KPIT Technologies reported consolidated revenue of ₹64,549 million for FY26 (up ~10.5% from ₹58,423 million in FY25). However, profit after tax (PAT) declined significantly to ₹6,374 million from ₹8,396 million in FY25 — a ~24% drop. Q4 PAT stood at ₹1,630 million vs ₹2,447 million in Q4 FY25. The decline was driven by an exceptional charge of ₹597 million due to new labour codes, higher finance costs (₹737 million vs ₹424 million), and a share of loss from joint venture/associate of ₹376 million. The company completed multiple acquisitions (Caresoft Group, N-Dream AG) during the year resulting in significant goodwill of ~₹14,387 million. Borrowings surged to ₹4,622 million (from ₹15 million), reflecting aggressive inorganic growth funding. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹5.25 per share (52.5%). The company also announced a strategic stake acquisition in Cymotive Technologies (Israel-based automotive cybersecurity) for $60–120 million over 3 years.
PAT decline of ~24% YoY and rising debt levels due to acquisitions are concerns. The new labour code charge and higher finance costs compressed profitability. While revenue grew ~10.5%, margin compression is visible. The Cymotive acquisition adds cybersecurity capabilities but its turnover has been declining (from $42.4M to $19.2M in 3 years).
