Century Ply Q3 Results: Consolidated Revenue Up 18% YoY to ₹1,350 Cr; Net Profit Declines

🟡 NEUTRAL ⭐ 8/10

EARNINGS 📅 04 Feb 2026, 01:50 PM

Century Plyboards reported a strong 18.4% YoY growth in consolidated revenue to ₹1,350.08 crore for Q3 FY26, led by robust performance in Plywood and Particle Board segments. However, standalone net profit declined by 7.9% YoY to ₹58.77 crore, primarily due to rising raw material costs and a one-time exceptional expense of ₹7.18 crore related to new labor code gratuity liabilities.
