LWS Knitwear Q1 Net Profit Drops 35% YoY to ₹0.18 Cr; Revenue Down 5%
LWS Knitwear reported a weak start to the fiscal year with Q1 FY27 revenue declining 5.3% YoY to ₹12.38 Cr. Net profit saw a sharper contraction, falling 34.9% YoY to ₹0.18 Cr from ₹0.27 Cr in the year-ago period. The company's performance shows significant seasonality, with Q1 revenue representing only ~13% of its TTM revenue. A positive note was the 36% reduction in finance costs to ₹0.44 Cr, though this was insufficient to offset the decline in operating scale.
