Kaveri Seed Company Limited has released the transcript of their Q3 and nine months FY2025-26 Results Conference Call, which was held on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
The company reported a 16.94% growth in revenue from operations for the nine months of FY26, reaching ₹1,221.56 crore compared to ₹1,044.61 crore in the same period last year. EBITDA for the nine months grew by 10.35% to ₹358.39 crore, while net profit saw a 4.9% increase to ₹308.91 crore.
For the third quarter of FY26, revenue from operations increased by 16.08% to ₹173.65 crore from ₹154.77 crore in Q3 FY25. EBITDA for the quarter was ₹25.38 crore, a 1.14% rise from ₹25.09 crore, and net profit stood at ₹7.46 crore. Cash and bank balances were ₹309 crore.
Mithun Chand, Executive Director, highlighted strong revenue growth driven by maize and selection rice volumes. He noted that while maize prices affected profitability growth during the nine months, the company is optimistic about future performance due to better growth rates in rice, maize, and vegetables. Investments in plant capacities and R&D are expected to increase the share of new products. Exports saw a significant 86% revenue growth in the current quarter.
The call also addressed concerns regarding a decrease in Q3 gross margins, attributed to higher production costs in cotton, maize, and rice, and an inability to fully pass these costs to farmers. The company also discussed the increase in inventory levels, with approximately ₹200 crore invested in inventory, impacting cash flow. Management expects these levels to normalize as the season progresses.
Discussions also touched upon R&D spending, which is between 5% to 10% of total revenue, and the continuous development of new hybrids. The company is also awaiting outcomes for pending income tax appeals totaling ₹56 crore and ₹70 crore.
