Total Revenue increased from ₹244.3 crore in Q3 FY25 to ₹257.8 crore in Q3 FY26, reflecting overall business stability with moderate growth. Gross Profit improved from ₹35.9 crore to ₹51.6 crore, with margin expanding from 14.7% to 20%, supported by strong Non-Forex contribution. EBITDA rose from ₹11.9 crore to ₹17.5 crore, with margin improving from 4.9% to 6.8%, indicating enhanced operational efficiency. PAT increased from ₹6 crore to ₹9.5 crore, while PAT margin improved from 2.5% to 3.7%, highlighting strong earnings growth led by higher-margin businesses.

Financial Performance (9M FY26 vs 9M FY25)

Revenue for 9M FY26 stood at ₹729.3 crore, reflecting a growth of 3.8% compared to the same period last year, indicating stable topline performance. Gross Profit increased to ₹134.1 crore, registering a strong growth of 40.4%, driven by improved business mix and operational efficiencies. EBITDA reached ₹46 crore, supported by better cost management and automation-led efficiencies implemented over the past 4–5 months. Profit After Tax (PAT) (Non-Forex) stood at ₹24.1 crore, with significant improvement in profitability metrics. PAT Margins saw meaningful expansion, with Non-Forex PAT Margin at 6.9% and Net PAT Margin at 3.3%, reflecting improved earnings quality and operational leverage.

Key Takeaways (9M FY26)

The company continues to focus on margin-led growth rather than aggressive topline expansion, scaling technology platforms and building future-ready regulated businesses. Automation-driven efficiencies implemented over recent months have translated into clear margin expansion across Gross Profit, EBITDA, and PAT levels, validating the execution strategy.

High-value verticals such as Delinquent Loan Collections and EMI Collections have significantly contributed to PAT growth, even though revenue growth remained moderate. New technology-driven verticals launched during 9M FY26, including Travel, CRA, and the Insurance platform, are scaling steadily and demonstrating strong long-term potential. The Orchestration business delivered strong year-on-year growth during 9M FY26 and emerged as a key driver of incremental profitability.
