As reported by Business Standard, the company's operating profit margin (OPM) stood at 5.54% in the June 2026 quarter, compared to 5.61% in the same period last year.

According to the latest financial statements, EBITDA stood at ₹424 crore compared to ₹393 crore in Q1 FY2026, with the company maintaining its position as a leading business services provider.
According to the financial data reported by Business Standard, profit before tax (PBT) grew 7% to ₹33.15 crore in Q1 FY2026 compared to ₹31.05 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company's net profit of ₹297 crore reflects a 4% increase from ₹286 crore in Q1 FY2025, demonstrating consistent profitability growth despite the margin pressure observed in the operating performance metrics.

As reported in the latest financial results, the Integrated Facility Management (IFM) segment achieved record quarterly revenue, contributing 67% of total revenues while maintaining a high customer retention rate of 95% over a five-year window. The segment benefited from six new logo additions and the ramp-up of strategic contracts across key verticals including education, manufacturing, courier/logistics, and aviation. In the Business Support Services (BSS) segment, Denave emerged as the largest revenue contributor, showing strong traction in Field Marketing Services and Demand Generation Services. Athena, another key BSS subsidiary, recorded no client losses and secured two new client wins, signaling a return to growth momentum.
Despite strong top-line growth, EBITDA margins contracted slightly to 5.54% from 5.61% in the prior year period, primarily impacted by employee benefit expenses rising to ₹6,008.1 million from ₹5,352.8 million in Q1 FY2026. Management indicated that margins were impacted by changes in business mix and higher employee costs. To address this, the company plans to rationalize employee costs by integrating AI and automation technologies across its operations. The company's balance sheet remains robust with a net debt-to-equity ratio of -0.24x, indicating a net cash position. The Board of Directors approved an interim dividend of ₹1 per equity share, reflecting confidence in the company's cash generation capabilities and well within the company's cash reserves.
