Naapbooks Ltd has closed its trading window effective October 1, 2026. The restriction applies until 48 hours after the company declares its un-audited financial results for the half-year ended September 30, 2026.

This action is taken pursuant to SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, and the company's internal code of conduct. The closure ensures that no insider trading occurs during the sensitive period preceding the release of financial performance data.

Restrictions on designated persons

During the closed window, all insiders and designated persons are prohibited from dealing in the equity shares of the company. This group includes:

• Promoters and promoter group members
• Directors
• Key managerial personnel
• Immediate relatives of the aforementioned individuals

The trading window will reopen exactly 48 hours after the financial results become generally available to the public. This standard protocol aims to prevent information asymmetry in the market.

Upcoming board meeting

Naapbooks stated that the specific date for the board meeting to approve the half-year results will be intimated in due course. Investors should monitor official exchanges for this announcement to determine when normal trading activity for insiders may resume.

Naapbooks reported a standalone net profit of ₹8.30 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 85% from ₹4.48 crore in the previous year.

The Ahmedabad-based IT services and SaaS company delivered robust top-line growth, with revenue from operations rising 44% to ₹17.55 crore. This performance underscores the scalability of its product-led model, which includes visitor management solutions and compliance technology platforms.

Financial Performance

Revenue growth was accompanied by significant margin expansion. The net profit ratio improved to 47.30% from 36.78% in FY25. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) stood at ₹11.86 crore, reflecting a strong operating margin of 63.87% compared to 53.28% in the prior year.

Basic and diluted earnings per share rose to ₹7.66 from ₹4.70. The Board did not recommend any dividend for the year, opting to retain earnings to fund future growth initiatives.

What the Numbers Show

Development expenses accounted for ₹3.60 crore, representing roughly 21% of total revenue. This heavy investment in intangible assets under development—totaling ₹25.08 crore on the balance sheet—signals a strategic shift toward capitalizing product creation costs rather than expensing them immediately. This approach supports long-term asset accumulation but requires monitoring of future amortization schedules.

Strategic Developments

The company advanced its GovTech initiatives by submitting a Detailed Project Report and delivering a live demonstration of its e-Notary Platform to the Government of Gujarat. Internationally, it commenced early deployments of its VizMan visitor management system in Ghana and Nigeria.

Naapbooks also launched FlowShift, an enterprise data-validation suite, during the year. The balance sheet remains debt-light, with a debt-equity ratio of just 0.03. Shareholders' funds strengthened to ₹44.69 crore as at March 31, 2026.
