Mahindra Logistics reported a consolidated net profit of ₹25.39 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reversing the loss of ₹10.80 crore recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year. This turnaround was driven by a 23% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations, which reached ₹2,002.88 crore, coupled with operational efficiencies that expanded margins. The Board of Directors approved the unaudited consolidated and standalone financial results on July 20, 2026.

Financial Performance Q1FY27

The company’s Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at ₹25.39 crore, attributable to shareholders, compared to a loss of ₹10.80 crore in Q1FY26. Total income rose to ₹2,012.71 crore from ₹1,629.66 crore in the previous year. Earnings per share (EPS) improved to ₹2.56 from a loss of ₹1.44 in the same period last year. Management highlighted that the PAT includes ₹4 crore of interest on income tax refund, which is not expected to be recurring. Excluding this item, operating PAT was approximately ₹21.4 crore.

Segment Results

Performance was led by the Supply Chain Management segment, which reported a profit of ₹37.33 crore, a significant recovery from a loss of ₹10.38 crore in the prior year quarter. Revenue for this segment grew to ₹1,891.92 crore. The Enterprise Mobility Services segment reported a profit of ₹1.78 crore on revenue of ₹115.45 crore.

Strategic Outlook and Operational Updates

During the earnings conference call held on July 21, 2026, Managing Director & CEO Hemant Sikka and CFO Isha Dalal outlined four strategic pillars driving profitable growth: scaling 3PL core business, turning around B2B Express, embedding operational excellence, and leveraging technology through the LogiOne digital ecosystem.

In the Express business (Rivigo), revenue grew by 58% year-on-year to ₹152 crore, with gross margins improving from negative ₹3.6 crore to positive ₹9.2 crore. The company aims to achieve EBITDA breakeven in this segment within the current financial year. Contract Logistics revenue rose 26% to ₹1,623 crore, driven by strong momentum in Mahindra & Mahindra’s auto and farm businesses, as well as wins in e-commerce and manufacturing verticals. However, gross margins diluted by 46 basis points due to manpower shortages, site ramp-up costs, and minimum wage revisions.

The Last Mile Delivery business saw a conscious strategic reduction in revenue by 16% year-on-year to prioritize profitability, resulting in a gross margin expansion from 5% to 9%. Freight Forwarding revenue declined 39% to ₹45 crore due to customer attrition and geopolitical disruptions, though it maintained a healthy 10% gross margin. Mobility revenue increased 38% to ₹111 crore, largely driven by B2B client expansion.

Governance and Audit

The Board appointed Mr. Vimal Agarwal as the Internal Auditor of the company effective July 20, 2026, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee. The statutory auditor, Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP, performed a limited review of the unaudited financial results. The meeting commenced at 12:11 p.m. and concluded at 1:09 p.m. on July 20, 2026.

What the Numbers Show

The shift from a net loss to a ₹25.39 crore profit underscores the effectiveness of Mahindra Logistics' transformation strategy. While top-line growth was broad-based, the most significant operational improvement occurred in the Express segment, which moved from negative to positive gross margins. Conversely, the Contract Logistics segment, despite robust revenue growth, faced margin pressure from temporary headwinds such as new site ramp-ups and labor costs. The company’s focus on reducing white space by 95% by September 2026 and achieving EBITDA breakeven in Express logistics signals a continued emphasis on asset utilization and disciplined execution over pure volume scaling.
