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 decline from ₹73.71 lakh in Q1FY26. The Mumbai-based financial services firm saw revenue from operations rise 10.3% to ₹107.16 lakh, supported by growth in brokerage and commission income. However, the bottom line was pressured by a 21.3% surge in total expenses to ₹93.21 lakh and a significant drop in other income. Despite the drop in net profit, total comprehensive income stood at ₹733.74 lakh, driven by significant gains in other comprehensive income (OCI).
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 results were filed with stock exchanges under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. K. Chandramouli, Whole Time Director & Company Secretary, signed off on the disclosure.

Note: Profit figures are presented as absolute values in lakhs. The percentage change reflects the movement between periods.
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 remained relatively flat due to a significant drop in other income, which fell to ₹44.27 lakh from ₹142.32 lakh in Q4FY26. This decline was primarily due to the absence of large provision write-backs recorded in the previous quarter, specifically ₹102.24 lakh from provision reversals.
What the Numbers Show
A key analytical observation is the divergence between operational revenue growth and net profit contraction. While core brokerage revenue grew by over 10%, net profit declined by 21% because expenses grew faster than revenue. Employee benefit expenses rose to ₹47.17 lakh from ₹36.28 lakh. Additionally, the company recorded provisions and write-offs of ₹2.67 lakh for unrecoverable debit balances from depository clients outstanding for over three years.
Despite the lower net profit, the company’s total comprehensive income remained robust at ₹733.74 lakh, largely due to ₹675.52 lakh in remeasurement gains on non-current investments within OCI. This highlights that while core profitability faced margin pressure, investment valuations provided a substantial buffer to overall equity value. Earnings per share stood at ₹0.20 for the quarter, down from ₹0.25 in Q1FY26.
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.
