PAKKA LIMITED

Pakka Limited reported a 42% year-on-year revenue increase in Q1 FY2026–27, with EBITDA up 31% YoY and 36% QoQ. The Wrap & Carry segment saw 43% YoY revenue growth and 45% YoY PBT growth, though sequential PBT declined 16% due to banker costs. Food Services revenue rose 34% YoY but reported a PBT loss of ₹1.62 crore, attributed to structural manufacturing changes. Project Jagriti, involving PM4, is nearing completion with management expecting commissioning by late October, aiming to enhance flexible packaging capabilities. The Food Services division plans to scale B2B operations and expand retail presence. The company emphasized product innovation, including flexC base paper trials and delivery containers, with a focus on cost optimization and market expansion. Management guided toward FY2026–27 revenue of ₹500 crore and an effective tax rate of ~26%. Challenges include high financing costs, Middle East export disruptions, and PM4 start-up delays, with plans to refinance debt and improve margins through operational efficiencies.

The document highlights both strong revenue and EBITDA growth alongside challenges like high financing costs, Middle East export issues, and PM4 delays, indicating a mixed tone.
