BKM Industries' loss widens to ₹365.93 lakh in Q1
Revenue returned at ₹68.91 lakh from nil, but expenses of ₹471.95 lakh pushed the net loss far higher than a year ago.
What's new
- Net loss jumped to ₹365.93 lakh from ₹80.34 lakh a year ago.
- Revenue of ₹68.91 lakh vs nil earlier — first quarterly income post-insolvency.
- Depreciation of ₹157.42 lakh was the largest expense, weighing on the P&L.
Why this matters
BKM Industries is a nano-cap with a ₹12 crore market cap and a 0.96 debt/equity ratio. Revenue is present, but the expense structure, especially depreciation, remains a hangover from insolvency. The loss is significant for a company of this size.
What we're watching
- Whether revenue growth can outpace fixed costs in coming quarters.
- Any signs of working capital improvement or debt reduction.
- The trajectory of depreciation charges, a key drag on profitability.
The full read
Losses widened. BKM Industries reported a net loss of ₹365.93 lakh for Q1 FY27, more than quadruple the ₹80.34 lakh loss a year earlier, even as revenue returned at ₹68.91 lakh from nil. Expenses of ₹471.95 lakh swamped income, with depreciation of ₹157.42 lakh alone accounting for a third of the total. Hardly a revival yet. At a market cap of ₹12 crore, this single quarter's loss is a significant portion of the company's valuation. The path to profitability remains steep.
