Le Merite Exports Q1 FY27: Reports Loss Due to Unrealized FVTPL Impact, Appoints New Director
Le Merite Exports reported a Q1 FY27 loss of ₹425.76 lakh (standalone) due to ₹1,106.41 lakh unrealized FVTPL loss. Underlying PBT was ₹596.22 lakh. Ms. Kusum Naruka was appointed as Additional Director, and Mr. Rohit Agarwal resigned as Independent Director, both effective August 14, 2026.
The appointment of a new director and the resignation of an existing one are material changes in corporate governance. The financial results, despite being impacted by accounting adjustments, are significant for investors.
The company reported a net loss due to unrealized fair-value adjustments on investments, which is a non-operating, market-linked accounting impact. While the reported numbers are negative, the underlying operational profitability remains positive, making the overall sentiment neutral.
Le Merite Exports Limited announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held on August 14, 2026. The Board approved the Unaudited Financial Results (Standalone and Consolidated) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported a loss after tax of ₹425.76 lakh on a standalone basis and ₹457.53 lakh on a consolidated basis. This reported 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), as per Ind AS 109.
Excluding this unrealized fair-value impact, the company demonstrated positive underlying profitability. The standalone Profit Before Tax (PBT) before the FVTPL fair-value movement was ₹596.22 lakh, and the adjusted Profit After Tax (PAT) was ₹496.50 lakh. Similarly, for consolidated results, the underlying PBT before the FVTPL fair-value movement was ₹541.97 lakh, and the adjusted PAT was ₹496.50 lakh.
In terms of corporate actions, the Board approved the appointment of Ms. Kusum Naruka as an Additional Director (Non-Executive, Independent Director) for a term of 5 years, effective August 14, 2026, subject to shareholder approval. Concurrently, Mr. Rohit Agarwal resigned as an Independent Director, effective August 14, 2026, citing personal and professional engagements. The company confirmed there were no material reasons for his resignation beyond those stated.
The company also noted that during the period, it had sub-divided its equity shares in the ratio of 1:5, with a record date of May 29, 2026. The financial results and EPS have been adjusted retrospectively for this share split.
