2-Min Summary
Newgen Software reported FY26 revenue of ₹1,574 crore, up 6% YoY, with subscription revenue growing 24% to ₹525 crore and SaaS up 36%. PAT was ₹301 crore, impacted by ₹42 crore exceptional items; adjusted PAT was ₹334 crore (up 6% YoY). Annuity revenue reached 62% of total (up from 56% in FY25), improving visibility. US revenue grew 17% YoY, APAC 14%, while India and Middle East faced headwinds from delayed large deals and geopolitical uncertainty. Management highlighted a strong deal pipeline and order book growth of 13%, but refrained from giving FY27 guidance due to near-term uncertainty. Key risk: prolonged slowdown in large deal closures in India and Middle East could pressure license revenue.
