Q3 FY26: profitability and income comparison

The data also listed EBITDA for Q3 FY26 at ₹366.67 crore. While the article text does not provide an EBITDA comparison base, the number helps contextualise operating performance for that quarter.

Earnings date and the “Q4 FY25-26” snapshot

The information provided also referenced a “Last Earnings Date” for “Q4 FY25-26” as 12 February 2026. In that snapshot, revenue was shown at ₹1,081 (unit not explicitly restated in the snapshot, but presented in the same context as other ₹ crore figures), with QoQ growth of 18.69% and YoY growth of 18.47%.

Gross profit was listed at ₹304 with QoQ growth of 31.65% and YoY growth of 14.35%. Net profit was shown as ₹241, with the text stating that CRISIL reported a net profit of ₹241 for “Q4 FY25-26”.

FY25 full-year numbers: profit up 12%

These full-year numbers provide context for the quarterly prints, showing that profit growth was in the low double digits at the annual level, while quarter-level profitability moved more sharply in some periods mentioned in the data.

Dividend references in the disclosures

The article text includes two dividend references. One note stated that Q1 FY25 saw double-digit revenue and profit growth with an interim dividend of ₹8 per share declared. Another line stated that CRISIL reported a total annual dividend of ₹61 per share alongside its Q4 2025 net profit update.

The provided text does not specify record dates or payout timelines for these dividends, so investors would need to rely on the company’s official filings for those details.

Market impact: what the numbers indicate

From the March 2026 quarter data, the biggest takeaway is the combination of 30.06% sales growth and a higher OPM of 30.12%. The gap between revenue growth and profit growth suggests improved operating efficiency in that period, as reflected in the OPM increase versus the year-ago quarter.

The Q3 FY26 dataset reinforces the picture of sequential growth, with total income rising from ₹948.22 crore to ₹1,108.67 crore and PAT rising from ₹193.10 crore to ₹241.50 crore. These figures, taken together, point to a period of improving quarterly momentum in the financial metrics explicitly provided.

Why this matters: analysis within the disclosed facts

CRISIL’s reported numbers across the periods mentioned show two themes supported by the data: revenue expansion and improving profitability. The margin figure provided for the March quarter supports the profit growth, while the Q3 FY26 comparisons show a clear quarter-on-quarter improvement in both PBT and PAT.

Separately, the FY25 full-year increase in net profit to ₹766.01 crore, from ₹684.07 crore in FY24, establishes that the company delivered year-on-year growth at the annual level as well. Dividend references, including the ₹8 per share interim dividend and the ₹61 per share total annual dividend, add another data point investors track when comparing returns across periods.

Conclusion

CRISIL’s March 2026 quarter data showed net profit rising to ₹233.26 crore on sales of ₹1,057.66 crore, with operating margin improving to 30.12%. Other disclosures cited Q3 FY26 total income of ₹1,108.67 crore and FY25 net profit of ₹766.01 crore. The next concrete milestones for investors are the company’s subsequent scheduled earnings updates and any further board-approved dividend declarations referenced through official filings.
