R Systems delivered a strong Q1 FY26 with revenue of ₹574.8 crore (+29.9% YoY), driven by volume growth, rupee depreciation, and the Novigo acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 276 bps YoY to 20.1%, aided by operational leverage and favorable forex. PAT surged 74.8% YoY to ₹75.8 crore. Organic revenue was flat QoQ due to fewer days and Q4 true-ups, but management expressed high confidence in a rebound. The company launched its AI studio 'Exico' and reported $82.5 million in TTM ACV wins, up from $76.5 million last quarter. AI-enabled services now contribute ~29% of revenue.
