Updater Services Limited reported FY26 total revenue of ₹ 29,602 Mn, up 7% YoY, with IFM contributing ₹ 19,945 Mn (+10%) and BSS contributing ₹ 9,657 Mn (+1%). Adjusted EBITDA fell to ₹ 1,759 Mn (margin 5.9% vs 7.3% in FY25), impacted by one-time Avon receivable provisions (₹ 211 Mn) and a ₹ 54 Mn charge from new labour codes. PAT declined to ₹ 828 Mn from ₹ 1,190 Mn in FY25. The company is net cash with negative net debt-to-equity of -0.24X and cash reserves of ₹ 4,565 Mn. Management attributed margin pressure to strategic decisions to take higher-volume contracts with upfront costs, expecting profitability to normalize as contracts mature. Denave showed strong Q4 margin recovery driven by better service mix and AI-led automation. ROCE dropped to 14.9% from 22.1% in FY25.
FY26 results show revenue growth but significant profitability decline due to one-time charges and margin compression from contract mix changes and new contract ramp-up costs, suggesting near-term pressure on earnings and margins despite strong cash position.
