Key Points

Positve

Consolidated revenue grew 15% year-on-year to Rs 4,182 crores, with broad-based double-digit growth across all three core segments.
PAT and EPS both increased 61% year-on-year, reflecting strong operating leverage and profitability improvement.
Professional staffing delivered a 12% year-on-year EBITDA growth with a healthy 11% margin, driven by GCC-led high-value roles.
Overseas business posted 17% year-on-year revenue growth with stable 6.2% EBITDA margins, led by strong performance in Malaysia and the Middle East.
The company remains zero-debt with a healthy net cash position, supported by disciplined capital allocation and a Rs 261 crore income tax refund.

Negative

General staffing EBITDA margin contracted 20 basis points sequentially due to the annual merit cycle and a one-time Rs 176 crore revenue impact from the new Labour Code.
BFSI vertical in general staffing saw a marginal decline, facing regulatory headwinds on outsourcing norms.
The new Labour Code implementation created a one-time pass-through revenue impact of Rs 176 crore, which did not contribute to bottom-line growth.
Professional staffing EBITDA dipped sequentially due to the annual merit cycle and variable pay reset, though margins remained double-digit.
Digital platform businesses remain in the investment phase, with no immediate contribution to profitability as the company builds its Quest 2.0 strategy.
