On August 12, 2025, the Board of Directors of Mrs. Bectors Food Specialities Limited held a meeting to approve key corporate actions and review Quarterly Results.

The Board approved a sub-division of the Company’s equity shares in a 1:5 ratio to enhance liquidity and encourage wider investor participation. One existing equity share of Rs 10 each, fully paid-up, will be split into five equity shares of Rs 2 each, fully paid-up.

Following the split, the Authorised Share Capital will remain Rs 65 crore but will be restructured from 6,50,00,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each to 32,50,00,000 equity shares of Rs 2 each. The Issued, Subscribed and Paid-up Share Capital will change from 6,13,98,119 equity shares of Rs 10 each to 30,69,90,595 equity shares of Rs 2 each. The split applies to the Company’s single class of equity shares, which rank pari-passu. The record date for the sub-division will be announced later, with completion expected within two months, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

In the quarterly results of June 30, 2025 (Q1 FY2026), Mrs. Bectors Food Specialities Limited reported revenue from operations of Rs 472.96 crore, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 7.64 per cent compared to Rs 439.40 crore in Q1 FY2025. On a sequential basis, revenue rose 6.03 per cent from Rs 446.07 crore recorded in Q4 FY2025, indicating consistent sales momentum during the period.

Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at Rs 30.88 crore, down 12.84 per cent from Rs 35.43 crore in the corresponding quarter last year and lower by 9.92 per cent compared to Rs 34.28 crore in the previous quarter. The decline in PAT despite revenue growth suggests that increased costs or other operational factors may have impacted net profitability.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) for the quarter were calculated at Rs 65.70 crore. The EBITDA margin for the quarter was 13.89 per cent. The net profit margin stood at 6.53 per cent.

The Board scheduled the 30th Annual General Meeting for Friday, September 19, 2025.
