Linc Limited has released the transcript of its Post Earnings (Group Conference) Call held on February 12, 2026. The call featured insights from Whole-Time Director Rohit Deepak Jalan and Director Finance & CFO N.K. Dujari.
During the call, Rohit Deepak Jalan highlighted a mixed operating environment for Q3 FY26, with modest top-line growth of 5.8% to INR129.29 crore and continued margin pressures. The company's strategy focuses on strengthening its product portfolio and building long-term growth drivers, with new products showing positive early traction. International initiatives and joint ventures are progressing steadily. The joint venture with Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Japan, is stable with an encouraging market response to its new product. Operations with the Turkish partner have commenced and are stable, with a promising order book for 2026. The subsidiary with Morris Korea is linked to the Bengal manufacturing facility, now expected to be operational by Q1 FY27. Sales momentum is picking up in Kenya subsidiaries, and the Linc On subsidiary is expected to gain more traction from the next financial year. While some initiatives have taken longer than anticipated, the company believes the foundation is solid for sustainable growth.
N.K. Dujari provided financial updates, stating that operating income for Q3 FY26 was INR129.29 crore, a 5.8% year-on-year growth. Operating EBITDA was INR12.9 crore (10% margin), impacted by a one-time increase in employee benefit expenses. Excluding this, the margin would have been 10.7%. Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at INR6.77 crore (5.2% margin), a 191 basis points contraction due to lower operating margins and joint venture losses of INR83 lakh. The company generated INR33.81 crore in cash flow from operations and closed the period with a net free cash position of INR10.14 crore. Asset productivity remained healthy with a fixed asset turnover of 4.05x, and the cash conversion cycle improved to 61 days from 63 days in FY25. During the Q&A, it was clarified that the volume for the quarter was 16.4 crore pens, with Pentonic volume at 6.5 crore. The sales growth was impacted by a change in product mix, with a focus on products below INR5. Export revenue remained around 20% of total revenue. The response to new products like markers has been encouraging, with gradual scaling up of capacity and market expansion planned.
