Likhami Consulting Limited reported a standalone net profit of ₹1.48 lakh for the first quarter and three months ended June 30, 2026, marking a 7.2% year-on-year increase from ₹1.38 lakh in the corresponding period of FY25. Revenue from operations rose 8.4% to ₹16.00 lakh, up from ₹14.76 lakh in Q1FY25. The company maintained profitability despite a rise in employee benefits expense, signaling stable operational efficiency in its consultancy services segment.

The Board of Directors approved the standalone unaudited financial results during a meeting held on August 4, 2026, at the company’s registered office in Mumbai. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by the statutory auditors, Mohindra Arora & Co., pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing also confirmed that there are no outstanding defaults on loans or debt securities.

Financial Performance Highlights

The company’s total income from operations stood at ₹16.00 lakh for Q1FY26, excluding other income which was nil for the period. In contrast, total expenses increased to ₹14.52 lakh from ₹13.39 lakh in Q1FY25, driven primarily by higher employee benefits and other expenses. Depreciation and amortisation expense remained stable at ₹0.14 lakh.

Earnings per share (basic and diluted) remained flat at ₹0.01 per share for both Q1FY26 and Q1FY25. The paid-up equity share capital stood at ₹995.00 lakh with a face value of ₹10 per share. Reserves excluding revaluation reserve were reported at ₹2,518.80 lakh as of March 31, 2026.

What the Numbers Show

While revenue growth was modest at 8.4%, the increase in employee benefits expense of 27.5% outpaced top-line growth, indicating potential pressure on operating margins if not managed. However, the company offset this through a 12% reduction in other expenses, allowing it to maintain a positive net profit trajectory. The absence of finance costs and tax provisions in the current quarter suggests a lean balance sheet structure, consistent with its consultancy business model.

Likhami Consulting Limited disclosed that the statement on deviation or variation in the utilisation of proceeds from public issues is not applicable. Similarly, there are no outstanding defaults on loans, revolving facilities, or unlisted debt securities such as NCDs and NCRPS.

Profit before tax stood at ₹31.73 lakh, compared to ₹30.09 lakh in FY25.
