Somi Conveyor Beltings Q4 FY26 profit down 34%, sales -29%

Introduction: Q4 FY26 numbers show a sharp slowdown

Somi Conveyor Beltings Ltd reported weaker standalone results for the quarter ended March 2026 (Q4 FY26), with net sales and profit declining on both a year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter basis. The company’s March-quarter performance matters because it marks a clear break from the strong December 2025 quarter in the same financial year. Reported data shows that demand and execution translated into lower revenues, which then flowed through to operating profit and net profit. The company’s quarterly trends also sit alongside a near-flat full-year revenue outcome, indicating that the March quarter was a key drag on FY26 momentum. Alongside financials, the dataset also includes market performance indicators such as recent share returns and EPS metrics. These numbers collectively provide investors a clean snapshot of how FY26 ended for the company.

Q4 FY26 snapshot: sales, profit, EPS

For the quarter ended March 2026, Somi Conveyor Beltings posted net sales of Rs 17.29 crore. Profit after tax (PAT) came in at Rs 0.59 crore, while adjusted EPS stood at Rs 0.50. Operating profit for the quarter was Rs 1.94 crore, with total expenditure reported at Rs 15.35 crore. The data also reports quarterly net income of Rs 0.588 crore (equivalent to Rs 5.88 million) and quarterly sales of Rs 17.292 crore (equivalent to Rs 172.92 million), consistent with the quarter’s headline sales and profit figures.

QoQ comparison: March 2026 vs December 2025

Quarter-on-quarter, the fall was steep. Net sales declined from Rs 37.48 crore in Dec 2025 to Rs 17.29 crore in Mar 2026. Operating profit dropped from Rs 3.81 crore to Rs 1.94 crore over the same period. PAT declined from Rs 2.38 crore in Dec 2025 to Rs 0.59 crore in Mar 2026.

The quarterly highlight figures in the source also quantify these changes: revenue down 53.47% QoQ, operating profit down 59.62% QoQ, and profit down 75.21% QoQ. While the absolute numbers already show the magnitude of the drop, these percentages underline how sharply the March quarter cooled after the December quarter peak.

YoY comparison: March 2026 vs March 2025

On a year-on-year basis, the company reported net sales of Rs 17.29 crore in Mar 2026, down 28.81% from Rs 24.29 crore in Mar 2025. PAT fell 34.49% from Rs 0.90 crore to Rs 0.59 crore. EPS declined to Rs 0.50 in Mar 2026 from Rs 0.76 in Mar 2025.

The dataset also notes “Quarterly Earnings Growth YOY” at -34.44, aligning with the reported decline in net profit compared with the same quarter last year.

Costs and operating line: expenditure and operating profit

In Q4 FY26, total expenditure stood at Rs 15.35 crore, compared with Rs 33.67 crore in Dec 2025 and Rs 22.07 crore in Mar 2025. With sales dropping more sharply than costs between Dec 2025 and Mar 2026, operating profit contracted to Rs 1.94 crore from Rs 3.81 crore.

A cost breakup provided for the March quarter includes consumption of raw materials at Rs 8.27 crore, increase or decrease in stocks at Rs 2.05 crore, and employees cost at Rs 1.23 crore. Depreciation is separately listed at Rs 0.44 crore for Mar 2026, versus Rs 0.36 crore in Dec 2025 and Rs 0.40 crore in Mar 2025.

Below operating line: other income, interest, tax

Other income in Mar 2026 was Rs 0.20 crore, up from Rs 0.11 crore in Dec 2025 and Rs 0.12 crore in Mar 2025. Interest cost was reported at Rs 0.41 crore in Mar 2026, compared with Rs 0.39 crore in Dec 2025 and Rs 0.54 crore in Mar 2025.

Profit before tax (PBT) was Rs 1.28 crore in Mar 2026 versus Rs 3.17 crore in Dec 2025 and Rs 1.40 crore in Mar 2025. The March 2026 tax charge was Rs 0.69 crore, higher than Rs 0.50 crore in Mar 2025, despite lower PBT. This contributed to a lower PAT outcome for Q4 FY26.

EBITDA trend: modest YoY decline, but weaker quarter

The dataset reports EBITDA of Rs 2.14 crore in March 2026, down 8.55% from Rs 2.34 crore in March 2025. Separately, an EBITDA value of Rs 99.38 million is also shown, which normalises to Rs 9.94 crore. Since the context for the Rs 9.94 crore figure is not specified alongside the quarterly P&L table, the quarter-specific EBITDA trend is best tracked using the March 2026 and March 2025 numbers stated with the Q4 results.

Full-year FY26: revenue nearly flat, profit lower

For the year ended March 2026, sales were reported at Rs 100.74 crore, marginally lower by 0.49% from Rs 101.24 crore in the year ended March 2025. Net profit for the full year declined 8.38% to Rs 5.03 crore in FY26 from Rs 5.49 crore in FY25.

This combination indicates that while full-year revenues were largely stable, profitability weakened, and the March-quarter slowdown played a meaningful role in the year-end outcome.

Stock and valuation indicators mentioned in the dataset

The data notes that Somi Conveyor shares closed at Rs 110.87 on May 19, 2026 (NSE). It also states the stock delivered -20.61% returns over the last six months and -40.93% over the last 12 months from that reference point. Dividend yield is listed at 0.00%.

On earnings metrics, the source reports EPS (TTM) of 4.27, while the March 2026 quarter EPS is shown at 0.50 (adjusted). These figures reflect different measurement windows, with the trailing twelve-month EPS capturing a longer period compared to a single quarter.

Market impact: what changed in Q4 FY26

The most direct market-relevant change is the sharp QoQ revenue contraction from Rs 37.48 crore to Rs 17.29 crore, which reduced operating profit and net profit. PAT dropped to Rs 0.59 crore in Mar 2026 from Rs 2.38 crore in the immediately preceding quarter. Despite slightly higher other income in Mar 2026, the combination of lower operating profit, interest cost of Rs 0.41 crore, and a tax charge of Rs 0.69 crore resulted in weaker bottom-line delivery.

From an investor lens, the dataset’s reported negative stock returns over six and 12 months sit alongside weaker Q4 profitability, providing context on why sentiment may have remained cautious during the period covered by the data.

Key quarterly numbers at a glance

Conclusion: focus stays on recovery after a weak March quarter

Somi Conveyor Beltings ended FY26 with a sharp March-quarter decline, as net sales fell to Rs 17.29 crore and PAT to Rs 0.59 crore, compared with a much stronger Dec 2025 quarter. For the full year, sales were almost flat at Rs 100.74 crore, but net profit slipped to Rs 5.03 crore. With the dataset noting that no concall information is available for the company, investors tracking the next phase will likely rely on subsequent quarterly disclosures for clarity on operational performance and profitability trends.
