Standalone net profit: ₹18.7 crore vs ₹15.27 crore

The standalone comparison highlighted in the update shows an improvement in bottom-line performance in Q1 FY27. Standalone net profit was stated at ₹18.7 crore, compared with ₹15.27 crore in the same quarter last year. The year-on-year change is presented as approximately 22.46%. This aligns broadly with the separate mention of a 22.2% year-on-year increase in Q1 FY27 profit. The report frames this as a continuation of a positive growth trajectory.

Consolidated financials show higher income and PAT

The consolidated numbers shared for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 indicate revenue expansion and improved profitability. Revenue from operations in Q1 FY27 was reported at ₹152.26 crore, compared with ₹137.65 crore in Q1 FY26. Total income for Q1 FY27 stood at ₹153.07 crore, versus ₹138.75 crore in Q1 FY26. Total expenses rose to ₹127.47 crore in Q1 FY27 from ₹118.47 crore in Q1 FY26. Profit before tax (PBT) increased to ₹25.60 crore from ₹20.28 crore a year earlier. Profit after tax (PAT) was reported at ₹18.66 crore, up from ₹15.27 crore in Q1 FY26.

Depreciation drop and accounting policy change

The results note that profit growth was supported by a decline in depreciation costs. A drop in depreciation of ₹5.98 crore was cited as a key contributor to the year-on-year improvement in Q1 FY27 profit. The reduction was linked to an accounting policy change, as stated in the update. Alongside this, revenue growth was described as reflecting sustained demand in the company’s advertising business segment. The update positions these factors as drivers behind margin improvement.

Finance costs eased sequentially

The filing-style summary also highlighted a reduction in finance costs on a quarter-on-quarter basis. Finance costs were reported at ₹4.01 crore in Q1 FY27, down from ₹5.97 crore in the previous quarter. The note said this supported improved bottom-line margins. The sequential comparison in the consolidated table shows Q4 FY26 PAT of ₹21.10 crore versus ₹18.66 crore in Q1 FY27, indicating that while year-on-year profit rose, profit was lower than the immediately preceding quarter. Revenue from operations was also lower sequentially at ₹152.26 crore in Q1 FY27 versus ₹161.92 crore in Q4 FY26.

A note on the profit figure presented in lakh

One part of the results summary stated that consolidated net profit after tax for Q1 FY27 was ₹186.56 lakh, and standalone PAT was ₹186.86 lakh. The detailed quarterly table, however, reports Q1 FY27 PAT as ₹1,865.55 lakh (₹18.66 crore), with Q1 FY26 PAT as ₹1,526.87 lakh (₹15.27 crore). Both sets of figures are present in the provided material, but the table values align with the standalone profit figure of about ₹18.7 crore cited elsewhere. Investors typically reconcile such differences by referring to the official exchange filing and the full set of financial statements.

FY26 context: revenue ₹576 crore and profitability improvement

Separately, the FY2025-26 summary in the provided text stated that revenue reached ₹576 crore, up 27% year-on-year. It also said net profit more than doubled, rising 107% year-on-year.
