Darshna Agarwal, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, signed the disclosure submitted to the BSE on August 6, 2026. The registered office of Helpage Finlease Limited is located at S-191/C, 3rd Floor, Manak Complex, School Block, Shakarpur, Delhi-110092.

Helpage Finlease Limited reported a net profit of ₹84.09 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reflecting an 8.35% increase from ₹77.61 lakh in the corresponding quarter of FY25. The company’s total income from operations rose by 7.1% year-on-year to ₹332.51 lakh, up from ₹310.49 lakh in Q1FY25. This growth underscores steady operational execution despite broader market fluctuations in the financial services sector.

The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on August 05, 2026. The unaudited standalone financial results were filed with the stock exchanges under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The findings were published in Financial Express and Jansatta on August 06, 2026.

Financial Performance Overview

Helpage Finlease delivered improved profitability in Q1FY26, with earnings per share (EPS) rising to ₹0.85 from ₹0.78 in the prior year quarter. On a sequential basis, the net profit more than doubled from ₹39.05 lakh in Q4FY25, indicating strong momentum entering the new fiscal year.

The paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹99.48 million, with a face value of ₹10 per share. No extraordinary items were reported during the period, and reserves excluding revaluation reserve showed no movement.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between the sharp sequential jump in net profit and the modest year-on-year revenue growth suggests improved cost efficiency or favorable one-time adjustments in the current quarter. While revenue increased by only 7.1% compared to the same quarter last year, the net profit margin expanded significantly from approximately 25% in Q1FY25 to 25.3% in Q1FY26. More notably, the sequential improvement in profitability—from ₹39.05 lakh in Q4FY25 to ₹84.09 lakh in Q1FY26—highlights a potential turnaround in operational leverage as the company enters FY26.
