STL Networks Ltd reported a net loss of Rs 25.64 crore for FY2026, a sharp reversal from a profit of Rs 30.92 crore in FY2025. Revenue declined 19.7% to Rs 851.17 crore from Rs 1,059.90 crore. EBITDA fell to Rs 92.97 crore (margin ~10.9%) from Rs 137.80 crore (margin ~13%). Finance costs rose to Rs 110.41 crore from Rs 84.08 crore. The company posted a Q4 loss of Rs 13.22 crore on revenue of Rs 180.60 crore. Operating cash flows remained negative at Rs 108.70 crore (vs negative Rs 168.90 crore prior year). Long-term borrowings surged to Rs 315.56 crore from Rs 23.05 crore due to issuance of two NCD tranches (Rs 150 crore at 10.25% and Rs 100 crore at 10.35%). Total debt-equity stands at 0.75x. The auditors (Price Waterhouse) issued an unmodified opinion with no qualifications. Note 5 discloses slow-moving contract assets and trade receivables of Rs 715.53 crore, including Rs 405.76 crore pending regulatory approvals and Rs 307.15 crore under arbitration. The company also recognised a one-time charge of Rs 5.12 crore due to new labour codes.
STL Networks swung from profit to loss with revenue falling ~20% and negative operating cash flows raising liquidity concerns. The sharp increase in borrowings and high finance costs further pressure profitability. Investors should monitor cash burn and receivables recovery.
