Gujarat Ambuja Exports Q1 FY27 profit up 171% to ₹177 cr

Strong start to FY27 for the agro-processor

Gujarat Ambuja Exports Limited reported a sharp rise in profitability for the first quarter of FY27, supported by higher revenue and improved operating performance. The Ahmedabad-based agro-processing company released its unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Standalone net profit after tax jumped to ₹176.93 crore from ₹65.40 crore in Q1 FY26. On a consolidated basis, net profit was ₹176.77 crore versus ₹65.02 crore a year ago. The company also reported a strong expansion in EBITDA and margins for the quarter.

Key profit numbers: PAT, PBT and EPS all rise

The company’s profit before tax (PBT) for Q1 FY27 came in at ₹235.44 crore, significantly higher than ₹86.05 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This rise in pre-tax profit was mirrored in earnings per share. Basic EPS for the quarter was ₹3.86 compared with ₹1.43 in Q1 FY26. The year-on-year jump in profit and EPS indicates a materially improved earnings profile in the quarter based on reported figures. The company’s disclosure also points to a strong operating performance, as reflected in EBITDA growth and margin expansion.

Revenue grows over last year; income crosses ₹1,633 crore

On the topline, Gujarat Ambuja Exports reported revenue from operations of ₹1,594.27 crore for Q1 FY27. This was up from ₹1,291.23 crore in Q1 FY26, reflecting a 23.5% year-on-year increase as per the company’s disclosed comparison. Total income for the quarter stood at ₹1,633.40 crore, compared with ₹1,321.81 crore in the year-ago period. The increase in income provides the base for higher operating leverage in a quarter where profitability rose far faster than revenue.

Expenses rise, but profit growth outpaces cost increase

Total expenses for Q1 FY27 were reported at ₹1,397.96 crore, up from ₹1,235.76 crore in Q1 FY26. That represents a 13.1% year-on-year increase in expenses based on the comparison shared with the results. Even with higher costs, the growth in profit before tax and net profit suggests improved operating efficiency during the quarter. The difference between revenue growth and expense growth is also consistent with the margin expansion disclosed through EBITDA metrics.

EBITDA nearly doubles and margins expand

For Q1 FY27, EBITDA was reported at ₹200 crore, compared with ₹96.3 crore in Q1 FY26. The company stated that EBITDA margin expanded to 14.55% from 7.46% in the same quarter last year. This is one of the clearest indicators in the release that profitability improved not only because revenue grew, but also because operating margins strengthened meaningfully. The margin expansion is also aligned with the steep rise in PBT and PAT.

Standalone and consolidated results: what changed

The Q1 FY27 release includes both standalone and consolidated performance. Standalone net profit after tax was ₹176.93 crore, while consolidated net profit after tax was ₹176.77 crore. In Q1 FY26, standalone net profit stood at ₹65.40 crore and consolidated net profit was ₹65.02 crore. The proximity of standalone and consolidated profits in both periods suggests that the consolidated perimeter does not materially alter the reported net profit figure for the quarter, based on the data disclosed.

Auditor review and filing details

The company stated that the financial statements were reviewed by Kantilal Patel & Co., the independent auditor. The auditor issued a limited review report and confirmed that there were no material misstatements. The filing also noted that complete financial statements are available on the company’s website. The results were described as unaudited for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
