Linc Limited reports steady Q2 FY26 results with 3% revenue growth; PAT dips due to JV losses, management optimistic
Linc Limited reported Q2 FY26 results with 3% revenue growth. PAT declined 3.7% due to JV losses. Management is optimistic about new products and strategic partnerships, expecting future growth.
The announcement includes quarterly financial results, which are significant for investors. The mixed financial performance, coupled with strategic updates and a forward-looking optimistic management commentary, suggests a medium impact on the company's outlook.
While revenue grew, PAT declined due to losses from early-stage joint ventures. However, management expressed strong confidence in future growth from new products and strategic initiatives, indicating a transitional phase.
Linc Limited announced its financial results for the quarter and half year ended 30th September 2025, on 8th November 2025. Key highlights include: * Total Income for Q2 FY26 stood at ₹14,137 Lacs, a 3.0% increase year-on-year (YoY) from ₹13,728 Lacs in Q2 FY25. * EBITDA increased by 10.3% YoY to ₹1,797 Lacs, with an EBITDA Margin of 12.7% (up 84 basis points). * Profit After Tax (PAT) for Q2 FY26 was ₹846 Lacs, a decrease of 3.7% YoY from ₹879 Lacs in Q2 FY25. PAT Margin was 6.0%. * Earnings Per Share (EPS) was ₹1.42, down from ₹1.48 in the prior year's quarter. * For the half year (H1 FY26), Total Income grew 4.0% YoY to ₹27,956 Lacs, while PAT declined by 9.9% to ₹1,551 Lacs.
Mr. Deepak Jalan, Managing Director, commented that Q2 FY26 was steady despite a 3.7% dip in net profit, primarily due to ₹167.75 Lacs in losses from early-stage joint ventures, which are viewed as transitional. He acknowledged moderate topline growth but emphasized the business's resilience and sound fundamentals, expressing confidence that new product launches, like the SWYPE marker range and Pentonic mechanical pencil, will contribute meaningfully in coming quarters.
Strategic initiatives are progressing: * The joint venture with Mitsubishi Pencil Co. (Japan) commenced operations in October 2025, launching a new ₹20 ball pen for Indian and ASEAN markets. * The Bengal manufacturing facility, linked to the JV with Morris (Korea), is on track to become operational in Q4 FY26. * The JV with a Turkish partner is advancing, and efforts continue for the Kenya subsidiary despite a slower start.
Net Debt / EBITDA was (0.20) in September 2025, and Free Cash stood at ₹1,304 Lacs.
