Kaveri Seed reported Q1 FY27 revenue of Rs. 815 crores versus Rs. 945 crores a year earlier, with EBITDA at Rs. 285 crores against Rs. 332 crores and net profit of Rs. 271.3 crores versus Rs. 316 crores. Management attributed the decline to a weak and delayed monsoon that shortened the sowing window, particularly affecting maize sales in Karnataka, while new cotton, maize and rice hybrids gained share within their categories. Management said cotton inventory was around Rs. 200 crores higher than last year due to anticipated demand that did not materialize, and that production plans for next year would be reduced accordingly.
Kaveri Seed reported Q4FY26 revenue from operations of INR82.21 crores, up 6.84% year-on-year, with a net loss of INR25.65 crores versus a larger loss in Q4FY25. For FY26, revenue grew 16.25% to INR1,303.77 crores, EBITDA rose 8.34% to INR349.75 crores, and net profit increased 6.81% to INR283.26 crores. Management attributed the growth to strong performance across non-cotton segments including rice, maize and vegetables, and to a sharp rise in the contribution of new cotton hybrids.
