Firstsource Solutions Declares Highest Ever Dividend; Record Date Feb 20

Mumbai, February 04, 2026: Firstsource Solutions Ltd announced its highest-ever interim dividend of ₹5.50 per share for FY26 alongside its third-quarter results. The board approved the payout through an exchange filing dated February 3.

The dividend represents a 55% payout on the face value of ₹10 per share. The announcement follows the company’s quarterly earnings update.

Firstsource Solutions operates in the business process management segment and is a constituent of the BSE 500 index. The company has a market capitalisation of ₹21,596.26 crore and is part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group.

Key Dates And Timeline

The company fixed February 20, 2026, as the record date to determine eligible shareholders. By this date, investors are required to have shares in order to receive the dividend.

The interim dividend has been declared for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. The payout will be made in accordance with the statutory timelines.

Shares bought on or after the record date will not carry the dividend entitlement. Eligible shareholders will receive the credit directly to their registered accounts.

Purpose Behind The Interim Dividend

The interim dividend has been declared out of current-year earnings, supported by strong operating performance in Q3 FY2026 and Firstsource Solutions reported a 16.2% year-on-year rise in revenue to ₹24,431 million during the quarter, while EBIT grew 24.9%, indicating healthy profitability and cash generation.

The ₹5.50 per share payout is the highest interim dividend declared by the company so far, compared with ₹4.00 per share in February 2025 and ₹3.50 per share in each of the preceding three years and the increase aligns with the company’s improved earnings profile.

The declaration is consistent with Firstsource’s track record of periodic cash returns, while continuing to fund ongoing operations and business requirements.

Impact On Shareholders

Shareholders will receive ₹5.50 for each share held on the record date. Dividend payments provide cash income without altering shareholding or equity capital. There is no dilution or change in ownership structure.
