Computer Age Management Services Limited reported a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) attributable to owners of ₹128.02 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a 17.3% year-on-year increase from ₹109.09 crore in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by an 18.3% rise in EBITDA to ₹183 crore and significant margin expansion, signaling robust operational leverage despite challenging market conditions. This performance underscores the company’s ability to scale profits faster than revenue through cost discipline and diversification into non-mutual fund segments.
The results were announced on August 3, 2026, by Computer Age Management Services Limited, India’s largest registrar and transfer agent for mutual funds. Consolidated revenue from operations grew 11.5% year-on-year to ₹395.03 crore. Profit before tax (PBT), after eliminating non-controlling interest, rose 19.6% to ₹173.97 crore. Basic EPS for the quarter stood at ₹5.16. The company also recommended an interim dividend of ₹2.50 per share.

PAT margins improved to 31.1% from 29.7% year-ago. Non-mutual fund businesses contributed significantly to this performance, with revenue growing 28.4% year-on-year to account for 14.9% of total revenue.

What the Numbers Show
The divergence between revenue growth (11.5%) and EBITDA growth (18.3%) highlights significant operating leverage within CAMS’ business model. While top-line expansion was steady, cost discipline allowed margins to expand by 270 basis points. Furthermore, the rapid growth in non-MF revenue (28.4%) compared to overall revenue growth suggests that diversification is becoming a primary driver of value creation, reducing reliance on the cyclical nature of mutual fund flows.
