Bharti Airtel reported consolidated revenue of Rs 553.8 billion for Q4 FY26 and Rs 2,109.7 billion for the full year, up 15.7% and 22% respectively vs prior year periods. Full-year profit after tax fell 9.8% to Rs 338.2 billion due to a Rs 31.6 billion exceptional charge in Q4 from regulatory and government levies re-assessment. Despite this, EBITDA margin expanded to 57.9% from 54.8% year-over-year, driven by higher revenues and operating leverage. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs 24 per fully paid-up equity share (face value Rs 5). Auditors Deloitte issued an unmodified opinion on the financial statements.
Revenue growth of 22% demonstrates strong operational performance, but the 9.8% decline in annual PAT due to a one-time regulatory charge tempers the positive outlook. The dividend recommendation and margin expansion are positives for shareholders.
