Linc Limited Q1 FY27 Income Stable at ₹13,940 Lakhs, PAT Declines 17.6%
Linc Limited reported Q1 FY27 results with total income at ₹13,940 lakhs, up 0.9% YoY. PAT declined 17.6% to ₹581 lakhs, with EPS at ₹0.98. EBITDA stood at ₹1,254 lakhs, impacted by rising polymer prices. E-commerce and General Trade showed growth, while Corporate Sales and Exports declined.
The results show mixed performance with stable top-line but declining profitability due to external factors like rising raw material costs. The impact is medium as it affects profitability, but the company has strategies to manage it.
The company reported stable total income but a decline in profitability (PAT and EBITDA) due to rising input costs. While some segments showed growth, others faced headwinds, leading to a neutral sentiment.
Linc Limited announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of the Financial Year 2026-27 (Q1 FY27), with the Board of Directors taking on record the results on August 6, 2026.
Total income for the quarter stood at ₹13,940 lakhs, a marginal year-on-year growth of 0.9%. This stable performance was achieved amidst an uncertain operating environment. Corporate sales declined by 14% and exports decreased by 3% due to geopolitical uncertainties. However, General Trade grew by 8% and e-commerce showed strong momentum with 32% growth, supported by sustained demand and the contribution from Linc On, the e-commerce focused subsidiary.
EBITDA for the quarter was ₹1,254 lakhs, with an EBITDA margin of 9.0%. This represents a year-on-year contraction of 139 basis points, primarily attributed to an increase in polymer prices, the principal raw material, driven by supply constraints and higher crude oil prices. The company plans to pass through these higher input costs gradually over the coming quarters while focusing on disciplined cost management.
Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at ₹581 lakhs, a decrease of 17.6% compared to Q1 FY26, resulting in a PAT margin of 4.2%. Earnings Per Share (EPS) was ₹0.98, down from ₹1.18 in the same period last year.
Looking ahead, Linc Limited expects elevated polymer prices to remain a near-term consideration but anticipates these pressures to ease progressively. The company's international growth initiatives, including the joint venture UniLinc with Mitsubishi Pencil Co., operations in Türkiye, and the subsidiary with Morris of Korea (manufacturing facility expected by Q3 FY27), are progressing. Sales momentum at the Kenya subsidiary is improving, and Linc On is expected to gain momentum.
Net Debt stood at ₹(1,194) lakhs in June 2026, compared to ₹(686) lakhs in March 2026. The Net Debt to EBITDA ratio was (0.24) in June 2026.
