Glottis Limited reported a profit after tax of ₹377 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of 33% from ₹561 crore in the previous year. Revenue from operations fell to ₹7,226 crore from ₹9,412 crore in FY25, primarily due to softening demand from geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East impacting global shipping and logistics activities. The company's Board of Directors approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results at its meeting held on May 25, 2026. The audio recording of the Post-Earnings Conference Call held on May 26, 2026, to discuss these results has been uploaded to the company's website.

Other income increased significantly to ₹68 crore for the year, driven by interest income from fixed deposits where IPO proceeds were temporarily invested. M/s. CNGSN & Associates LLP, Statutory Auditors, issued an audit report with an unmodified opinion on the financial results. The company reported that ₹7,125.67 lakh of IPO proceeds had been utilized by March 31, 2026, with no deviation in the use of funds.

Q4 Performance Highlights

Glottis reported Q4 standalone net profit of ₹107 crore, compared to ₹114 crore in the same period of the previous year. Quarterly revenue declined to ₹1,959 crore from ₹3,071 crore year-on-year, reflecting continued pressure from subdued global shipping and logistics demand. Despite the revenue decline, the company's Q4 EBITDA margin showed a marginal improvement, rising to 5.4% from 5.2% in the corresponding prior-year period.

Management Commentary

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Ramkumar Senthilvel, Managing Director, said: "The fourth quarter concluded an important year for the company and marked the completion of our first full financial year as a listed entity. During FY2026, the company remained focused on strengthening customer relationships, expanding its multimodal logistics capabilities and improving its operational network across key trade corridors. Despite a softer global freight environment and correction in shipping rates during the year, the company continued to deepen its presence across core business segments and diversified industry categories."

For FY2026, Revenue from Operations was ₹7,226 crore. Sea Import continued to be the largest business vertical, contributing nearly 78% of total revenue during the year. The company further strengthened its position in the export vertical during the year. Air Import revenue grew 23.6% YoY in FY2026, with its contribution to total revenue increasing to 2.4% from 1.5% in FY25. Air Export recorded even stronger momentum, with revenue more than doubling during the year and its contribution increasing to 1.2% from 0.4% in FY25.

Profitability during the year was impacted by lower freight realizations and moderation in shipment volumes across certain trade routes. EBITDA for FY2026 was ₹495 crore with a margin of 6.9%, while Profit After Tax was ₹377 crore with a margin of 5.2%. Throughout the year, the company remained focused on shipment-level profitability checks, variable cost alignment and tighter control on overheads to manage the impact of industry-wide rate corrections.

On the operational front, the company handled 89,098 TEUs during FY2026. Volumes during the year were lower compared to previous year as importers and exporters across sectors adopted a measured approach towards procurement and inventory planning due to freight rate volatility and changing global trade patterns. Despite lower volumes, customer engagement remained stable and repeat business improved. During the year, the company added 163 new customers, while the number of repeat customers also increased to 959 from 871, reflecting stronger customer retention and wider market reach.

Operational Expansion

The company further diversified its sector presence across Automobile, Agro Products, Chemicals, Textiles and Medical segments. Revenue from the Automobile segment more than doubled during FY2026, with its contribution increasing to 4.2% from 1.5% in FY25, supported by higher movement of auto components and engineering-linked cargo. The company added 32 shipping line connections and expanded its transportation capabilities by onboarding 11 transporters during the year to improve service flexibility and connectivity across routes.
