Kaveri Seed Company Limited — PPTs, 13-08-2026: Investor Presentation

Kaveri Seed (KSCL) Q1 FY27 results were significantly impacted by a deficient monsoon, leading to a 13.78% YoY drop in total revenue to ₹815 Cr. The non-cotton segment, particularly maize, faced a substantial hit (down 42.87%) due to sharply reduced sowing acreage. In contrast, the cotton segment showed resilience, with revenues decreasing by a smaller 2.47% as volumes remained stable despite market challenges. Selection rice revenues also held firm.

KSCL is focusing on new product development, with new cotton varieties now making up 37% of its portfolio and new single-cross maize hybrids contributing over 20%. Exports were a notable bright spot, surging 4x YoY to ₹5.79 Cr.

Management indicates potential for spill-over demand in Q2 if monsoon conditions improve. The strategic push for new products across key segments is vital for future growth.
