Le Merite Exports Appoints Ms. Kusum Naruka as Additional Director, Mr. Rohit Agarwal Resigns
Le Merite Exports Limited appointed Ms. Kusum Naruka as Additional Director and accepted the resignation of Mr. Rohit Agarwal. The company reported a Q1 FY27 loss of ₹425.76 lakh, impacted by a ₹1,106.41 lakh unrealized fair-value loss on investments. Underlying profitability remains positive.
Board changes can impact governance and strategy. The reported financial results, while showing a net loss, are explained by accounting adjustments, suggesting a moderate impact on the company's operational outlook.
The appointment of a new director is positive, but the resignation of an existing director and the reported net loss, despite positive underlying operational performance, result in a neutral sentiment.
Le Merite Exports Limited announced key changes in its board of directors following a board meeting held on August 14, 2026. The company approved the unaudited financial results (standalone and consolidated) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, along with the auditors' limited review reports.
In significant personnel changes, Ms. Kusum Naruka (DIN: 10679553) was appointed as an Additional Director (Non-Executive, Independent Director) for a term of 5 years, effective August 14, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming General Meeting. Concurrently, Mr. Rohit Agarwal (DIN: 01924587) resigned as an Independent Director, effective August 14, 2026. Mr. Agarwal confirmed that his resignation was due to personal and professional engagements and that there were no other material reasons.
The company reported a loss after tax of ₹425.76 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This loss is primarily attributed to an unrealized fair-value loss of ₹1,106.41 lakh on investments classified as Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL), in accordance with Ind AS 109. The underlying profitability before this accounting impact shows a Profit Before Tax of ₹596.22 lakh and an Adjusted Profit After Tax of ₹496.50 lakh.
