The company’s revenue from operations stood at Rs 800.87 crore, compared to Rs 774.20 crore in Q2 FY25, showing a modest improvement in top-line growth.

After accounting for taxes, the company posted a net loss of Rs 26.53 crore, against a net profit of Rs 7.76 crore in Q2 FY25.
Expense and cost structure
Total expenses surged to Rs 846.31 crore, compared to Rs 773.23 crore in the previous year’s corresponding quarter. Key cost components included:
-
Cost of materials consumed: Rs 608.07 crore (up from Rs 531.75 crore YoY)

Half-year performance (H1 FY26)
For the first half of FY26, Venky’s reported total income of Rs 1,688.75 crore, a rise from Rs 1,602.73 crore in the same period last year. Despite this, the company recorded a net loss of Rs 10.7 crore for the half-year, compared to a profit of Rs 82.94 crore in H1 FY25.
The decline in profitability highlights the challenges faced by the poultry and animal health segments, including feed cost volatility and subdued realizations.
