Financials and others
The Revenue from sales was at Rs 112.29 Crore in Q1 FY25 which has grown to Rs 116.47 Crore in Q1 FY26 giving around 3.72% YOY Sales Growth. But the company is failing to generate consistent profit as they generated net profit worth Rs 13 Lakh in Q1 FY25 which reduced to a loss of Rs 2.73 crore in Q1 FY26
According to the company’s August 2025 Concall presentations- “There has been 34% decline (revenue at Rs 23 cr for the quarter) in the long run vertical .The major reason for the decline is structural change in NCERT, where NCERT has decided to print and distribute the K-12 books and bypass the key academic publishers.
Since Repro’s long – run vertical was geared towards capturing the K-12 segment by getting orders from publishers , this change of stance by NCERT has resulted in the current model being unviable and thus has resulted in revenues falling by more than 65% from steady state in the last 5 quarters.”
One good thing for the company is that its working capital requirements have reduced from 42.5 days to 29.2 days. But the promoter holding has decreased over the last 3 years by 4.70% citing promoters intention. The company’s profitability will depend on how productive the plant turns out to be and how they will try to recover for the losses incurred during the strike period.
