AI summary

Route Mobile reported consolidated revenue of ₹4,408.21 crore for FY26, down 3.7% from ₹4,575.62 crore in FY25. Profit after tax fell 23% to ₹256.94 crore from ₹333.93 crore, with EPS declining to ₹37.94 from ₹50.69. The company recorded exceptional items totaling ₹135.87 crore including a ₹107.96 crore write-off from an arbitration settlement with a vendor over SMS volume commitments, and ₹27.91 crore write-off from another vendor who ceased operations. Auditors Walker Chandiok & Co LLP issued an unmodified (clean) opinion, though they included an Emphasis of Matter on these vendor write-offs. The Board recommended a final dividend of ₹2 per share, bringing total FY26 dividend to ₹11 per share. Total comprehensive income rose to ₹428.12 crore from ₹357.62 crore, helped by ₹171.91 crore foreign currency translation gains from overseas subsidiaries.

Likely market impact

Revenue and profit declines indicate operational headwinds from vendor disputes and market conditions, though strong cash flow (₹581 crore operating cash flow) and 138 basis point EBITDA margin expansion show underlying business resilience. The large exceptional write-offs are one-time items but signal risks in vendor management.
