EMA Partners India reported FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹87 crore (+18% YoY), with EBITDA of ₹14 crore (+8% YoY) and PAT of ₹12 crore. The mature executive search business delivered 29% EBITDA margin (₹25 crore EBITDA), while new verticals (James Douglas, MyCloud) generated ₹5 crore revenue but incurred ₹11 crore EBITDA loss, dragging consolidated margins to 16.45% (-156bps YoY). H2 FY26 showed strong momentum with revenue up 35% YoY and EBITDA margins expanding 292bps to 14.25%. Management expects new businesses to turn EBITDA-positive in FY27, with core business targeting 18-20% organic growth and steady-state PAT margins of 25%. A ₹7.25 crore buyback (₹100/share) was announced. Key risk: Middle East geopolitical tensions could disrupt Dubai operations, which contributed ~28% of consolidated revenue.
