Transcorp H1 profit falls as forex and realty margins weaken

Transcorp International Limited reported consolidated profit after tax of Rs 2.6792 crore for the half year ended September 30, 2026, down from Rs 2.7320 crore a year earlier, even as total revenue rose to Rs 475.7063 crore from Rs 468.5207 crore. Lower forex and money-transfer earnings, a weaker travel result and a wider real-estate loss shaped the outcome.

What were Transcorp’s H1 consolidated results?

Transcorp’s consolidated profit after tax declined 1.9% to Rs 2.6792 crore in the half year ended September 30, 2026, from Rs 2.7320 crore in the corresponding period of 2025. Profit before tax rose to Rs 3.5535 crore from Rs 3.4859 crore, but total tax expense increased to Rs 0.8743 crore from Rs 0.7539 crore, reducing the post-tax result.

Total revenue increased 1.5% to Rs 475.7063 crore from Rs 468.5207 crore. Total expenses decreased to Rs 476.1472 crore from Rs 477.3348 crore, while profit before the share of associate loss was Rs 3.5591 crore. Transcorp also recorded a Rs 0.0056 crore share of loss from an associate in the six-month period.

Basic earnings per share, or EPS, were Rs 0.84 for the half year, compared with Rs 0.86 in the prior-year period. Diluted EPS was Rs 0.85 in both periods. Total comprehensive income fell to Rs 2.6129 crore from Rs 3.4631 crore, reflecting other comprehensive income movements in addition to the lower reported profit.

Which Transcorp segments affected H1 earnings?

Transcorp’s foreign exchange and money-transfer segment remained its largest reported business, but its half-year segment result declined to Rs 2.0282 crore from Rs 2.1005 crore. Segment revenue decreased to Rs 474.4346 crore from Rs 476.0638 crore, a fall of Rs 1.6292 crore from the comparable half year.

Travel, ticketing and car rental reported revenue of Rs 2.4889 crore for the half year, up from Rs 2.4257 crore a year earlier. However, its segment result declined to Rs 0.2743 crore from Rs 0.3847 crore. The disclosed figures therefore show that the segment’s higher revenue was not matched by a higher result before tax and interest.

The real-estate and building-rent segment reported a loss before tax and interest of Rs 0.6707 crore, compared with a Rs 0.2923 crore loss in the prior-year half. The loss widened by Rs 0.3784 crore and contributed to a decline in total segment results to Rs 1.6318 crore from Rs 2.1929 crore.

Conclusion

Transcorp’s first-half results show that the 1.5% increase in total revenue to Rs 475.7063 crore did not translate into higher profit after tax. The forex and money-transfer result fell by Rs 0.0723 crore, the travel result declined by Rs 0.1104 crore and the real-estate and building-rent loss widened by Rs 0.3784 crore, while tax expense also increased.

The filing does not disclose a revenue target, margin target or turnaround plan for the real-estate and building-rent segment. The next reported results will show whether the September 2026 quarter’s Rs 0.5687 crore profit before tax, Rs 0.3773 crore real-estate loss and lower forex segment result continue beyond the half year ended September 30, 2026.
