Management Commentary and Outlook
During the earnings conference call, management stated that the overall consolidated PAT dropped largely on account of losses incurred in the fintech subsidiary, Radiant Acemoney. The PIDF subsidy ended in December 2025, and the subsidiary is working towards improving transaction revenues. The management expects the fintech subsidiary to turn EBITDA positive in the first half of the current financial year. Radiant Valuables Logistics, which reported losses of ₹60 million in FY26, is also expected to achieve breakeven in the first half of the current financial year following the addition of marquee national jewellery chains and route optimization.
The company is focusing on adding direct clients, which now constitute 18% of revenue, and increasing trust on dedicated cash vans. Management targets reaching 30% direct revenue within two years. The company holds approximately ₹100 crore of cash on its books, with free cash of about ₹60 crore as of March 2026. The management is exploring a share buyback as an option and is in discussions with shareholders and consultants.
