The document contains the transcript of an earnings conference call held on November 6, 2026, discussing Q2 and H1 FY27 results. This was a post-results investor interaction following the quarterly earnings announcement.
The conference call was held at the time specified in the company's previous intimation letter dated November 2, 2026. Management participants included: Mr. Sameer Kothari (Managing Director), Mr. Mayank Samdani (Group Chief Financial Officer), Mr. Ganesh Argekar (Executive Director), Mr. Vimal Solanki (Head of Corporate Communications), and SGA (Investor Relations Advisor).
The company stated that the transcript was being submitted pursuant to Regulation 30(2) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The transcript would also be available on the company's website at www.hindustanfoodslimited.com.
The conference call included detailed financial performance discussion for Q2 FY27: Total income of INR1,269 crores (18% YoY growth), EBITDA of INR115 crores (26% YoY growth), Profit before tax before exceptional items of INR61 crores (25% YoY growth), and Adjusted PAT of INR46 crores (22% YoY growth). Reported PAT was INR45 crores after accounting for one-time exceptional losses of INR1.3 crores relating to flooding at the Silvassa facility.
Operational highlights included: Footwear division returned to profitability in Q2 after Q1 challenges, with October 2026 delivering the highest-ever monthly turnover in the division's history; Order book full till March 2027; Operations at Silvassa facility normalized after 1.5-month disruption; Multiple expansion projects across Aurangabad, Mysuru, Hyderabad, Panipat, Coimbatore, Baddi, Guwahati, and Nashik progressing with revised timelines.
Cash flow from operations for H1 FY27 stood at more than INR57 crores, showing significant improvement from negative operating cash flow in H2 FY26. The improvement was attributed to transition to net revenue model for some customers and recent GST changes easing inverted duty structure.
Management maintained FY27 guidance of over INR200 crores PAT, expecting strong second half performance from commercialization of assets worth more than INR300 crores across various projects starting from December 2026.
The company announced it will host a Capital Markets Day in early December 2026 to discuss business plans for FY28 and beyond, with details to be announced through stock exchanges in coming weeks.
