What did Rolex Rings complete in the September 2026 quarter?

Rolex Rings completed the repurchase of 1 crore equity shares in the quarter ended September 30, 2026, at the approved price of Rs 180 per share. The Board approved the proposal on April 23, 2026, and shareholders approved it through a postal ballot on May 31, 2026. The approved maximum consideration for the shares was Rs 180 crore.

The completed quantity represented 3.76% of paid-up equity share capital when the proposal was approved. The buyback was available to eligible equity shareholders other than Rolex Rings' promoters, promoter group and persons in control. The filing says the transaction was undertaken under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Buy-back of Securities) Regulations, 2018, the Companies Act, 2013, and associated rules.

Rolex Rings bought back the full 1 crore shares authorised rather than an amount below the approved ceiling. At Rs 180 a share, the share consideration was Rs 180 crore. The company separately reported Rs 2.146 crore of transaction costs, taking cash outflow for the completed transaction to Rs 182.146 crore.

How was Rolex Rings' buyback recorded and funded?

Rolex Rings used Rs 179 crore from share premium and Rs 2.146 crore from retained earnings for the buyback accounting treatment and related transaction costs. Those two allocations total Rs 181.146 crore, while the cash-flow statement records the full Rs 182.146 crore payment towards buyback of equity shares, including transaction costs, for the half year ended September 30, 2026.

The company also created a capital redemption reserve of Rs 1 crore from retained earnings, representing the nominal value of the bought-back shares. This reserve is included in other reserves and is separate from the reported Rs 182.146 crore cash outflow. Rolex Rings stated that the paid-up share capital reduced by Rs 1 crore after the buyback.

The source classifies the buyback payment as a financing cash flow for the half year ended September 30, 2026. Net cash used in financing activities was Rs 183.08 crore, including Rs 0.934 crore of interest paid. In the half year ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was Rs 14.995 crore, and the filing did not report a comparable buyback payment in that period.

How did the buyback change Rolex Rings' equity capital?

Rolex Rings' paid-up equity share capital was Rs 26.233 crore at September 30, 2026, compared with Rs 27.233 crore at March 31, 2026. The Rs 1 crore reduction matches the nominal value of the 1 crore shares bought back, as stated in the September 30 financial-results notes.
