Q1FY26 Quarterly Result Announced for Navneet Education Ltd.

Publishing company Navneet Education announced Q1FY26 results

  • Revenue from Operations: Rs 794 crore compared to Rs 798 crore during Q1FY25.
  • EBITDA: Rs 227 crore compared to Rs 220 crore during Q1FY25.
  • EBITDA Margin: 28.6% for Q1FY26.
  • PBT: Rs 212 crore compared to Rs 207 crore during Q1FY25.
  • PBT Margin: 26.7% for Q1FY26.

Gnanesh (Sunil) Gala, Managing Director, said: In Q1FY26, our revenue remained stable and stood at Rs 792 crore vs Rs 794 crore in Q1FY25. Our publication segment grew from Rs 417 crore to Rs 419 crore and stationery business was Rs 372 crore vs Rs 375 crore in Q1FY25.

Publication business remained flat due to only few minor changes in the lower grade curriculum. With this, the curriculum change cycle has started and going forward we foresee that the curriculum of the higher grades will start to change gradually, giving the much-anticipated momentum to publication business.

Domestic stationery business degrew by 14% in Q1FY26. Drop in paper prices resulted in reduction of product pricing and hence lower realization by around 9% and volume drop of 5% was on account of competition from the unorganized sector who would have procured paper with new reduced rates. Now that paper prices have stabilized, the threat of such competition would reduce.

Export stationery segment demonstrated a growth of 7% in Q1FY26 even during the challenging times of exports to the US. New product introduction and newer territories helped Navneet to expand its topline even though new rates were negotiated with the clients after reduction in paper prices. The Company is watching the unpredictable developments closely for its future business strategy.

The additional 25% tariff proposed by the US is still not come into effect and will be finally decided by 27th August 2025. Thankfully, the Company has not faced any cancellation of orders, but going forward the trade is maintaining the “Wait and Watch” strategy till the final outcome of Trade negotiations between India and the US.

By continuing to innovate and adapt to changing market conditions, we aim to strengthen our presence and achieve significant advancements in our core business of publishing integrated with technology offerings and introduction of new category of products in stationery segment. This will drive sustainable growth and deliver greater stakeholders’ value.”

Gnanesh (Sunil) Gala, Managing Director, said: "In H1FY25, revenue remained largely stable at Rs 1,065 crore, compared to Rs 1,053 crore in H1FY24. EBITDA for the period was Rs 236 crore, up from Rs 219 crore in the same period last year.

In our publication segment, curriculum reductions for specific grades by State Boards required us to redesign certain products, impacting realizations. However, stable paper prices allowed us to set accurate pricing, which led to better-than-anticipated volume growth compared to the same period last year. This volume increase offset price reductions, maintaining stable revenue at Rs 498 crore, compared to Rs 504 crore in H1FY24.

In the domestic stationery business, revenue for the period was Rs 173 crore, down from Rs 189 crore in H1FY24. This decrease was primarily due to product repricing following reduced raw material costs. However, in absolute terms we saw marginal growth in volumes across categories. Additionally, domestic sales faced some pressure due to slower-than-expected movement in channel-level inventory in key markets. To regain sales momentum in the domestic market, we are expanding our offerings within existing paper stationery categories and planning new product introductionsin non paper categories.

Our export stationery business continued to strengthen, driven by growing demand for both traditional paper-based and modern non-paper products. Revenue for the period stood at Rs 390 crore, up from Rs 358 crore in the same period last year. In the export market, we have introduced new product categories in both paper and non-paper segments, and we have started receiving encouraging inquiries including the products which were evaluated for ADD."

  • EPS of Rs 6.41 in Q1FY24 compared to Rs 6.77 in Q1FY23

Gnanesh (Sunil) Gala, Managing Director, said, “The first quarter has consistently been a robust period for our standalone Publication business, primarily due to the reopening of SSC board schools in June. This segment comprises workbooks, guides, and question banks tailored for students attending SSC board schools in Maharashtra and Gujarat, where we currently dominate with over 2/3rd the market share.

Our Publications business revenue grew by 20% year on year to Rs 427 crore. EBITDA showed a growth year-on-year, driven by the implementation of strategic price increases and an increase in sales volumes compared to the same period last year.

Domestic Stationery business revenue for Q1FY24 grew by 22% year on year to Rs 143 crore. Due to the inherent nature of the business, there is always a two-quarter lag in the procurement of raw materials and sales realization. Hence the margins were affected due to the escalation in raw material prices which was procured in the previous quarters. However, to gain the market share we made a strategic decision to absorb some of the cost increase and not immediately pass it on to consumers. Fortunately, in the current quarter, raw material prices have started to decline, and coupled with an improved demand scenario, we are confident that the company will be able to achieve revenue growth of 15% in FY24 compared to FY23, with an enhanced margin profile.

Exports Stationery business revenue for Q1FY24 grew by 3% year on year to Rs 214 crore. One of our product categories is currently being evaluated for potential anti-dumping duty in the USA. As a result, orders from this category were not received during Q1. This category generally constitutes ~8% - 10% of our export revenue in a year. Going forward, the company has taken appropriate measures to accommodate the orders from customers in this category, ensuring a proactive approach to address the situation effectively. However, the growth in our other existing products managed to offset this setback.

As an Indian player in the export market, our brand equity is exceptionally strong, primarily attributed to our commitment to providing quality products and services. To further expand in the export market, we have devised a strategic plan to introduce new offerings beyond paper-based products and focus on value-added products.

Our Ed-tech business which is under Navneet Futuretech Limited - the Board of Directors has guided for review of our Ed-tech portfolio and strategy considering the current Edtech scenario. We will present a comprehensive strategy to the Board very soon.”
