How did the June quarter compare with the previous year?

Knowledge Marine’s revenue increased 138.11% year-on-year in the June 2026 quarter, based on the company’s quarterly-results summary. The same summary showed revenue of ₹67.62 crore in the previous quarter and described a 70.67% quarter-on-quarter increase using that comparison set.

The supplied quarterly table listed total income of ₹49.03 crore for June 2025, ₹51.39 crore for September 2025, ₹93.24 crore for December 2025, ₹78.20 crore for March 2026 and ₹118.62 crore for June 2026. This sequence indicates that income moved higher over the five disclosed quarters, although it was not linear.

Profitability metrics also strengthened in the June 2026 income table. EBIT margin was reported at 59.35%, compared with 27.47% in March 2026, while net profit margin was 52.04%, compared with 33.52%. Basic EPS in that table was ₹25.67, against ₹9.63 in March.
