P&L walk
Revenue increased 2.90% QoQ to ₹2,107.86 lakh but declined 0.59% YoY, while employee costs rose 15.98% YoY to ₹2,198.18 lakh and other expenses rose 35.76% to ₹332.89 lakh, driving EBITDA margin to -12.9% and PAT to a ₹301.00 lakh loss.
Key positives
- Revenue increased 2.90% QoQ to ₹2,107.86 lakh after the prior-quarter ₹2,048.57 lakh base, although it remained 0.59% below the year-ago quarter.
- The company recorded no current-quarter exceptional item, versus ₹36.23 lakh in Q4FY26; the filing says the labour-code assessment remains under monitoring.
- The filing reports a clean PAT-to-EPS cross-check: PAT and EPS both moved from profit to loss, with basic and diluted EPS identical at ₹-0.28.
Key concerns
- Employee benefit expense of ₹2,198.18 lakh was 104.3% of revenue and increased 15.98% YoY against revenue decline of 0.59%, leaving the operating model structurally cost-heavy.
- Other expenses rose 35.76% YoY to ₹332.89 lakh, well above the 0.59% YoY revenue decline, contributing to EBITDA margin deterioration of approximately 1,940bps to -12.9%.
- PAT deteriorated from a ₹119.70 lakh profit in Q1FY26 to a ₹301.00 lakh loss in Q1FY27, while EBIT moved from a ₹145.16 lakh profit to a ₹276.98 lakh loss.
