How much did Global Ocean Logistics India’s Hong Kong subsidiary contribute?

Global Ocean Logistics India’s wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Logistics HK Limited, reported Rs 9.94 crore of total revenue, Rs 32.44 lakh of profit after tax and Rs 14.05 lakh of net cash inflow for the half year ended September 30, 2026. The subsidiary was incorporated in Hong Kong on July 2, 2026 and commenced business during the reporting period, so these figures cover its opening period rather than a full six months.

The subsidiary’s financial information was included in Global Ocean Logistics India’s first consolidated results. The statutory auditor said the subsidiary’s interim financial statements and results were not reviewed by it; the Rs 9.94 crore revenue, Rs 32.44 lakh profit after tax and Rs 14.05 lakh net cash inflow were provided by management.

The reported subsidiary revenue broadly corresponds with the difference between consolidated and standalone revenue from operations. Consolidated revenue from operations was Rs 124.90 crore for the September 2026 half year, compared with Rs 114.96 crore in the standalone statement, a difference of Rs 9.94 crore.

When did Global Ocean Logistics India begin Hong Kong operations?

Global Ocean Logistics India incorporated Universal Logistics HK Limited in Hong Kong on July 2, 2026, and said the subsidiary commenced operations during the half year ended September 30, 2026. The parent’s board approved the unaudited consolidated and standalone results on November 6, 2026.

The September 2026 half year was the first period for which Global Ocean Logistics India prepared consolidated financial results. The group incorporated the subsidiary’s financial results from the date of acquisition under Accounting Standard 21, or AS 21, which covers consolidated financial statements.

No comparative consolidated figures were presented for earlier periods. Global Ocean Logistics India cited paragraph 30 of AS 21, which allows comparative consolidated information not to be presented when consolidated results are prepared for the first time in these circumstances.

How did Global Ocean Logistics India’s financials change after consolidation?

Global Ocean Logistics India reported Rs 124.90 crore of consolidated revenue from operations, Rs 126.96 crore of total income and Rs 6.98 crore of profit after tax for the half year ended September 30, 2026. The corresponding standalone figures were Rs 114.96 crore, Rs 117.03 crore and Rs 6.66 crore, respectively.

The group’s consolidated cost of services was Rs 111.64 crore, Rs 9.56 crore above the standalone cost of Rs 102.08 crore. Employee-benefit expense was unchanged at Rs 3.06 crore in both statements, while other expenses were Rs 2.94 crore in the consolidated accounts and Rs 2.92 crore in the standalone accounts.

Consolidated profit before tax was Rs 9.24 crore, compared with standalone profit before tax of Rs 8.88 crore. Consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share were Rs 4.84, versus Rs 4.61 standalone; Global Ocean Logistics India said half-year earnings per share were calculated using weighted-average shares and were not annualised.

The group reports freight forwarding through ocean, air, road or rail transport and ancillary services as one business segment. It therefore did not disclose revenue, expenses or profit separately for the Hong Kong subsidiary by transport mode.

What does Global Ocean Logistics India’s cash flow show?

Global Ocean Logistics India ended September 30, 2026 with Rs 3.15 crore in consolidated cash and cash equivalents, down from Rs 15.40 crore at the beginning of the year. The closing balance comprised Rs 2.90 crore in bank current accounts and Rs 25.17 lakh in cash on hand.

The consolidated cash-flow statement recorded a Rs 12.25 crore net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the half year, including a Rs 3.08 crore net operating cash outflow and a Rs 9.11 crore investing cash outflow. Investing activity included Rs 7.45 crore used for current investments and Rs 1.22 crore for non-current investments.

Operating cash flow was affected by working-capital movements despite consolidated profit before tax of Rs 9.24 crore. Trade receivables increased by Rs 19.50 crore, trade payables increased by Rs 15.87 crore and other current assets increased by Rs 4.55 crore during the half year.

At September 30, 2026, consolidated trade receivables were Rs 52.09 crore and trade payables due to creditors other than micro and small enterprises were Rs 29.34 crore. The balance sheet also recorded Rs 16.75 crore in short-term loans and advances and Rs 11.21 crore in other current assets; the filing does not assign these balances between the parent and the Hong Kong subsidiary.
