JK Paper Recommends ₹4 Dividend, Reports Audited FY26 Results
JK Paper's Board approved audited FY26 results and recommended a ₹4 per share dividend (40%), totaling ₹72.53 Crore. The company noted improved operational efficiencies but an adverse impact from INR depreciation. A new BCTMP plant is nearing completion, expected to commence production in Q1 FY27. The Composite Scheme of Arrangement became effective.
The declaration of a dividend and the approval of financial results are material information for investors. The progress on the new BCTMP plant and the finalization of the corporate restructuring scheme also have significant implications for the company's future.
The company reported its audited financial results and recommended a dividend, which are positive indicators. Despite mentioning adverse impacts from currency fluctuations, the overall tone suggests a stable performance and future growth prospects with the new plant.
JK Paper Limited announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held on May 18, 2026. The Board considered and approved the Audited Financial Results (Standalone & Consolidated) for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The auditors' reports on these results were unmodified.
Key highlights from the financial year ended March 31, 2026, include the recommendation of a dividend of ₹4.00 per Equity Share (40%), amounting to ₹72.53 Crore. This dividend, if declared by the members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM), will be dispatched within 30 days of the AGM's conclusion, subject to tax deductions.
The company also noted that higher volumes and improved operational efficiencies contributed to better performance, although the depreciation of the Indian Rupee against the Euro adversely impacted net profit for FY 2025-26. An incremental impact of ₹13.60 Crore for the year on retiral obligations due to new labor codes was disclosed as an exceptional item.
The Composite Scheme of Arrangement, approved by the Board and sanctioned by the NCLT on February 3, 2026, became effective on March 15, 2026. This led to the issuance and allotment of 1,19,16,427 Equity Shares on March 20, 2026, and the restatement of financial results for prior periods. Furthermore, the commissioning of the Hardwood Bleach Chemical Thermo-Mechanical Pulp (BCTMP) Plant is in an advanced stage, with commercial production expected from the first quarter of FY 2026-27.
The consolidated results also reflect the impact of the Scheme, with the Sirpur Paper Mills Ltd becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. The incremental impact towards retiral obligations due to new labor codes for the consolidated entity was ₹16.30 Crore for the year ended March 31, 2026.
