Captain Fresh Reports 52% Revenue Growth but Net Profit Halves in FY26
Captain Fresh reported a 52% rise in consolidated operating revenue to over Rs 5,000 crore in FY26, with adjusted EBITDA nearly tripling to Rs 371 crore. Despite this growth, net profit more than halved to Rs 19.6 crore due to one-time IPO expenses, a tax expense shift, and losses from discontinued operations. The company aims to nearly double revenue to Rs 10,000 crore and increase adjusted EBITDA to Rs 700 crore in FY27 while preparing to resume its IPO process. It also plans to reduce its debt-to-equity ratio amid improving operating conditions.
