Symphony Limited announced its audited financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a consolidated net loss of ₹141 crore on revenues of ₹1,131 crore for FY26. Standalone figures showed a revenue of ₹765 crore and a net loss of ₹166 crore.
Despite the reported loss, the board recommended a final dividend of ₹5.00 per equity share (250%), totaling approximately ₹34.34 crore, which is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). This move signals management's confidence in the company's underlying business strength and future recovery prospects, aiming to reward shareholders.
Adding to stability, Mr. Nrupesh Shah was reappointed as Managing Director – Corporate Affairs for a further five years, effective from November 1, 2026. This reappointment ensures leadership continuity, providing stability for future operations, especially as the company navigates this challenging financial period. Symphony Limited received unmodified audit reports from its statutory auditors, M/s. BSR & Co. LLP.
Historically, Symphony, known for its air coolers and a prominent player in India's home appliance market, has maintained a strong focus on shareholder returns with consistent dividend payouts. Mr. Shah has played a vital role in managing the company's corporate affairs over his tenure. For comparison, in the previous fiscal year, FY25, Symphony reported a consolidated revenue of ₹1,083 crore and a consolidated profit after tax of ₹76 crore, highlighting a significant shift in profitability in FY26.
The proposed final dividend payment is contingent on shareholder approval at the AGM. Investors will be monitoring the outcome of this vote.
In the broader consumer durables sector, Symphony's FY26 performance contrasts with peers such as V-Guard Industries, Havells India, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals, and Orient Electric. These companies generally reported profitable financial results for the same period, suggesting potential sector-wide pressures or specific challenges faced by Symphony.
Looking ahead, investors will track further updates on the company's strategy to address the FY26 net loss and improve profitability. The effective commencement of Mr. Nrupesh Shah's renewed five-year term on November 1, 2026, will also be noted.
