The company reported a standalone profit before tax of ₹1,926 lakhs for FY26, down from ₹3,175 lakhs in FY25. Consolidated results showed a net loss of ₹7,994 lakhs for FY26, a significant decrease from a profit of ₹8,702 lakhs in FY25, impacted by associate losses.
The announcement pertains to the audited financial results for the full financial year, including consolidated figures, which are material to investors. The significant shift from profit to loss in consolidated results is a critical factor impacting investor decisions.
The company reported a significant decline in consolidated profitability, moving from a profit to a substantial loss for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. While standalone results also saw a decrease in profit before tax, the consolidated figures are more concerning due to the impact of associate losses.
Universus Photo Imagings Limited (formerly JINDAL PHOTO IMAGING LIMITED) announced the outcome of its Board of Directors meeting held on May 29, 2026. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has approved the Audited Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and the Financial Year ended March 31, 2026, for both standalone and consolidated statements.
The company's statutory auditors, M/s Suresh Kumar Mittal & Co., have provided an Unmodified opinion on these Audited Financial Results. Mr. Shailendra Sinha, Managing Director, has also furnished a declaration confirming this unmodified opinion.
The financial results indicate a significant shift in profitability. For the standalone results, profit before tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, stood at ₹139 lakhs, a decrease from ₹430 lakhs in the previous quarter and ₹943 lakhs in the same quarter of the previous year. For the full financial year ended March 31, 2026, profit before tax was ₹1,926 lakhs, down from ₹3,175 lakhs in the previous year.
Consolidated results show a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, of ₹1,307 lakhs, a notable decline from a profit of ₹714 lakhs in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. For the full financial year, the consolidated net loss was ₹7,994 lakhs, a substantial increase from a profit of ₹8,702 lakhs in the previous year. This is largely attributed to the share of losses from associates, amounting to ₹9,920 lakhs for the year.
The company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS). A key note highlights that the audit of the financial statements of the foreign associate, JPF Netherlands B.V., was in progress and unaudited figures were used for consolidation, representing over 20% of the consolidated assets and profits/losses. This situation is noted with an emphasis of matter by the auditors.
