Helpage Finlease reported a net profit of ₹84.09 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking an 8.3% increase from ₹77.61 lakh in the corresponding period last year. Revenue from operations rose 7.1% to ₹332.51 lakh, driven by higher interest income. The Board also appointed Abhishek Rajeshkumar Jain as an Independent Director and intimated the 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The Board of Directors met on August 5, 2026, to approve the unaudited standalone financial results pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Statutory Auditors R C Agarwal & Co. issued a limited review report with an unmodified opinion. Managing Director Sidharth Goyal signed the results.

Financial Performance

Interest income grew to ₹332.51 lakh from ₹310.49 lakh in Q1FY26, accounting for the entire revenue base. Total expenses declined 3.3% to ₹216.48 lakh, primarily due to lower finance costs of ₹189.17 lakh compared to ₹175.45 lakh previously. Employee benefit expenses increased modestly to ₹12.09 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The company’s profitability expansion outpaced revenue growth, indicating operational efficiency. While revenue rose 7.1%, net profit grew by 8.3%, suggesting better cost containment. Finance costs remained the largest expense head at ₹189.17 lakh, but their proportion relative to interest income improved slightly compared to the prior year quarter.
