3. Profit up on a year earlier for 5 quarters in a row

   In the June 2026 quarter profit was ₹83 crore, +56.6% on a year earlier.

Century Plyboards (India) is on 2 of our India lists: 52 week high & low and Small & mid cap stocks.

Century Plyboards (India) Ltd earned ₹83.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +56.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 5th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹268 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 4.7% a year on average. That is 5.3% of the quarter's revenue.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹53.0 Cr.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹268 Cr (+44.1% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +33.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +48.4% and revenue +23.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit.

Century Plyboards (India) Ltd reported ₹1,561 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +33.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 12.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹5,397 Cr.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to ₹5,789 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹5,397 Cr, +19.2% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +23.4% on average, against 12.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +23.4%, against +20.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +45.4%, against +4.7% a year (accelerating).

Century Plyboards (India) Ltd's operating margin was 13.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 11.0% and 18.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every ₹100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +1.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 91% of Century Plyboards (India) Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹457 Cr of operating cash against ₹268 Cr of profit. After ₹402 Cr of spending on assets, ₹55.0 Cr was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why 91% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle got 23 days longer between FY21 and FY26, so more of each rupee of profit waits in the business before it arrives.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 5.1× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Century Plyboards (India) Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 131 days in FY26, up from 108 days in FY21. It spent ₹2,101 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 42 days to pay, and stock sits for 143 days on average.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

At FY26 sales of ₹5,397 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹14.8 Cr, so roughly ₹1,937 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

FY26: customers took 42 days to pay and stock sat for 143 days, about 4.7 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of 131 days, longer than FY21's 108.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 143 days. Customers pay about 42 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 53 days. Together that makes the 131-day cycle.

Spending on assets: ₹2,101 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹414 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹188 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Century Plyboards (India) Ltd's P/E is 49.3×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 72% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 38.0×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.

The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Jun 2026 add up to ₹13.09.
