Kerala Ayur's Latest Financials: A Deep Dive into Growth and Profitability

Well, isn't this an interesting set of numbers? Kerala Ayur, a name many of us associate with traditional wellness, has just shared its standalone financial results for the quarter that wrapped up on September 30, 2025. And honestly, looking at the year-on-year comparison, there's quite a bit to smile about, suggesting a solid upward trajectory for the company.

Let's talk about sales first, shall we? The company clocked in a net sales figure of Rs 21.29 crore for this quarter. Now, if we stack that against the same period last year – September 2024, that is – where they reported Rs 20.03 crore, we see a rather healthy bump. Specifically, that’s an increase of 6.27%, which, in today's economic climate, is certainly a respectable growth rate. It shows a steady demand for their offerings, which is always a good sign.

But what really catches the eye, and perhaps even more so than the sales, is the jump in profitability. Kerala Ayur's net profit for the quarter soared to Rs 1.35 crore. When you put that beside the Rs 0.95 crore they made in September 2024, it’s a substantial leap – a 42.11% increase, to be precise! That kind of profit growth often signals improved operational efficiency or perhaps a better product mix, or maybe even both. It's truly a commendable achievement, showing the company isn't just selling more, but doing so more profitably.

Delving a bit deeper into the operational side, we find that the Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) also painted a positive picture. The company reported an EBITDA of Rs 2.14 crore for the September 2025 quarter. This represents a solid 28.14% climb from the Rs 1.67 crore recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This metric is often seen as a good indicator of core operational performance, and seeing it rise so significantly alongside net profit is definitely encouraging for stakeholders.

Naturally, when we talk about profits, we have to mention the Earnings Per Share (EPS). For this particular second quarter of the fiscal year 2026, Kerala Ayur's standalone EPS stood at Rs 0.08. While a single quarter's EPS figure needs to be viewed in a broader context, the overall improvement in net profit certainly underpins a more robust earnings capability per share.

Now, it's worth noting a slight sequential dip when comparing to the immediate previous quarter, June 2025. In that quarter, net sales were a bit higher at Rs 22.04 crore, and net profit also saw a slightly higher figure of Rs 1.58 crore. While it's natural for business performance to fluctuate quarter-on-quarter due to various factors like seasonality or specific market conditions, the year-on-year comparison, I think, gives us a clearer and more optimistic view of Kerala Ayur's underlying growth trajectory. The consistent upward trend over a longer period truly showcases the company's resilience and strategic progress.
