Strengths

  • Revenue from operations grew to ₹36,346.53 lakh in FY26 from ₹31,279.08 lakh in FY25, with sales coming from manufactured products.
  • Profit for the year rose to ₹1,855.37 lakh from ₹1,557.20 lakh, and earnings per share moved to ₹38.33 from ₹32.17.
  • Leverage is coming down. The debt equity ratio improved to 0.22 from 0.34, and finance costs fell to ₹273.86 lakh from ₹458.88 lakh.
  • Net worth increased to ₹12,779.93 lakh from ₹10,997.17 lakh, mostly through retained profits in reserves.
  • The company owns its factory assets. Property, plant and equipment stood at ₹12,635.54 lakh, and capital work in progress of ₹596.59 lakh shows fresh investment.
  • The company pays a dividend of ₹72.61 lakh a year and the debt service coverage ratio rose to 3.02 from 2.31.

Risks

  • Marketing spend is large. Advertisement and marketing expenses rose to ₹4,286.35 lakh from ₹3,022.53 lakh, faster than revenue.
  • Raw material costs are the biggest expense. Cost of materials consumed and goods resold was ₹20,143.54 lakh in FY26, so spice and pulse price swings can hit margins.
  • Profit before tax of ₹2,448.15 lakh included other income of ₹379.94 lakh, of which ₹299.28 lakh was profit on sale of assets, which may not repeat.
  • Cash and cash equivalents fell to ₹59.93 lakh from ₹361.78 lakh, while borrowings remain at ₹1,356.68 lakh long term and ₹1,434.74 lakh short term.
  • Inventories rose to ₹4,531.06 lakh from ₹3,843.82 lakh and trade receivables to ₹980.03 lakh from ₹436.04 lakh, tying up more working capital.
  • Term loans and working capital facilities are secured by personal guarantees of the directors, linking the company's finances to its promoters.
  • Export sales were only ₹13.19 lakh, so the business depends almost entirely on the domestic market.
  • The company is closely held by the Rathi family, and unlisted shares trade off-market with indicative prices and limited liquidity.
