a reduction from ₹3,908 lakhs in Q2 FY26 and ₹5,128 lakhs in Q3 FY25. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the consolidated total income was ₹11,534 lakhs, with a net loss of ₹9,409 lakhs.
The company also noted the effective implementation of the New Labour Codes from November 21, 2025, and stated that any potential financial impact will be evaluated and accounted for accordingly. The auditors' limited review report highlighted that the net worth of the HMT Group has been completely eroded, but the company is preparing financial statements on a going concern basis, considering the realizable value of assets, government support, and business plans.
