What Davangere Sugar reported for Q4 FY26
Davangere Sugar Company’s latest standalone quarterly numbers for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 showed a sharp rise in net sales but limited movement in bottom-line profit. Net sales for the March 2026 quarter were reported at ₹83.82 crore, compared with ₹56.91 crore in the March 2025 quarter. The company’s quarterly net profit for March 2026 was ₹1.95 crore, marginally higher than ₹1.94 crore in the year-ago quarter. The results were part of the company’s audited financial results that were considered and approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on May 29, 2026.
Quarterly trend: sales rebound, costs rise as well
The quarter-on-quarter pattern in the reported table shows net sales at ₹82.69 crore in December 2025, rising to ₹83.82 crore in March 2026. Over the same March 2026 quarter, total expenditure was ₹75.38 crore versus ₹69.28 crore in December 2025. Operating profit for March 2026 was ₹8.45 crore, compared with ₹13.40 crore in December 2025. Other income was reported at ₹0.67 crore in March 2026, up from ₹0.62 crore in December 2025. Interest cost for March 2026 stood at ₹4.53 crore, compared with ₹6.33 crore in December 2025.
FY26: profit fell even as revenue rose
For the full year, the company reported a decline in net profit despite higher revenue. Davangere Sugar reported FY26 net profit of ₹8.51 crore (₹850.66 lakh), while revenue for FY26 was ₹238.77 crore (₹23,877.26 lakh). The company also disclosed that net profit declined 22.23% year-on-year for FY26, even as revenue increased 11.06% year-on-year.
EBITDA and EPS movement in the March 2026 quarter
Alongside net sales and profit, the company’s reported operating profitability measures moved lower year-on-year for the March quarter. EBITDA was reported at ₹9.12 crore in March 2026, down 10.94% from ₹10.24 crore in March 2025. EPS was reported at ₹0.01 for March 2026 versus ₹0.02 for March 2025. These figures indicate that while sales rose strongly, per-share earnings and EBITDA did not expand in line with revenue.

The same section also cautions that quarterly financials for this cycle were not yet fully available on one data partner and that investors should track Screener.in and NSE/BSE filings to cross-check figures.
Key numbers at a glance
Why the update matters for investors tracking small-cap sugar stocks
The numbers show a clear contrast between quarterly sales momentum and full-year profit movement. In Q4 FY26, net sales improved sharply year-on-year, but EBITDA and EPS declined, indicating that higher revenue did not translate into stronger operating profitability per unit of sales. At the annual level, the company reported higher revenue but lower profit, reinforcing the same message about profitability pressure during FY26.
The promoter pledge disclosure is also a key governance datapoint that many investors monitor, particularly in smaller companies. The company’s statement that no promoter and promoter group shares were pledged or otherwise encumbered during FY26 removes one common risk flag in promoter holding analysis.
What to watch next
The data set points to a results-season window of July-August 2026 for Q1 FY27 (indicative) and also includes an announcement date of Aug 14, 2026 in the events list. Investors tracking the next update may focus on whether revenue levels seen in the March 2026 quarter sustain, and whether EBITDA and EPS stabilise versus the year-ago period. For verified dates and detailed financial statements, the source text itself advises cross-checking the company’s NSE/BSE filings and other primary disclosures.
