Denta Water and Infra Solutions Q1 Profit Falls 40% Year-on-Year

Denta Water and Infra Solutions Limited reported Q1 FY27 net income of ₹11.17 crore, down 40% from ₹18.55 crore a year earlier, while revenue fell 9.4% to ₹60.97 crore. The result is significant because the water infrastructure company is approaching its Q2 and first-half FY27 earnings discussion amid differing dates in the supplied disclosures.

What did Denta Water report for Q1 FY27?

Denta Water reported earnings per share of ₹4.18 for the June 2026 quarter, compared with ₹6.95 in Q1 FY26. Revenue was reported at ₹60.97 crore, converted from ₹609.7 million, while net income was ₹11.17 crore, converted from ₹111.7 million. The company’s net income declined 40% year-on-year and revenue declined 9.4% on the same basis.

Other supplied quarterly data describe Q1 FY27 revenue as ₹58.7 crore, down 12.8% year-on-year and up 6.1% quarter-on-quarter, with net profit of ₹11.2 crore and operating margin of 22.4%. These figures are close to, but not identical with, the separately stated ₹60.97 crore revenue figure. The source material does not explain the difference, and investors should rely on the company’s exchange filing for the final reported classification.

The quarterly decline followed a stronger comparative base. The historical quarterly table records June 2025 net sales turnover of ₹67.28 crore and reported profit after tax of ₹18.55 crore. It also shows operating profit of ₹22.46 crore for that period.

When will Denta Water discuss Q2 and H1 FY27 results?

Denta Water has announced an earnings conference call for 16 November 2026 at 12:00 noon IST to discuss Q2 and H1 FY27 performance. The company invited investors to register for the call, which is expected to provide management’s commentary on quarterly operations and its outlook.

The supplied announcements also state that the board was scheduled to meet on 6 November 2026 to consider Q2 FY27 standalone and consolidated results. Since the Q2 FY27 period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026, the board meeting is the key corporate event associated with the results process.

However, the supplied material contains conflicting statements on the results date. One item says the company will report Q2 FY27 results on 16 November, while another says the Q2 date had not been confirmed as of 15 September 2026. The later call announcement and board-meeting intimation provide the clearest schedule in the material: a 6 November board meeting followed by a 16 November investor call.

How does Q1 compare with Denta Water’s previous performance?

Denta Water’s Q1 FY27 earnings were lower than the prior-year June quarter, both in revenue and profit. Net income of ₹11.17 crore was below the ₹18.55 crore reported in June 2025, while the stated revenue range of ₹58.7 crore to ₹60.97 crore was below June 2025 net sales of ₹67.28 crore.

The Q2 FY27 comparison base is also important. The supplied preview cites Q2 FY26 revenue of ₹74 crore and profit of ₹19 crore for the September 2025 quarter. These figures set the year-on-year benchmark for the upcoming September 2026 results.

What targets has Denta Water set for FY27?

Denta Water has stated targets of 20% revenue growth in FY27, EBITDA margin above 35%, and PAT margin above 25%. It has also identified expansion into five new states and normalisation of its working-capital cycle from 95 to 120 days as operational priorities.

The source material also cites FY2025-26 revenue of ₹2,503.79 crore, EBITDA of ₹834.87 crore, and PAT of ₹609 crore. It separately states an order book of ₹728 crore, equivalent to 2.9 times trailing-twelve-month revenue. These data points come from different supplied summaries and should be read alongside the company’s annual report and audited financial statements.

Management has said it remains focused on timely project delivery, disciplined capital allocation and sustained execution in India’s water infrastructure sector. For a project-led business, the timing of execution, billing and collection can affect reported quarterly revenue, margins and cash conversion.

Why do the Q2 results matter for investors?

The Q2 results matter because they will show whether the Q1 year-on-year decline was limited to one quarter or continued into the September period. Investors can compare revenue and profit with the ₹74 crore and ₹19 crore bases reported for Q2 FY26, while also examining operating margins and any exceptional items disclosed in the accounts.

The supplied preview identifies operating margin against the Q1 FY27 level of 22.0% as a point to watch. The quarterly summary instead reports a 22.4% operating margin, another small variation in the available data. The official results filing and earnings call are therefore relevant for confirming the company’s operating metrics.

The timing of disclosures is also relevant. The material notes that Indian listing rules require September-quarter results within 45 days of quarter-end, placing the stated outer deadline at 14 November 2026. The announced 16 November call may therefore be a post-results discussion rather than the results publication itself.

Conclusion

Denta Water’s reported Q1 FY27 performance showed a marked year-on-year reduction in profitability, with net income of ₹11.17 crore falling 40% and revenue reported at ₹60.97 crore. The company enters the Q2 reporting cycle against a higher prior-year base of ₹74 crore in revenue and ₹19 crore in profit, making the next filing important for assessing execution and margin trends.

Investors should watch the outcome of the 6 November board meeting, the formal Q2 FY27 exchange filing, and management’s comments on the 16 November earnings call. The key disclosed reference points are the company’s FY27 targets for 20% revenue growth, EBITDA margin above 35%, PAT margin above 25%, five-state expansion and working-capital-cycle normalisation.
