Control Print has announced its audited financial results for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported its highest-ever Q4 revenue of ₹1,341.6 million, marking a 21.9% increase year-over-year. For the full year, revenue from operations reached ₹4.46B, compared to ₹3.85B in the previous year. Profit for the period stood at ₹803.1M, down from ₹1.19B in the prior year, which included a deferred tax gain.

Financial Performance

The table below summarises the company's standalone financial performance for the year ended March 31, 2026:

The decline in net profit for the current year is attributed to the absence of the deferred tax income recognized in the previous year. In the prior financial year, the company recognized a MAT credit entitlement of ₹4.96B as deferred tax income, a one-time occurrence that is not present in the current year's results.

Dividend Declaration

The Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹6 per equity share, equivalent to 60% of the face value of ₹10 each. This dividend is subject to the approval of members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. Additionally, the company had declared and paid an interim dividend of ₹4 per share in February 2026. Consequently, the total dividend for the financial year amounts to ₹10 per share, representing 100% of the face value.

Segment and Operational Details

The company operates a single reportable segment, Coding & Marking Applications. During the year, Control Print recognized a capital investment subsidy of ₹3.99M from the Government of Himachal Pradesh, classified as exceptional income. The company also recognized a provision of ₹1.50M towards incremental liability following the notification of new Labour Codes.

The investor presentation highlighted that the installed base of printers has grown above 23,000 units, aiding continued growth in consumable sales. Revenue growth was supported by a price increase implemented in October 2025. EBITDA for Q4 FY26 grew by 24.9% YoY, led by the sale of higher-value printers and growing consumable sales.

Control Print Limited has entered into an Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment Agreement with CP Italy S.R.L., its step-down wholly owned subsidiary, to acquire patents and intellectual property rights (IPRs) for a consideration of EUR 2.86 Million. The development was disclosed to stock exchanges on May 8, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The transaction is intended to safeguard and consolidate the ownership of intellectual property within the Company.

Key Details of the IP Assignment Agreement

The agreement involves the assignment of all patents and IPR registrations and/or applications owned by CP Italy S.R.L. in favour of Control Print Limited. The following table summarises the key parameters of the transaction:

Corporate Structure and Relationship

CP Italy S.R.L. is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Control Print B.V., which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Control Print Limited. Accordingly, CP Italy S.R.L., Control Print B.V., and Control Print Limited form part of the same group. Given this relationship, the transaction qualifies as a related party transaction; however, it has been conducted on an arm's length basis.

Regulatory Approvals and Compliance

The audit committee and board of directors of Control Print Limited respectively approved the execution of the transaction on April 17, 2026. The disclosure has been made in accordance with SEBI Master Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026. No special rights — such as the right to appoint directors, first right to share subscription, or rights to restrict changes in capital structure — have been granted under the IP Assignment Agreement.

Strategic Rationale

The IP Assignment Agreement has been entered into for commercial expediency and other business reasons. By acquiring the intellectual property from its step-down subsidiary, Control Print Limited aims to centralise ownership of its patents and IPRs, thereby strengthening its overall intellectual property portfolio. The transaction does not involve any issuance of shares or loan arrangements, and no other special disclosures related to nominee directors or potential conflicts of interest are applicable.
