P&L walk
Consolidated revenue rose to ₹304.09 crore, while verified EBITDA was ₹26.88 crore and PAT ₹15.3 crore; the lower operating EBITDA of ₹21.2 crore and ₹5.66 crore of other income indicate that non-operating income materially supported reported profitability.
Segments
The consolidated group is materially larger than the parent: standalone revenue was ₹18.58 crore and PAT ₹3.44 crore versus consolidated revenue of ₹304.09 crore and verified PAT of ₹15.3 crore, indicating subsidiaries drive the majority of earnings.
Key positives
- Revenue from operations reached ₹304.09 crore, up 24.6% YoY, extending growth across the core business verticals.
- Operating EBITDA rose 19.7% YoY to ₹21.2 crore, indicating positive operating profit growth despite the ongoing scale-up.
- Business Correspondent GTV exceeded ₹29,500 crore versus ₹26,200 crore in Q1FY26, while the network expanded to 1,58,600+ touchpoints from 1,44,000+.
- The 100% acquisition of Atyati Technologies was completed, adding an AI-powered banking technology capability and expanding the group's financial-inclusion platform.
Key concerns
- Operating EBITDA of ₹21.2 crore grew 19.7% YoY, below revenue growth of 24.6%, so the filing does not show operating margin expansion.
- The prior-results series records OPM at 7% in Q1FY27 after six consecutive quarters of YoY contraction from Q3FY25 through Q4FY26.
- Verified EBITDA including other income was ₹26.88 crore, while operating EBITDA was ₹21.2 crore, leaving ₹5.66 crore of other income as a material contributor to reported EBITDA.
- The verified XBRL PAT is ₹15.3 crore, whereas the press release reports PAT of ₹18.6 crore; this ₹3.3 crore discrepancy requires reconciliation before relying on the headline profit figure.
