Malu Paper Mills Q3 Results: Revenue Grows 22% YoY, but Net Loss Widens to ₹5.10 Crore

🔴 NEGATIVE ⭐ 7/10

EARNINGS 📅 11 Feb 2026, 05:45 PM

Malu Paper Mills reported a challenging third quarter with a net loss of ₹5.10 crore, widening from a loss of ₹3.67 crore in the same period last year. Despite the bottom-line pressure, revenue from operations saw a healthy growth of 22.6% YoY, reaching ₹76.78 crore. The company continues to struggle with negative EBITDA, reporting a loss of ₹3.09 crore for the quarter due to high input costs and intense market competition. Management is banking on a turnaround through new government supply tenders and potential land monetization.

Revenue from operations increased to ₹76.78 crore in Q3 FY26 compared to ₹62.62 crore in Q3 FY25.
Net loss for the quarter widened to ₹5.10 crore from ₹3.67 crore in the year-ago period.
EBITDA remained negative at ₹3.09 crore, though slightly improved from the ₹3.14 crore loss in the previous quarter.
Nine-month (9M FY26) cumulative net loss stands at ₹16.84 crore.
Company secured a supply tender for Writing and Printing Paper from Maharashtra State Board Textbook Publications.

💡 Investors should exercise caution as the company remains loss-making at both the EBITDA and PAT levels. While the new government contract and land monetization plans offer some hope, a sustainable turnaround in margins is required before considering a fresh position.
