KPI Green Energy shares tumble 9% after Q1 profits drop 17% YoY to ₹86 crore on elevated input costs; key numbers

KPI Green Energy shares tumbled 9% during the trading session on Tuesday, August 11, as investors focused on the company’s fall in profits due to elevated input costs in the latest April to June quarter earnings report for the financial year 2026-27.

NSE data showed KPI Green Energy shares declined 9% to their intraday low of ₹336 apiece on Tuesday’s market, in comparison to ₹369.25 apiece at the previous equity market close.

After the intraday low, the company shares were trading 8.2% lower at ₹338.65 apiece during the market session on August 11, near the 52-week low level, according to the exchange data.

Although the overall revenues in the period under review witnessed healthy growth, the rising expenses in the June quarter, outpacing the income gains, weighed down the company's profits.

How did KPI Green Energy perform in Q1 results?

NSE filings showed that KPI Green Energy reported a 17.6% decline in its consolidated net profit after tax (attributable to owners) at ₹86 crore in the June quarter, compared year-on-year (YoY) with ₹104 crore in the same period a year earlier.

The company’s revenue from core operations advanced 15% YoY to ₹694 crore in the first quarter of FY27, from ₹603 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year, as per the consolidated statements.

However, the total expenses for the period surged 24.5% to ₹579 crore in the period under review, in comparison to ₹465 crore in the same period a year earlier.

The total expenses increased in the period due to a 13% rise in cost of raw materials to ₹362.23 crore, from ₹320.95 crore in the corresponding period of the previous financial year, as per the NSE filings.

KPI Green Energy’s operational-level earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased 32% YoY to ₹246 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, compared to ₹186 crore in the same period a year ago.

On the margins front, the company’s EBITDA margins expanded to 35.39% in the June quarter, from 30.84% in the same period last year.

The company management expects that rising power demand in India, demand from data centres and round-the-clock renewable energy demand, along with the country’s green hydrogen and energy security target, are expected to be key tailwinds for the upcoming period.
