According to the latest unaudited standalone financial results approved by the board of directors on August 13, 2026, Sakthi Sugars reported a net loss of ₹18.3 lakh in Q1 FY27, compared to a net loss of ₹11 lakh during the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. The company's revenue from operations increased significantly by 24.6% to ₹376.9 crore in Q1 FY27, up from ₹302.4 crore recorded in Q1 FY26. The results were reviewed by statutory auditors P.N. Raghavendra Rao & Co.
As reported in the latest financial results, the company's sales revenue increased by 24.6% to ₹376.9 crore in Q1 FY27, compared to ₹302.4 crore recorded in the same quarter of the previous financial year. This substantial revenue growth was driven by stronger sales across the sugar and power segments, with the sugar segment contributing ₹342.8 crore to revenue, up from ₹247.3 crore in Q1 FY25. However, the sugar segment reported a pre-tax loss of ₹29.5 lakh, contrasting with a profit of ₹30.2 lakh in the previous year.
According to the latest segment-wise performance data, the power segment remained the primary profit driver, reporting revenue of ₹92.9 crore and a segment result of ₹220.5 lakh profit, compared to ₹77.3 crore in revenue and ₹116.2 lakh profit in Q1 FY25. The industrial alcohol segment generated ₹50.9 crore in revenue, yielding a segment result of ₹13.8 lakh profit. However, the sugar segment faced challenges with a pre-tax loss of ₹29.5 lakh, contrasting with a profit of ₹30.2 lakh in the previous year. The company also reported other income of ₹44.7 lakh, a decline from ₹80.3 lakh recorded in the final quarter of FY26.
The latest results reveal significant pressure on margins despite revenue growth, with total expenses climbing to ₹383.8 crore from ₹307.9 crore in the prior year period, representing a 24.7% increase. Finance costs increased slightly to ₹24.2 crore from ₹23.4 crore in Q4 FY26, while employee benefit expenses rose to ₹16.6 crore. A key divergence in the data is the impact of inventory changes, which added ₹42.0 crore to costs in Q1 FY27, contrasting with inventory changes that had reduced costs by ₹73.4 crore in Q4 FY26. This shift, combined with higher material consumption costs of ₹215.5 crore versus ₹222.3 crore in Q4 FY26, highlights the pressure on margins despite revenue growth.
The board of directors approved the unaudited standalone financial results and segment-wise performance during the August 13, 2026 meeting. The company also convened its 64th Annual General Meeting for September 25, 2026, via video conferencing. STR & Associates was appointed as Cost Auditors for FY27.
