Updater Services Limited reported FY2026 revenue of ₹29,602 Mn (up 7% YoY), but Adjusted EBITDA declined 13% to ₹1,759 Mn with margins contracting to 5.9% from 7.3% in FY25. PAT fell 30% to ₹828 Mn. Q4 FY26 revenue was ₹7,496 Mn (up 3% YoY) with EBITDA of ₹493.5 Mn (down 6%). One-time charges included ₹211 Mn loss on Avon receivables and ₹54 Mn labour code provisioning. The company remains a net cash entity with negative net debt-to-equity of -0.24X and cash reserves of ₹4,565.5 Mn. Management attributed margin pressure to strategic higher-volume contracts with upfront costs, BSS segment sluggishness, and sales mix changes, while stating profitability should normalize as contracts mature.
The margin contraction and PAT decline are near-term headwinds for shareholders, though the company's net cash position and strong cash generation provide financial stability. Management's guidance on margin normalization as contracts mature may offer some optimism for recovery in FY27.
