First Fintec Limited reported a 23.7% increase in total revenue to ₹274.1 million for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company’s net loss narrowed significantly to ₹5.4 million, down from ₹9.4 million in the previous year, driven by higher operating income and improved operational efficiency.
The company has scheduled its 26th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Tuesday, September 29, 2026. The meeting will convene via video conferencing to adopt the audited financial statements for FY26 and appoint new statutory auditors.
Financial Performance
Revenue from operations rose to ₹252.9 million from ₹183.1 million in FY25. Total expenditure increased to ₹256.0 million from ₹202.1 million, reflecting higher employee benefit expenses and operating costs. Profit before tax stood at ₹1.5 million, compared to ₹2.1 million in the prior year.
| Metric | FY26 (₹) | FY25 (₹) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | 2,52,86,732 | 1,83,12,237 | +38.1% |
| Other Income | 21,26,471 | 38,52,206 | -44.8% |
| Total Revenue | 2,74,13,203 | 2,21,64,443 | +23.7% |
| Net Loss After Tax | (5,37,879) | (9,38,537) | -42.7% |
What the Numbers Show
The narrowing net loss was primarily driven by a significant decline in deferred tax liability recognition. While profit before tax decreased by approximately 28%, the provision for deferred tax fell sharply from ₹11.2 million in FY25 to ₹6.7 million in FY26. This reduction in non-cash tax charges offset the lower pre-tax profit, resulting in a substantially smaller bottom-line loss.
