KDDL Board Approves Q2FY26 Results and Declares ₹15 Interim Dividend
KDDL Limited announced its Q2FY26 standalone and consolidated financial results and declared an interim dividend of ₹15 per equity share. The record date for the dividend is November 14, 2025.
The declaration of a substantial interim dividend is a positive event for shareholders. However, the mixed financial results, with lower profits compared to the previous year, and the auditor's emphasis on the financial health of a subsidiary (Estima AG), suggest a moderate overall impact on the stock, warranting further analysis from investors.
While the company declared a significant interim dividend and reported revenue growth, standalone and consolidated profits for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, were lower compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the auditor highlighted the over-indebtedness of a subsidiary, Estima AG, which introduces a degree of concern despite mitigation efforts.
KDDL Limited's Board of Directors met on November 10, 2025, and approved the following: * Unaudited financial results (Standalone and Consolidated) for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2025. * Declaration of an Interim Dividend of ₹15 per equity share (150%) on the face value of ₹10 each. * The Record Date for determining eligible shareholders for the interim dividend has been fixed as Friday, November 14, 2025.
Key financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (all figures in Lakhs): * Standalone Performance: * Revenue from operations: ₹12,266. * Profit for the period: ₹1,444. * Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS): ₹11.75. * Consolidated Performance: * Revenue from operations: ₹51,672. * Profit for the period: ₹3,166. * Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS): ₹15.73.
The company also provided updates on its investments: * In the quarter ended June 30, 2025, KDDL invested ₹160 lakh to acquire 80% shareholding in Artisan Watch Products Private Limited. * During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, KDDL invested ₹199.04 lakh to acquire 11,058 Rights Equity Shares of ETHOS Limited, increasing its direct and indirect shareholding to 50.12%.
The Independent Auditor's Review Report on Consolidated Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results included an Emphasis of Matter regarding Estima AG, a subsidiary. It noted that Estima AG is over-indebted as per Swiss Code of Obligation, but creditors have subordinated claims amounting to CHF 11,373,000. New subordinated loans of CHF 300,000 will be created by KIHL as of November 2025 to further address this situation.
