ABM International Limited Revenue Rises 36.9%, Turns Profitable

ABM International Limited reported Q2 FY27 standalone revenue of ₹14.32 crore, up 36.9% year on year, and returned to a net profit of ₹0.17 crore from a ₹0.41 crore loss in Q2 FY26. The September-quarter filing shows a recovery in operating profitability despite lower margins than in the preceding quarter.

What did ABM International report in Q2 FY27?

ABM International reported revenue from operations of ₹14.32 crore for the quarter ended September 2026, compared with ₹10.46 crore a year earlier. Total income rose to ₹14.43 crore from ₹10.58 crore, as other income stood at ₹0.11 crore.

The company recorded net profit of ₹0.17 crore, against a net loss of ₹0.41 crore in Q2 FY26. Profit before tax was ₹0.46 crore, reversing a pre-tax loss of ₹0.41 crore a year earlier. The company filed the results with the NSE on 13 November 2026 at 5:26 pm IST, and the detailed figures are reported on a standalone basis.

How did ABM International compare with the previous quarter and year?

ABM International's revenue increased 37.0% sequentially from ₹10.45 crore in Q1 FY27 and 36.9% from ₹10.46 crore in Q2 FY26. The year-on-year increase in sales helped the company move from operating and net losses in the year-ago period to positive EBITDA and net profit in the September 2026 quarter.

However, profit declined from the June 2026 quarter. EBITDA fell 37.1% quarter on quarter from ₹0.64 crore, while net profit declined 75.3% from ₹0.68 crore. Profit before tax also reduced 32.8% sequentially from ₹0.68 crore, indicating that the higher revenue base did not translate into a similar increase in quarterly earnings.

Why did margins change during the September quarter?

ABM International's operating margin improved by 710 basis points year on year to 2.8% from a negative 4.3% in Q2 FY26. Net margin improved by 510 basis points to 1.2% from a negative 3.9%. These changes reflect the shift to positive operating profit and net profit compared with the losses reported in the year-earlier quarter.

Margins were lower than in Q1 FY27, when operating margin was 6.1% and net margin was 6.5%. Total expenses increased 41.3% sequentially to ₹13.97 crore from ₹9.89 crore, compared with a 36.5% rise in total income. Tax expense was ₹0.29 crore in Q2 FY27, whereas no tax expense was reported in Q1 FY27, which also affected the movement from pre-tax profit to net profit.

What is the significance of the return to profit for ABM International?

ABM International's return to profitability is significant because the company had posted a net loss of ₹0.41 crore in the September 2025 quarter. Revenue in that period was ₹10.46 crore, close to the ₹10.45 crore reported in the June 2026 quarter. The Q2 FY27 result therefore combines a higher revenue base with a reversal of the prior year's operating loss.

For investors, the filing provides evidence of year-on-year improvement but also shows that profitability was weaker than in the immediately preceding quarter. Revenue rose in both comparisons, while operating profit and net profit declined sequentially. The results do not provide an outlook or a specific operational target, so the reported income, expenses and margins remain the main measurable indicators from the filing.

How does the Q2 filing fit into the reporting calendar?

ABM International's Q2 FY27 results cover the period from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. Indian listed companies are required to publish quarterly results within 45 days of the quarter end, placing the outer reporting deadline for the September 2026 quarter on 14 November 2026. The company filed its results one day before that deadline.

The announcement came on a day when the broader market closed lower, with the Nifty 50 down 0.61% and the Sensex down 0.39%. The provided information does not state any ABM International share-price reaction. As a result, the direct market reference from the available data is the company's reported earnings performance rather than a verified movement in its stock.

Conclusion

ABM International Limited reported a clear year-on-year improvement in Q2 FY27, with revenue rising 36.9% to ₹14.32 crore and net profit turning positive at ₹0.17 crore. Positive EBITDA and improved margins from the year-ago loss support the reported turnaround, although sequential profit and margins were lower than in Q1 FY27.

The next reported quarterly filing will show whether revenue growth can be maintained while expenses and margins improve from the September-quarter levels. Investors will also watch the relationship between operating profit, tax expense and net profit after the company reported ₹0.29 crore of tax expense in Q2 FY27.
