Linc Limited announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, on February 11, 2026. The company reported a total income of ₹13,151 lacs for Q3 FY26, a 6.4% increase year-on-year from ₹12,355 lacs in Q3 FY25. However, EBITDA for the quarter stood at ₹1,512 lacs, a decrease of 5.5% compared to ₹1,599 lacs in the same period last year, with EBITDA margin at 11.5% versus 12.9% YoY.
Profit After Tax (PAT) for Q3 FY26 was ₹677 lacs, a decline of 22.3% from ₹872 lacs in Q3 FY25. The PAT margin also contracted to 5.2% from 7.1% YoY. Earnings Per Share (EPS) stood at ₹1.15 in Q3 FY26, down from ₹1.47 in Q3 FY25.
Mr. Deepak Jalan, Managing Director of Linc Limited, commented that the quarter reflected a mixed operating environment with modest topline growth and continued margin pressures. He attributed the EBITDA margin contraction partly to a one-time increase in employee benefit expenses and losses from joint ventures amounting to ₹83 lacs. These joint ventures, including collaborations with Mitsubishi Pencil Co. (Japan) and a Turkish partner, are in their investment phase but are showing progress with product launches and operational stability.
The company's subsidiary with Morris (Korea) is linked to its upcoming Bengal manufacturing facility, expected to be operational by Q1 FY27. The Kenya subsidiary is showing a pickup in sales momentum. Linc Limited's focus remains on strengthening its product portfolio, innovation, brand relevance, and distribution reach, with expectations of improved performance as strategic initiatives gain traction.
