The Sandesh Limited submitted its unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025). Revenue from operations stood at Rs. 7,289.86 lakhs standalone (down from Rs. 7,536.13 lakhs in Q1 FY25, a ~3% decline). Profit before exceptional item and tax rose to Rs. 2,383.15 lakhs (vs Rs. 2,137.68 lakhs), boosted by a significant gain of Rs. 4,922.90 lakhs from investments shown under other income. Profit after tax grew roughly 16% YoY to around Rs. 1,867 lakhs (vs Rs. 1,605.52 lakhs). The company also recorded an exceptional net gain of Rs. 24.54 lakhs on sale of property, plant and equipment. The board fixed August 22, 2025 as the record date for the final dividend of Rs. 2.50 per equity share (face value Rs. 10) for FY25.
The quarter shows weak core media revenue but stronger bottom-line growth, largely driven by investment gains rather than operating performance — investors should watch the sustainability of this. A modest dividend and stable promoter-led governance (CMD continuation and reappointment of family directors) suggest continuity, though the heavy reliance on market-linked investment income is a risk factor.
