Summary

Figures are in ₹ crore; YoY compares with Q2 FY26 and QoQ with Q1 FY27. Click Total income or Net profit to see the rows behind them.

Profit grew much faster than income this quarter. Net profit rose 82.9% year on year while total income rose 26.0%, and profit before tax rose 82.0%. Other income fell 80.7% to ₹3.80 crore from ₹19.64 crore a year earlier, so the rise in income came almost entirely from revenue from operations, which grew 30.9% to ₹560.40 crore.

Other income was 0.7% of total income this quarter and 11.7% of profit before tax. A year earlier it was ₹19.64 crore, a larger share of a smaller base. The filing does not give the reason for the year-ago other income.

Tax took 25.2% of profit before tax, against 25.6% a year earlier, so the tax rate changed little. Finance costs of ₹7.89 crore are 1.4% of total income, up from ₹4.11 crore a year earlier.

The year-ago base is not fully comparable. From 6 Nov 2025 Valens Technologies Private Limited ceased to be a subsidiary, so the current quarter excludes its results while the year-ago quarter includes them.

The standalone figures match the consolidated ones for the current quarter: total income of ₹564.20 crore and net profit of ₹24.24 crore. Year on year, standalone net profit rose 82.8% and total income rose 26.1%, while standalone other income fell 81.0% to ₹3.80 crore from ₹19.95 crore.

Standalone finance costs were ₹4.01 crore a year earlier and ₹7.89 crore now, a rise of 96.8%.

The filing states that the company has no separate reportable segments on a standalone basis; the segment note applies to the consolidated results.

Inference

The filing states that shareholders approved a preferential issue of 2,19,97,664 equity shares at ₹42 each to non-promoters, and 72,00,000 convertible warrants at ₹42 each to promoters. Allotment was made on 1 Jul 2026, and paid-up equity capital rose to ₹65.45 crore. Of the ₹99.95 crore raised, ₹73.39 crore was used in the quarter and ₹26.66 crore remained unutilised at 30 Sep 2026, parked in mutual fund and bank accounts; the company states there was no deviation in utilisation.

The filing does not say how the remaining ₹26.66 crore will be used or when, and it does not give the reason for the change in segment results between quarters, which a reader would want to know.
