2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Quess Corp delivered a steady Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹3,892 crore (+6% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹86 crore (+28% YoY), driven by margin expansion in professional staffing (12%+ margin) and overseas (6.2% blended). PAT surged 167% YoY to ₹64 crore, aided by operating leverage and lower exceptional items. The structural shift toward high-margin businesses (now 50% of profitability) underpins the 2.2% EBITDA margin, up 37 bps YoY. Management guided for 2%+ margins in the near term and 2.4% over three years, with professional staffing targeting 11-12% margins. General staffing added 26,000 net headcount but faced headwinds from labor code implementation and project discontinuations. Key risk: geopolitical instability in the Middle East could impact overseas revenue, though management noted portfolio diversification into essential services.
