Datamatics Q1 FY27: Revenue up 9.9%, PAT jumps 43%

Stock slips after results despite profit growth

Datamatics Global Services share price fell 2.14% to ₹858.35 in trade after the company reported its Q1 FY27 results. The quarter ended June 30, 2026, and the company said it announced both standalone and consolidated financial results. The market reaction came even as the company reported higher year-on-year revenue and a sharper rise in profitability. Investors tracking the stock were also pointed to the official exchange filings on NSE and BSE for the verified revenue, EBITDA, and net profit figures.

What the company reported for Q1 FY27

Datamatics reported consolidated revenue from operations of ₹513.9 crore in Q1 FY27, up 9.9% year-on-year from ₹467.6 crore in Q1 FY26. On a sequential basis, revenue was marginally lower than Q4 FY26 at ₹519.3 crore, implying a 1.0% quarter-on-quarter decline. EBITDA rose 33.1% year-on-year to ₹101.1 crore, compared with ₹75.9 crore a year ago. EBITDA margin improved to 19.7%, an expansion of 343 basis points from 16.2% in Q1 FY26. The company also reported EBIT of ₹78.4 crore with an EBIT margin of 15.3%.

Profitability expands, PAT grows faster than revenue

Profit after tax (PAT) after NCI came in at ₹72.3 crore for Q1 FY27, up 43.5% year-on-year from ₹50.4 crore. PAT margin improved to 13.6% versus 10.5% in the year-ago quarter, a 309 bps expansion, and it was also higher than Q4 FY26 (8.3%). Diluted EPS rose to ₹12.24 from ₹8.52 in Q1 FY26, and was also higher than ₹7.48 in Q4 FY26. The results showed profitability growing faster than topline, led by a combination of higher operating profit and margin expansion.

Management commentary: “positive start” to FY27

Rahul Kanodia, Vice Chairman and CEO, said the company delivered a “positive start to FY27,” highlighting revenue of ₹513.9 crore and 9.9% year-on-year growth. The company update also cited EBITDA growth and the improvement in margins during the quarter. Separately, the broader results note referenced an ‘AI-first’ strategy and the integration of TNQTech as factors supporting performance. These statements were part of the Q1 FY27 results communication dated August 5, 2026, from Mumbai.

PBT and exceptional item context

Datamatics reported profit before tax (PBT) before exceptional items of ₹92.0 crore in Q1 FY27, compared with ₹63.9 crore in Q1 FY26. PBT margin before exceptional items was reported at 17.3% versus 13.3% a year ago. The company’s table also showed PBT after exceptional items at ₹92.0 crore for Q1 FY27, compared with ₹73.8 crore in Q4 FY26. A separate summary in the provided information noted an exceptional loss of ₹24.62 crore in Q4 FY26, which influenced the quarter’s comparability for PBT after exceptional items.

Key numbers table investors are focusing on

Board meeting, trading window, and compliance timeline

Datamatics had earlier scheduled a Board of Directors meeting for August 5, 2026, to consider and approve the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company also communicated that the quarter’s numbers would be unaudited and would be presented on both a standalone and consolidated basis. Alongside the board meeting notice, Datamatics informed the market that the trading window would close from July 1, 2026. It said the window would remain shut until 48 hours after the declaration of the unaudited financial results.

Earnings call scheduled for August 6

Datamatics disclosed that it would hold an earnings conference call with analysts and investors on Thursday, August 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM IST. The stated purpose of the call was management discussion for the first quarter FY27 results. The company also indicated that call details would be available on its website. For investors, such calls are typically used to understand segment performance, margin drivers, and near-term priorities, but the only confirmed detail here is the call schedule and its stated purpose.

Market impact: price reaction versus fundamentals

The stock’s 2.14% decline to ₹858.35 indicates that the immediate market reaction did not mirror the year-on-year improvement in margins and profit. The reported numbers show a modest quarter-on-quarter dip in revenue and a sequential decline in EBITDA from Q4 FY26, even though year-on-year comparisons were strong. Investors often weigh both trends together, particularly when margins can vary quarter to quarter. The company also directed investors to NSE and BSE filings for verified figures, underlining that the exchange disclosures remain the primary reference for the reported performance.

Why the Q1 print matters for Datamatics tracking

Q1 FY27 showed Datamatics growing revenue by 9.9% year-on-year and expanding EBITDA margin to 19.7%, which translated into a 43.5% jump in PAT. The margin expansion is clearly quantified in the results: 343 bps at the EBITDA level and 309 bps at the PAT margin level versus Q1 FY26. At the same time, sequential comparisons show revenue down 1.0% and EBITDA down 8.6% versus Q4 FY26, which may have influenced sentiment around the results day. The scheduled earnings call on August 6 is the next confirmed event where management will discuss the quarter’s performance.

Conclusion

Datamatics reported Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue of ₹513.9 crore and PAT of ₹72.3 crore, with EBITDA of ₹101.1 crore and an EBITDA margin of 19.7%. Even with the stock down 2.14% to ₹858.35, the disclosed figures show stronger year-on-year profitability and higher EPS. The next company event is the earnings call with analysts and investors on August 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM IST, as disclosed by the company.
