Prithvi Exchange, a RBI-licensed Authorised Dealer Category II forex services provider headquartered in Chennai with 36 branches, released its Q4 FY2025-26 investor presentation. The company reported a sharp decline in profitability: Net Profit fell 66.5% YoY to ₹271.55 lakhs, while Net Profit before exceptional items and tax dropped 68.1% to ₹349.47 lakhs, on total revenue of ₹37,326 lakhs (down 9.3%). Revenue peaked at ₹109,541 lakhs in Q1 FY25 but has trended downward since, with Q4 FY26 PBT at negative ₹53.7 lakhs. The company cited geo-political uncertainty impacting outbound travel, a travel sector slowdown affecting leisure forex demand, and an exceptional gratuity provision under the new Labour Code as key headwinds. New initiatives for FY27 include launching Prithvi-branded multi-currency forex cards, a self-service booking platform for bank partners, expanded bank empanelment, and fintech partnerships.
The steep profitability decline, particularly the Q4 loss and negative EPS of -0.44 in Q4 FY26, signals deteriorating operational performance driven by macro headwinds and a one-time regulatory charge, which is likely negative for near-term sentiment despite long-term digital transformation plans.
