The call featured insights from Mr. Mithun Chand, Executive Director, and Mr. Rama Naidu, Investor Relations.
During the fiscal year 2026, Kaveri Seed reported a revenue from operations of ₹1,303.77 crores, marking a significant growth of 16.25% from ₹1,121.57 crores in FY25. The company's Profit After Tax (PAT) for FY26 stood at ₹283.26 crores, an increase of 6.81% compared to ₹265.21 crores in FY25. This growth was attributed to strong performance across non-cotton segments, including rice, maize, and vegetables. The contribution of new cotton hybrids significantly improved, rising from 10.3% to 30.05%, indicating strong market acceptance. Maize revenue saw substantial growth with a 40.17% increase in revenue driven by higher volumes and market demand. The export business also demonstrated exceptional performance, with approximately 90% growth in FY26.
The company addressed queries regarding inventory levels, with Mr. Chand explaining that increased production was a strategic decision to build buffer stocks. He also discussed the potential impact of the El Nino effect on monsoon patterns, stating that the company's diverse crop portfolio might help mitigate risks. Regarding cotton, the company anticipates growth, driven by new hybrid products and favorable market sentiment. The contribution of new products in cotton is expected to increase further. Discussions also touched upon balance sheet items, including lower customer advances and trade payables, attributed to a tighter cash flow in the channel and the company's strategy to not insist on higher advances. The company expects overall revenue growth of 15-20% in FY27, with cotton projected to grow by over 20%. Discussions on margins indicated an expectation of improvement due to lower production costs and stable pricing. Capital expenditure plans were also detailed, primarily for office buildings, plant and machinery, land acquisition, and seed processing units, with a portion allocated for R&D land.
The transcript also covered the company's stance on tax rulings, emphasizing that the nature of income is agricultural and that similar cases across the industry have been won. The management reiterated their consistent dividend policy and mentioned that a buyback might be considered once inventory-related funds are realized.
