S Chand delivered revenue of Rs 7,987m (up 11% YoY) in FY26, in line with its Rs 8,000m guidance. EBITDA margin came in at 18.1%, within the guided range of 18%-20%. PAT grew 21% YoY to Rs 731m, driven by a strong Q4 where revenue rose 16% and EBITDA rose 21%. The company completed its first international acquisition — CPD Singapore Education Services in January 2026 — for the K-12 supplementary books segment. It remains net debt-free with net cash of Rs 1,048m and generated strong operating cash flows of Rs 747m. Content licensing revenues surged 60%+ to Rs 318m and the company targets over Rs 400m from this stream in FY27. An interim dividend of Rs 4/share was announced. Management is optimistic about FY27-28 as new syllabus books for K-8 are already released and CBSE plans to launch new syllabus for Classes 9-12 in coming months.
Strong FY26 results meeting guidance across revenue, margins, and profitability signal reliable execution. Net debt-free status, growing cash generation, and the international acquisition add financial and strategic depth. The upcoming complete adoption of new syllabus books across K-12 should support a solid growth trajectory over the next two years.
