Ask Iris
Q1 performance sets the latest financial context
Avantel Ltd reported higher revenue and profit for the first quarter of FY 2026-27. The company recorded revenue of ₹70.42 crore, compared with ₹63.83 crore in the preceding quarter. This represented quarter-on-quarter growth of 10.32%. Revenue was also 35.66% higher than the corresponding quarter a year earlier. Net profit stood at ₹5.39 crore, up 13.00% sequentially from ₹4.77 crore. On a year-on-year basis, net profit increased by 66.87%. The figures form the latest reported quarterly financial context ahead of Avantel's next board meeting. The company is scheduled to consider its unaudited results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026.
Revenue rises to ₹70.42 crore
The first-quarter revenue figure was ₹70.42 crore. This was ₹6.59 crore higher than the ₹63.83 crore reported in the previous quarter. The reported growth rate was 10.32% on a sequential basis. Avantel also reported 35.66% year-on-year growth in revenue. A separate earnings summary described first-quarter revenue as ₹705.4 million, which is equivalent to ₹70.54 crore after conversion. The quarterly results summary, however, reported revenue at ₹70.42 crore. This article uses the ₹70.42 crore figure stated in the detailed quarterly summary. The reported revenue growth also coincided with improvement in the company's profitability metrics.
Profit before tax improves sequentially
Profit before tax for the quarter was ₹8.69 crore. This compared with ₹7.31 crore in the previous quarter. The increase was 18.88% quarter on quarter. The pace of growth in profit before tax was higher than the reported sequential growth in revenue. No year-on-year profit before tax figure was provided in the available information. The reported result nevertheless shows an improvement in pre-tax earnings from the preceding quarter. The company did not provide further segment-level details in the supplied material. As a result, the figures do not establish the contribution of individual products, contracts, or business lines.
Net profit grows 67% year on year
Avantel reported net profit of ₹5.39 crore for Q1 FY 2026-27. The figure was ₹4.77 crore in the preceding quarter. That translates into a 13.00% quarter-on-quarter increase. The company also reported year-on-year net profit growth of 66.87%. Another earnings summary stated year-on-year net income growth of 67%, which is broadly consistent with the detailed quarterly result. The growth in net profit was stronger than the 35.66% reported growth in revenue. This resulted in a higher reported profit margin than a year earlier. The available disclosures attribute the margin increase to higher revenue.
Earnings per share and margin details
Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2027 was reported at ₹0.20. This was higher than ₹0.12 in the first quarter of 2026. The reported profit margin was 7.6%, compared with 6.2% a year earlier. The increase was therefore 1.4 percentage points. The supplied earnings summary linked this margin expansion to higher revenue. Gross profit was shown as ₹10 crore in the earnings snapshot. That snapshot listed gross profit growth of 28.80% quarter on quarter and 70.74% year on year. No additional gross profit reconciliation was included in the material provided.
Key Q1 FY27 financial figures
Board meeting scheduled for October 26
Avantel informed the BSE that its board meeting is scheduled for October 26, 2026. The board is expected to consider and approve unaudited financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The meeting therefore relates to Q2 FY 2026-27 and the first half of the financial year. The company had listed July 11, 2026, as the date of its Q1 FY 2026-27 earnings. October 26 was listed as the upcoming earnings date for Q2 FY 2026-27. The next disclosure will provide the financial update after the first-quarter result. It will also show the company's reported half-year performance.
Trading window closure follows SEBI requirements
The company said its trading window was closed from October 1, 2026. It will remain closed until 48 hours after the financial results are declared. Avantel stated that the closure is in compliance with SEBI regulations. Trading-window restrictions are used to limit dealing in company securities while unpublished price-sensitive information is being considered or prepared. The stated period covers the run-up to the board meeting and the immediate period after the results announcement. The supplied information does not provide any further board agenda beyond the proposed consideration of the financial results. The disclosure also notes newspaper publication of unaudited Q1 FY 2026-27 financial results.
What the numbers mean for investors
The reported data show that Avantel entered the second quarter after sequential increases in revenue, profit before tax, and net profit. Revenue growth of 35.66% year on year was accompanied by net profit growth of 66.87% year on year. The reported margin increase from 6.2% to 7.6% provides the key explanation for the faster rise in profit relative to revenue. However, the supplied information does not include guidance, order-book details, or management commentary. It also does not provide a share-price reaction to the Q1 announcement. Investors will therefore have to rely on the October 26 results for the next reported update on quarterly and half-year performance. Any assessment of future performance should remain tied to the company's subsequent disclosures.
Fiscal-year results date also disclosed
Avantel has also announced that it will report fiscal year 2027 results on May 30, 2027. This is the next stated annual-results date in the supplied information. Before then, the October 26, 2026 board meeting is the immediate scheduled financial event. The Q2 and half-year results will provide updated revenue and profitability figures after the Q1 performance. The company’s reported first-quarter results showed stronger earnings and a higher margin compared with the prior-year period. The next board outcome will clarify the financial position for the period ended September 30, 2026.
Conclusion
Avantel's Q1 FY 2026-27 results showed revenue of ₹70.42 crore, profit before tax of ₹8.69 crore, and net profit of ₹5.39 crore. Revenue rose 35.66% year on year, while net profit increased 66.87%, alongside a reported improvement in profit margin. The immediate focus is now the October 26, 2026 board meeting for unaudited Q2 and half-year results. The company has said its fiscal year 2027 results are scheduled for May 30, 2027.
