The filing was submitted to both the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited on July 30, 2026.

The move aligns with standard regulatory requirements for listed entities in India to disseminate material information equally among all market participants.

Regulatory Compliance

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This regulation mandates timely disclosure of price-sensitive information to stock exchanges to prevent insider trading and ensure fair play in the securities market.

Quess Corp Limited is headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The company continues to maintain regular engagement with its investor base through such digital channels, ensuring that key updates are readily accessible without delay.

Quess Corp Limited reported a year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to ₹819 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by robust growth across its General Staffing and Professional Staffing segments. Revenue from operations rose to ₹41.82 billion compared to ₹36.5 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year, while EBITDA expanded to ₹845 million with an EBITDA margin of 2.02% versus 1.91% in the year-ago period. The performance reflects strong headcount additions and new contract wins, particularly in the GCC (Global Capability Centers) vertical, although the Digital Platforms segment continued to incur losses.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results at a meeting held on July 29, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 34 (Ind AS 34). Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP issued a qualified review conclusion due to unresolved income tax disputes regarding section 80JJAA deductions and pending provident fund litigation, though the company maintains its positions are legally valid.

Financial Performance

The latest figures reflect healthy top-line and bottom-line momentum for Quess Corp in Q1FY27. Profit before tax increased 64.4% to ₹858.83 million, while employee benefits expense, the largest cost component, rose 15.3% to ₹39,591.93 million, reflecting higher headcount which grew 4.5% YoY to 482,000. The key financial metrics are summarised below:

Segment Analysis

General Staffing remained the primary revenue driver, contributing ₹35,964.76 million, a 15.2% increase year-on-year. The segment added 86 new contracts and saw headcount rise to 469,000. Professional Staffing delivered 12% YoY EBITDA growth with margins around 11%, driven by sustained GCC hiring where GCCs accounted for 71% of headcount and 68% of revenue. Overseas Business revenue grew 17.1% to ₹3,328.48 million, with significant contributions from the Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Strategic Shifts

Executive Director & Group CEO Lohit Bhatia highlighted a structural pivot towards skill-based, margin-accretive initiatives under "Quess 2.0." The company launched a new Indo-Japanese corridor for GCCs and skill mobility, targeting Japanese enterprises. Management emphasized strengthening the Construction business and boosting sourcing productivity through AI-led transformation. While volume remains central, the focus is shifting to high-end, specialized offerings in GCCs and skilled migration across five identified segments.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and EBITDA growth indicates successful operational leverage and mix shift towards higher-margin Professional Staffing and Overseas businesses. Despite a 15.3% rise in employee benefits expense, the ability to grow EBITDA at a faster pace suggests effective cost management and pricing power in key segments like GCCs. However, the qualified audit opinion on tax matters introduces a layer of regulatory risk that investors must monitor alongside these operational gains.
