Company Overview

Mallcom (India) Limited (BSE: 539400 | NSE: MALLCOM), a leading personal protective equipment manufacturer, submitted its Integrated Annual Report for FY 2025-26 pursuant to SEBI Regulation 34, highlighting both operational achievements and financial performance.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations grew 10.8% to ₹539.60 crore in FY26 from ₹486.78 crore in FY25, despite challenging export market conditions. However, net profit declined 48% to ₹30.04 crore from ₹57.43 crore, primarily due to one-time capital gain of ₹25.40 crore from land sale in the previous year. EBITDA remained stable at ₹60.50 crore with margin compression from 12.51% to 11.21%. The company maintained strong balance sheet fundamentals with net worth of ₹318.37 crore (up 6.6%) and net debt-to-equity of 0.38.

  • Industrial safety footwear facility at Chandipur with investment of ₹24.24 crore
  • Commenced domestic manufacture of PU-coated gloves and PVC gumboots (previously imported)

The expanded manufacturing infrastructure can support revenues of approximately ₹1,000 crore without proportionate incremental capital investment.

Geographic and Product Performance

Geographic diversification showed impressive growth with Africa expanding 106% and Middle East & North Africa growing 296% from smaller bases.
