Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Ltd. (KPCL) reported largely stable financial results for the first quarter of FY26, with revenue from operations at ₹272 crore, compared to ₹275.3 crore in the same period last year. Profit before tax (PBT) stood at ₹36.8 crore, marginally up from ₹35.9 crore in Q1 FY25.
The company's total income for the quarter was ₹280.2 crore, nearly unchanged from ₹279.7 crore in the year-ago period. Profit after tax increased to ₹28.1 crore, up from ₹26.9 crore. EBITDA margin showed a slight improvement at 15.7%.
New order bookings during the quarter were ₹365 crore, lower than in previous quarters. The company attributed this to global uncertainties delaying several large orders. However, the order book as of July 1, 2025, stood at ₹1,725 crore, showing growth from ₹1,624 crore on April 1.
KPCL introduced a new product — 'Tyche,' a semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor aimed at the commercial refrigeration segment. The compressor's motor is produced in-house to manage costs and ensure supply chain efficiency.
The company also began operations at a new foundry in Nashik based on lost foam castings technology, part of its cost-reduction and backward integration strategy. The foundry emphasizes environmental sustainability and circular manufacturing.
Compression systems remain KPCL's primary business, contributing nearly 89% of total revenue.
The company's earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter rose to ₹4.33, up from ₹4.15 in Q1 FY25. KPCL has also started reporting consolidated results including Systems and Components India Private Limited, acquired recently. Comparable data for the acquisition will be available after a full fiscal year.
