NIIT Learning Systems reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹525.2 crore, up 22% YoY, but management admitted it fell short of expectations due to transient budget pullbacks from two large clients. EBITDA margin contracted to 19% (20%+ ex-Sweet Rush), while PAT surged 58% YoY to ₹77.1 crore. Full-year EBITDA margin of 20.3% landed within the guided range. The company signed five new annuity clients, bringing the total to 110, and revenue visibility improved to $49 million. AI-enabled revenue reached 13% of total revenue. For FY27, management guided high single-digit revenue growth and 18-20% EBITDA margins, reflecting macro uncertainty and elongated decision cycles. The key risk is that budget pullbacks could persist if macroeconomic conditions worsen, delaying the expected recovery in Q1.
