In the latest quarter, Mallcom (India) reported net sales reaching ₹139.34 crores, marking the highest quarterly sales figure recorded by the company.

The PBDIT for the quarter stood at ₹9.86 crores, the lowest in recent periods, while the operating profit to net sales ratio contracted to 7.08%, signalling margin pressure. Additionally, the operating profit to interest coverage ratio declined to 4.61 times, highlighting tighter financial flexibility.

Profit after tax (PAT) for the nine-month period ending September 2025 was ₹43.36 crores, a figure that remains comparatively robust. However, the quarterly PAT figure of ₹3.74 crores reflects a contraction of 63.0% relative to prior quarters. The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter also registered at ₹5.99, the lowest in recent history. Interest expenses for the nine-month period rose by 79.95% to ₹6.55 crores, contributing to the pressure on profitability and operating margins.
From a capital structure perspective, Mallcom (India) maintained a relatively low debt-equity ratio of 0.37 times as of the half-year mark, which is the lowest recorded in recent periods. This suggests a conservative leverage position despite the operating challenges faced during the quarter.
