News Topical, Digital Desk : Venky's Q2 Results: Poultry and food products giant Venky's (India) Limited has announced its second quarter (Q2 FY26) results for the current financial year. The company slipped from profit to loss on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, reporting a net loss of ₹27 crore for the quarter, compared to a profit of ₹8 crore in the same quarter last year.

Marginal increase in earnings
Venky's total revenue increased from ₹774 crore to ₹801 crore on a year-on-year basis. Although there was a slight increase in earnings, high raw material prices and increase in production costs impacted the company's profitability.

Heavy decline in EBITDA The company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) has also been weak this time. While the EBITDA was ₹14 crore in Q2 FY25, this time the company has reported an EBITDA loss of ₹31 crore. This decline clearly reflects the increase in operating costs and shrinking margins.
