Net Profit Rises Even as Operational Revenue Softens

• Revenue from operations stood at ₹1,244.29 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to ₹1,285.65 crore in Q4 FY25, marking a quarter-on-quarter decline of 3.22%.
• On a year-on-year basis, revenue dropped by 1.95% from ₹1,268.97 crore in Q1 FY25.
• Despite the revenue dip, net profit rose by 11.99% YoY, from ₹152.03 crore in Q1 FY25 to ₹170.28 crore in Q1 FY26.
• Sequentially, net profit saw a moderate fall of 9.84%, down from ₹188.87 crore in Q4 FY25.

The performance reflects a steady bottom-line momentum despite a challenging external environment.

Higher Other Income Boosts Total Earnings Amid Volatile Revenues

• Other income for the quarter reached ₹63.57 crore, up from ₹57.08 crore in the previous quarter and significantly higher than ₹23 crore in Q1 FY25.
• This led to a total income of ₹1,307.86 crore in Q1 FY26, a 1.23% increase YoY, though down 2.6% QoQ.
• Total expenses were largely stable at ₹1,080.11 crore, showing minimal sequential and annual variations.

The rise in other income helped cushion the impact of declining operational revenue and played a critical role in sustaining profitability.

Standalone Net Profit Soars Due to Dividend Gains from Subsidiaries

• Tata Technologies reported a standalone net profit of ₹279.51 crore in Q1 FY26, up from ₹143.83 crore in Q4 FY25, though lower than ₹479.77 crore in Q1 FY25.
• Other income at the standalone level surged to ₹206.70 crore, primarily due to ₹145.39 crore dividend income from subsidiaries.
• The same quarter last year had recorded even higher dividend gains, amounting to ₹390.07 crore.

The fluctuations in standalone profit are directly linked to dividend inflows from group entities, which play a substantial role in quarterly earnings dynamics.

Engineering Services Show Pressure While Tech Solutions Hold Steady

• The services segment posted ₹963.65 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to ₹1,024.07 crore in Q4 FY25 and ₹985.50 crore in Q1 FY25.
• Technology solutions revenue stood at ₹280.64 crore, slightly above ₹261.58 crore in Q4 FY25 but marginally lower than ₹283.47 crore YoY.
• Total consolidated revenue across both segments amounted to ₹1,244.29 crore for the quarter.

While service revenue moderated, the technology segment showed stability, indicating differentiated performance across verticals.

Substantial Dividend Outflow Marks Strong Shareholder Return

• Tata Technologies declared a final dividend of ₹8.35 per share and a special dividend of ₹3.35 per share, resulting in a combined payout of ₹474.63 crore.
• This dividend distribution was approved at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 23 June 2025.

The move reflects the company’s continued commitment to rewarding shareholders while maintaining financial prudence.

Warren Harris, CEO and MD, stated that the Board has approved the Q1 FY26 results, underlining the company’s consistent focus on operational discipline and digital-led growth. He also acknowledged ongoing macroeconomic headwinds but expressed confidence in continued traction across key markets.

Tata Technologies Ltd, headquartered in Pune, is a global player in engineering services, product development IT, and digital transformation solutions. The company has 13 subsidiaries and one associate, BMW TechWorks India Pvt. Ltd., in which it holds strategic call and put options, reflecting its collaborative global footprint.
