Acme Universal Safezone 9 posts ₹7 crore H1 profit as revenue rises 16%

What happened

Acme Universal Safezone 9 posted a net profit of ₹7 crore in the first half of this fiscal year, compared with a net loss of ₹8 crore a year earlier. Revenue rose 16 per cent to ₹120 crore, and EBITDA increased 55 per cent to ₹13 crore.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The swing from loss to profit shows the safety footwear maker is earning more from each sale as revenue grows. Higher EBITDA, a rough measure of operating profit, gives it more cash to spend on expansion and reduce dependence on borrowed money.

Analyst inference

The company listed on the BSE SME platform last month, a market for smaller firms, and reports results twice a year. Its ₹10 crore of exports in H1 already equal about two-thirds of all export sales in FY26, so overseas demand is a growing part of the business.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. The company plans to use IPO proceeds for capital expansion, a captive solar power plant, extra working capital, and acquisitions in the sector, its Managing Director said. Confirmed
2. Watch whether the solar plant and expansion lower power costs and lift output, which would support profit per sale if revenue keeps growing at a similar pace. Analyst inference
3. Track export orders, since ₹10 crore in H1 is already about two-thirds of FY26's ₹16 crore, and any slowdown would hit a key growth driver. Analyst inference
