Segments
Digital Service was the clear driver at 5981.33 lakh of revenue and 1009.50 lakh of segment result, while Defence & Aerospace contributed 573.04 lakh of revenue and 262.92 lakh of result; consolidated performance is therefore concentrated in Digital Service rather than the core-labelled defence division.
Key positives
- Consolidated revenue reached 7457.33 lakh, +34.5% YoY and +21.9% QoQ, extending the recent revenue recovery from 5545.35 lakh in Q1FY26.
- Digital Service generated 5981.33 lakh of revenue and 1009.50 lakh of segment result, making it the dominant current earnings contributor.
- Consolidated EBITDA remained positive at 1283 lakh and EBITDA margin was 17.2%, a substantial recovery from the prior quarter's negative operating margin reported in the company's recent results series.
- Consolidated segment assets of 53399.02 lakh provide a disclosed asset base for monitoring the group's operating platform.
Key concerns
- EBITDA fell 55.5% YoY to 1283 lakh even as revenue grew 34.5%, with EBITDA margin contracting to 17.2% from approximately 52.0% in the year-ago quarter.
- PAT fell 78.2% YoY to 441.20 lakh and other income of 221 lakh represented 35.2% of PBT, reducing the quality and repeatability of reported earnings.
- Digital Service supplied 5981.33 lakh of the group's segment revenue, while Defence & Aerospace contributed only 573.04 lakh, leaving the reported defence trajectory less established than the consolidated headline growth suggests.
- The company proposed a rights issue of up to ₹155 crore in the surrounding period and had 14614.95 lakh of earlier rights proceeds subject to utilisation; future dilution and deployment returns remain important thesis variables.
