Analysis:

Revenue from operations increased substantially by Rs1,295.30 lakhs or 128.42% from FY2024-25 to FY2025- 26. This growth was primarily attributable to increased student enrolments, expansion of institutional partnerships, higher sales of learning devices and courseware, and continued growth across the Companys Edutech business verticals.

• FY2025: Rs1,010.58 lakhs

• FY2026: Rs398.83 lakhs (17.26% of total income)

• FY2025: Rs234.52 lakhs (23.21% of total income)

Analysis:

The cost of operations increased by Rs164.31 lakhs or 70.06% in FY2025-26, primarily due to higher procurement of learning devices and courseware to support business expansion. However, cost of operations as a percentage of total income declined from 23.21% in FY2024-25 to 17.26% in FY2025-26, reflecting improved operating efficiencies, better procurement management and benefits arising from economies of scale.

Finance Costs

FY2026: Rs44.82 lakhs (1.94% of total income)

• FY2025: Rs20.74 lakhs (2.05% of total income)

Analysis:

Finance costs increased by Rs24.08 lakhs or 116.10%, primarily due to increased utilisation of borrowings for business expansion and working capital requirements. Despite the increase, finance costs as a percentage of total income remained well controlled.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

FY2026: Rs309.24 lakhs (13.39% of total income)

• FY2025: Rs77.92 lakhs (7.71% of total income)

Analysis:

• FY2025: Rs308.18 lakhs (30.50% of total income)

Analysis:

Other expenses increased by Rs186.24 lakhs or 60.43%, mainly due to expansion in business operations. However, the increase was significantly lower than the growth in total income, resulting in a reduction in other expenses as a percentage of total income from 30.50% in FY2024-25 to 21.40% in FY2025-26, demonstrating improved cost efficiency and scalability of operations.

Profitability

Profit Before Tax (PBT)

FY2026: Rs951.20 lakhs (41.17% of total income)

FY2025: Rs309.63 lakhs (30.64% of total income)

Analysis:

Profit before tax increased by Rs641.56 lakhs or 207.20%, primarily driven by strong revenue growth, improved operating efficiencies, and effective management of operating expenses despite continued investments in technology and business expansion.

Provision for Taxes

Current Tax: Current tax expense amounted to Rs159.22 lakhs in FY2025-26 as compared to Nil in FY2024-25, primarily due to the substantial increase in taxable profits during the year and the exhaustion of brought forward tax losses available for set-off.

Deferred Tax: Deferred tax expense increased by Rs12.65 lakhs, from Rs19.21 lakhs in FY2024-25 to Rs31.86

lakhs in FY2025-26, primarily on account of timing differences arising between the accounting treatment and tax treatment of certain assets and liabilities.

Analysis:

The increase in the overall tax expense reflects the Companys significantly improved profitability during FY2025-26, resulting in recognition of current tax liability, while the increase in deferred tax expense is attributable to temporary timing differences recognized in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

Net Profit After Tax (PAT)

• FY24: Rs34.38 lakhs (7.44% of total revenue)

Analysis:

Other key ratios:

Particulars

For the Financial Years ended March 31,
2025 2024
Return on Net worth % 41.66% 13.08%
Current Ratio (times) 3.30 1.71

Return on Net worth

This is defined as Net profit after tax by Average Net worth, based on the Restated summary statements.

Current Ratio

This is defined as total current assets by total current liabilities, based on the Restated Summary Statements.

The Net Capital Turnover Ratio is calculated as revenue from operations divided by net working capital (current assets less current liabilities). While revenue from operations increased significantly in Fiscal 2026 as compared

to Fiscal 2024, the ratio declined mainly due to a higher working capital base as at the balance sheet date, resulting in a larger denominator.

The increase in working capital was driven by higher balances under current assets. Cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances increased primarily due to improved internal accruals in the Fiscal 2026, with a portion of funds remaining temporarily unutilized pending deployment. Inventory levels increased due to bundling of digital offerings with learning devices. Trade receivables decreased marginally, which typically operate on longer credit cycles but offer higher contract values and improved margins.

Accordingly, the decline in the Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio and increase in debtor days reflect the evolving revenue mix and scale expansion rather than deterioration in credit quality. Similarly, the increase in working capital facility utilization aligns with higher operational scale and receivable cycles associated with enterprise-led growth.

Our working capital requirements have increased in line with the significant scale-up in operations and expansion in our business model, resulting in a perceived deterioration in working capital efficiency. However, the increase is primarily structural and growth-led rather than indicative of operational inefficiencies.

Total working capital increased from Rs91.03 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 to Rs192.68 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. This increase is attributable to (i) scale-up in inventory stocking, (ii) the growth in trade payables has been lower than the growth in revenue and (iii) build-up of operational current assets to support growth initiatives. Despite strong revenue growth, the working capital cycle has expanded moderately due to strategic investments in inventory and channel expansion, which are expected to normalize over time as the Company attains operating leverage and improves procurement cycles.

Detailed Working Capital Gap Analysis

1. Inventory

Inventory increased from Rs71.48 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 to Rs347.64 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. The increase is primarily attributable to:

• Strategic stocking of learning devices and courseware to support the significant expansion in operations.

• Higher procurement of inventories to cater to increased student enrolments and anticipated demand of business.

• Expansion into new geographies and distribution channels, requiring higher inventory levels to ensure timely delivery and uninterrupted service.

• Procurement in bulk quantities to achieve economies of scale, strengthen supply chain efficiency and improve overall gross margins.

2. Trade Receivables

Trade receivables decreased from Rs66.13 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 to Rs59.66 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. This movement is primarily attributable to:

• Improved collection efficiency and strengthened receivables management during the year.

• Faster realization of dues from institutional customers and channel partners.

• Better credit monitoring and disciplined collection processes despite substantial growth in revenue.

• The reduction in trade receivables reflects the Companys prudent credit management practices and healthy cash conversion cycle.

3. Other Current Assets

Other current assets increased from Rs16.01 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 to Rs69.38 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. The increase is primarily attributable to:

• An increase in TDS receivable from Rs15.62 lakhs to Rs39.14 lakhs, primarily due to higher tax deductions corresponding to the significant increase in revenue during the year.

• Advance income tax paid amounting to Rs30.00 lakhs as at March 31, 2026, reflecting the Companys improved profitability and advance tax obligations arising during the year.

• Other current assets remained largely stable at Rs0.24 lakhs as at March 31, 2026.

The increase in other current assets is principally attributable to statutory tax-related balances arising in the ordinary course of business and is consistent with the Companys increased scale of operations and profitability during the year.

4. Current Liabilities and Trade Payables

Trade payables increased from Rs50.69 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 to Rs88.77 lakhs as at March 31, 2026, primarily reflecting the higher procurement of inventories and increased scale of operations. However, the growth in trade payables has remained lower than the growth in revenue from operations, demonstrating the Companys efficient working capital management, disciplined supplier payment practices and strong vendor relationships.

Other current liabilities and provisions increased from ^11.90 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 to Rs195.23 lakhs as at March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to higher statutory liabilities, provision for current income tax, employee-related accruals, outstanding business expenses and other operational liabilities arising from the significant expansion in business activities during the year.
