Kanco Tea & Industries delivered robust financial performance in the June 2026 quarter, with standalone net profit rising 11% to ₹2.35 crore compared to ₹2.11 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company also reported consolidated net profit of ₹2.50 crore, up from ₹2.23 crore in Q1 FY2026. According to the latest financial results approved by the Board of Directors on August 7, 2026, this growth demonstrates the company's operational efficiency and market positioning during the quarter. However, the company faces significant operational disruptions following a major flood event in July 2026 that damaged the Bamonpookrie estate, halting factory operations while plucking has resumed.
The company's revenue from operations increased 12.5% to ₹14.76 crore in Q1 FY2027, up from ₹13.12 crore in the same period last year. Total revenue on a standalone basis reached ₹15.21 crore, including other income of ₹45 lakh. As reported in the latest financial results, employee benefits expense remained the largest cost component at ₹11.86 crore, reflecting stable workforce costs during the harvest period. Finance costs increased slightly to ₹1.30 crore from ₹1.11 crore in the prior year quarter. The primary driver of profitability was the expansion in revenue from operations, which outpaced the growth in total expenses, leading to a modest but clear improvement in pre-tax margins.
The company disclosed material operational risks following a massive flood that inundated the Bamonpookrie Tea Estate on July 20, 2026, causing significant damage to residential quarters, staff housing, the factory, and other critical infrastructure. According to the latest company disclosure, plucking activities resumed on July 27, 2026, but factory operations remain suspended pending the cleaning and repair of machinery. The affected property, finished goods stock, and stores are insured subject to policy deductibles and limits. Management stated that the financial impact of the flood cannot be reliably estimated at present, introducing uncertainty for subsequent quarters. The company operates under a single reportable segment—tea—and did not provide segment-wise disclosures under Ind AS-108.
Profit Before Tax (PBT) increased 17% to ₹2.51 crore on a standalone basis in Q1 FY2027 from ₹2.16 crore in the previous year. Consolidated PBT rose 13% to ₹2.66 crore from ₹2.28 crore in Q1 FY2026. The Profit Before Depreciation and Tax (PBDT) rose 13% to ₹3.30 crore during the quarter, indicating strong operational performance. Earnings per share (EPS) on a standalone basis rose to ₹4.59 from ₹4.12 in the previous year, while consolidated EPS increased to ₹4.88 from ₹4.35. The consolidated results include a share of profit of ₹15 lakh from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Winnow Investments and Securities Private Limited, indicating minimal contribution from non-tea investments in this quarter.
