Data Patterns (India) Limited reported a 16.8% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations to ₹116.03 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, but saw its net profit decline by 13.5% to ₹22.06 crore. The divergence between top-line growth and bottom-line contraction highlights rising operational costs, particularly in employee benefits and other expenses, which outpaced revenue gains during the period.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results at a meeting held on July 30, 2026. The results were reviewed in accordance with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Deloitte Haskins & Sells, the statutory auditors, issued an unmodified limited review report on the financial statement.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations stood at ₹116.03 crore in Q1FY27, compared to ₹99.33 crore in the same quarter last year. Other income decreased to ₹7.31 crore from ₹10.55 crore in Q1FY26. Total income for the quarter was ₹123.34 crore.

Total expenses rose to ₹93.86 crore from ₹75.93 crore in Q1FY26. Key expense drivers included:

• Cost of materials consumed: ₹30.73 crore (down from ₹57.16 crore in Q1FY26)
• Employee benefits expenses: ₹42.53 crore (up from ₹36.38 crore in Q1FY26)
• Other expenses: ₹17.61 crore (up from ₹10.77 crore in Q1FY26)

Profit before tax was ₹29.48 crore, down from ₹33.95 crore in Q1FY26. After accounting for a tax expense of ₹7.42 crore, profit for the period was ₹22.06 crore, compared to ₹25.50 crore in the previous year’s corresponding quarter. Earnings per share (basic and diluted) were ₹3.94, down from ₹4.55 in Q1FY26.

What the Numbers Show

While revenue growth of 16.8% indicates strong demand for the company’s defence electronics products, the margin compression is notable. Employee benefits expenses grew by 16.9%, nearly matching revenue growth, while other expenses surged by 63.5%. Although cost of materials consumed dropped significantly from ₹57.16 crore to ₹30.73 crore, the overall expense base expanded faster than revenue, squeezing profitability. This suggests that operational efficiencies have not yet fully offset the higher fixed and administrative costs incurred during the quarter.

QIP Utilization Update

The company provided an update on the utilization of proceeds from its Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) issued in March 2023. As of June 30, 2026, ₹461.49 crore has been utilized out of the total ₹487.74 crore raised. The unutilized amount stands at ₹26.25 crore, primarily allocated to product development (₹24.65 crore) and setting up an EMI-EMC Testing Facility (₹1.60 crore). All other objects, including working capital funding and debt repayment, have been fully utilized.

Segment and Corporate Information

Data Patterns operates exclusively in the manufacture, sale, and service of defence electronics, with no reportable segments under Ind AS 108. The company has no subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures as of June 30, 2026. Paid-up equity share capital remains unchanged at ₹11.20 crore.
