2-Min Summary
Redington delivered its best quarter ever with revenue of ₹33,269 crore (+25% YoY) and PAT (ex-exceptionals) of ₹467 crore (1.4% margin). India led with 50% revenue growth and 41% PAT growth, driven by PC pre-buying ahead of component shortages, large deals (~₹1,500 crore in endpoint solutions, ~₹1,100 crore in PSG), and strong mobility/SSG momentum. Middle East was impacted by the West Asia crisis (March disruption), but Africa and GCCL continued strong. SSG now contributes 17% of revenue (up from 15% in FY25). Management expects India momentum to continue, Middle East softness in H1 FY27, and sustained SSG growth. Key risk: prolonged West Asia crisis could further pressure Middle East operations and margins.

Full-year large deals totaled ~₹2,500 crore, with Q4 alone at ₹1,600+ crore; pipeline expected to grow.
AI PCs (>40 TOPS) accounted for 41% of India PC revenue, indicating premiumization and AI adoption.
