Hybrid Financial Services reported a net profit of ₹58.22 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a 21% year-on-year increase from ₹73.71 lakh in Q1FY26. The Mumbai-based financial services firm saw revenue from operations rise 10% to ₹107.16 lakh, supported by growth in brokerage and commission income. The Board of Directors approved these unaudited financial results on July 31, 2026, alongside a limited review by statutory auditors S. Ramanand Aiyar & Co.

The company’s operational performance was bolstered by a 10.4% surge in brokerage and commission revenue, which reached ₹100.28 lakh compared to ₹92.51 lakh in the prior year period. Income from depository services also more than doubled to ₹6.09 lakh from ₹3.85 lakh. However, total income was impacted by a significant drop in other income, which fell to ₹44.27 lakh from ₹142.32 lakh in Q4FY26, primarily due to the absence of large provision write-backs recorded in the previous quarter.

Financial Performance Overview

The following table details the key financial metrics for Hybrid Financial Services Limited:

Note: Profit figures are presented as absolute values in lakhs. The percentage change reflects the movement between periods.

Expenses increased to ₹93.21 lakh from ₹76.86 lakh year-on-year. Employee benefit expenses rose to ₹47.17 lakh from ₹36.28 lakh. The company also recorded provisions and write-offs of ₹2.67 lakh, representing unrecoverable debit balances from depository clients outstanding for over three years. This contrasts with the previous fiscal year where a ₹80 lakh provision was made for an unreturned rental deposit.

What the Numbers Show

A key analytical observation is the divergence between operational revenue growth and total income stability. While core brokerage revenue grew by over 10%, total income remained flat due to a sharp decline in non-operating 'other income'. In Q4FY26, other income included ₹102.24 lakh from provision write-backs, a non-recurring item. Excluding this one-off gain, the underlying operational trajectory shows consistent revenue generation, though margin pressure is evident as expenses grew faster than revenue. The absence of tax expense in the current quarter, compared to a negligible tax benefit in FY26, highlights the company’s continued utilization of carried-forward losses and depreciation under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Strategic Developments and Dividends

The financial results reflect the ongoing integration of Maximus Securities Limited, the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The merger, approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on October 16, 2025, is effective from April 1, 2024. Hybrid Financial Services has obtained a Single Registration Certificate from SEBI dated June 17, 2026, to carry out stock broking business. The company is currently completing regulatory requirements for the transfer of stock exchange memberships.

In addition to the financial results, the Board approved a dividend of 1% on preference shares for the financial year 2025-2026. This will absorb ₹0.70 lakh, subject to confirmation by members at the Annual General Meeting. The company’s paid-up equity share capital remains at ₹1,471.81 lakh. Earnings per share stood at ₹0.20 for the quarter, down from ₹0.25 in Q1FY26.

Hybrid Financial Services Limited has announced the book closure period for its Thirty-Ninth Annual General Meeting (AGM), setting specific dates that determine shareholder eligibility for voting and dividend entitlements. The company’s Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed from Monday, September 7, 2026, to Friday, September 11, 2026, both days inclusive. This closure is a standard procedural requirement to establish the list of shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the upcoming meeting.

The intimation was issued pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The notification was submitted to both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Ltd. on July 28, 2026, by K. Chandramouli, the Whole Time Director and Company Secretary of the company. The filing ensures compliance with statutory disclosure norms regarding corporate meetings and share transfer restrictions.

Regulatory Compliance
