Chetana Education Limited has submitted the written transcript of its earnings conference call for H2 and FY26, held on May 26, 2026, to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The filing, made in compliance with Regulation 30 read with Regulation 46(2)(oa) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, provides detailed insights into the company's financial performance and strategic outlook. The transcript is now available on the company's website under the Investors Relations section.

Financial Performance Overview

For the fiscal year 2025-26, Chetana Education reported a Total Income of INR 109.4 Crs, an increase from INR 102 Crs in the previous year. The company achieved an EBITDA of INR 21.4 Crs and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of INR 13.5 Crs. The Return on Equity (ROE) stood at 15.70%, while the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) was recorded at 18.38%. Management noted that while the top line grew by 6.5%, the PAT margin remained relatively flat due to a government provision for gratuity and initial losses incurred by its subsidiary, Dijaa, which operates an OTT channel platform.

Strategic Initiatives and Guidance

Management outlined several key initiatives aimed at transforming the company into a comprehensive education solutions provider. These include the Smart School Project (SSP), a paper stationery division, and a teacher's portal called Books and Beyond. The company is also focusing on digital content through its OTT platform, DOTTSTAR, which generated approximately INR 1 Cr in revenue in FY26. Looking ahead, the company expects double-digit growth in the top line and anticipates a PAT growth of 15% to 20% year-on-year for the upcoming financial years.

Operational Metrics

The conference call highlighted the company's expanding digital footprint. The QR-enabled product line now contributes around 15% to the total revenue, up from 3% previously. The OTT platform is currently active in 75 to 80 schools, with a target to onboard at least 300 schools in the coming year. Additionally, the company has strengthened its sales team and discontinued operations in underperforming regions like Kerala and Hyderabad to focus on high-potential markets such as Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
