Summary of Latest Earnings Report from Kaveri Seed Co.
Summary of Kaveri Seed Co.'s latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Last updated:
Management's outlook for Kaveri Seed Company for FY26 is positive, expecting an overall revenue growth of 15% to 20% over the next 3 to 5 years. They anticipate that the non-cotton segments, particularly maize and rice, will sustain a growth rate of around 20%, driven by increased acreage and demand for hybrid varieties.
Key financial highlights for Q1 FY26 include:
- Revenue from operations reached Rs.945.31 crores, an increase of 16.98% from Rs.808.09 crores in Q1 FY25.
- EBITDA stood at Rs.332.85 crores, up by 13.68% from Rs.292.79 crores year-on-year.
- Net profit was recorded at Rs.316.50 crores, reflecting an 11.88% growth from Rs.282.91 crores last year.
The management indicated that the contribution of new cotton products has risen significantly, from 12% to 34%, although overall cotton sales are under pressure due to illegal seed competition and increased production costs. The hybrid rice segment achieved a 6.48% increase in volumes and a remarkable 32% growth in revenues, despite restrictions on hybrid rice sowing in Punjab.
Management expects a better performance in the second half of the year, driven by strong demand in maize and improved conditions for the upcoming rabi season. They are also confident about the export market, projecting a growth of 30% to 40% in sales to international markets, particularly in Bangladesh and other Southeast Asian countries.
In terms of inventory and production, they plan to manage the current high inventory levels strategically to avoid excessive write-offs, as the majority consists of new and quality-approved stock. Overall, management remains optimistic about the potential for margin expansion as inventory levels normalize and production management improves.

Question 1: My first question was when you refer to the cotton illegal seeds, are these largely BG-III seeds?
Answer: Yes, basically illegal BG-II RRF seeds. That's what we refer to as illegal seeds.
Question 2: Any update on the BG-III?
Answer: Not yet, but it's been positive. We expect it soon as there's noticeable growth in illegal cotton, which has caught government authorities' attention. We're having ongoing discussions with them.
Question 3: Any update on non-cotton GMCs or testing?
Answer: Currently, testing is ongoing, but definitive approvals will take more time. Our focus remains on the cotton segment since it's already approved.
Question 4: Do you think non-cotton growth will sustain at this rate for the next few years?
Answer: We believe non-cotton segments could grow around 20% due to increasing acreages in maize and hybrid rice, with a strong pipeline of hybrids from Kaveri.
Question 5: What is our dividend cash payout policy going forward?
Answer: We haven't made a decision yet, but we plan to maintain a dividend. We're currently focused on liquidating our high inventory.
Question 6: Could we see any inventory write off?
Answer: Our inventory consists largely of new stock with low risks of write-offs. We are simply making provisions as it undergoes quality testing.
Question 7: Is it fair to say that sales are lying as inventory in subsidiaries?
Answer: There's no inventory held in subsidiaries. Sales primarily occur through subsidiaries, reflecting mainly in cotton sales, hence the growth discrepancies.
Question 8: Why were there no significant price hikes in cotton this time?
Answer: Price hikes were limited due to governmental restrictions and high existing inventory. We could pass on costs in non-cotton segments, but it was harder in cotton.
Question 9: What is the visibility on exports, especially in Bangladesh?
Answer: Export growth looks promising, with a projected increase of 30% to 40%, driven by product acceptance in Bangladesh and other markets.
Question 10: What percentage of our revenue is derived from crop nutrients?
Answer: Our crop nutrients segment is a small part of the business, contributing around Rs.45-50 crores, but we expect it to grow significantly over the next few years.
