Univest: Essen Speciality Films reports Q2 FY27 net loss of rs 0.28 crore

Essen Speciality Films reported a standalone net loss of Rs 0.28 crore for the quarter ending September 2026, dropping sharply from a net profit of Rs 5.19 crore during the same period last year.

Standalone Revenue Decline and Profit Compression in Q2 FY27

The latest filing for the July to September 2026 quarter details a stark reversal from the prior year’s performance. Essen Speciality Films recorded Rs 28.91 crore in revenue, marking a substantial drop from the Rs 48.35 crore reported in Q2 FY26. This 40.21 percent reduction serves as the primary driver behind the quarter’s overall financial downturn.

Profitability indicators followed a similarly downward trajectory. The net profit of Rs -0.28 crore contrasts sharply with the Rs 5.19 crore net profit achieved a year earlier. Consequently, the net profit margin contracted to -1.0 percent, down from 10.7 percent in the comparison quarter. Return on equity previously stood at -2.70 percent in FY26.

Financial Metric Q2 FY27 (Sep 26) Q2 FY26 (Sep 25) YoY Change
Revenue Rs 28.91 Cr Rs 48.35 Cr -40.21%
Net Profit (PAT) Rs -0.28 Cr Rs 5.19 Cr -105.39%
