Altius Telecom Infrastructure Trust has informed the Exchange regarding Disclosure of material issue
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
The Board of Directors of Data Link Investment Manager Private Limited, acting as the Investment Manager of Altius Telecom Infrastructure Trust, approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial information for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, at its meeting held on February 12, 2026. On a standalone basis, Q3 FY26 profit after tax was Rs. 9,720 million, sharply lower than Rs. 26,935 million in Q3 FY25, mainly because dividend income from subsidiaries dropped to Rs. 2,300 million from Rs. 18,258 million a year ago. Interest income remained largely stable at Rs. 10,965 million versus Rs. 12,122 million in the year-ago quarter, while finance costs rose to Rs. 3,296 million from Rs. 3,155 million. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, standalone PAT was Rs. 29,632 million (vs Rs. 46,185 million in 9M FY25), with earnings per unit of Rs. 9.72 versus Rs. 16.53. The Trust distributed Rs. 38,176 million to unitholders in 9M FY26, including the most recent payout of Rs. 4.2319 per unit on December 1, 2025. CRISIL and CARE Ratings both reaffirmed the highest AAA/Stable rating on the Trust's NCDs in late December 2025. Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued an unmodified limited review report on both the standalone and consolidated financial information.
The headline PAT decline looks steep but is driven by timing of subsidiary dividends rather than a deterioration in the underlying tower infrastructure business, where core interest income held up well; unitholders are still being rewarded through large ongoing cash distributions of over Rs. 38 billion in nine months, and reaffirmed AAA ratings underline the Trust's strong credit profile.
