Trident Q3 Results: Profit falls as margin contracts; company rejigs subsidiary structure

Trident Ltd reported a subdued performance for the third quarter, with profitability and margins coming under significant pressure amid lower revenues.

Net profit for the quarter declined 44.5% year-on-year to ₹44.2 crore, compared with ₹79.7 crore in the same period last year. Revenue slipped 5.6% to ₹1,574 crore from ₹1,667 crore a year ago.

Operating performance also weakened, with EBITDA falling 36.5% year-on-year to ₹136.2 crore from ₹214.5 crore. EBITDA margin contracted sharply to 8.7%, compared

with 12.9% in the year-ago quarter, reflecting reduced operating leverage.

Ahead of the earnings announcement, shares of Trident Ltd closed at ₹28.47 on the NSE, up 2.82% on the day.

Separately, the company announced the incorporation of a new domestic wholly owned subsidiary aimed at strengthening brand presence, brand-building initiatives, and sales and marketing of Trident products in overseas markets, with a special focus on the US market.

Following the execution of a definitive share purchase agreement, MYTRIDENT.COM Limited ceased to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Trident Limited with effect from February 9, 2026. The company clarified that MYTRIDENT.COM Limited was not a material subsidiary.
