Key Financial Metrics
The following table summarises the key consolidated financial metrics for Q1FY27, including sequential comparisons:
| Metric | Q1FY27 | QoQ (Prev. Quarter) |
|---|---|---|
| Net Profit | 293M Rupees | 359M Rupees |

The EBIT margin also edged up to 16.90% from 16.79% sequentially, indicating steady operational efficiency despite the year-on-year pressure on net profit driven by higher tax expenses.
Segment Performance
The Emerging Vertical segment continued to be the largest revenue contributor, generating ₹111.78 crore, though this represented a 5.3% decline from ₹118.04 crore in Q1FY26. The BFS segment saw revenue drop 5.0% to ₹73.48 crore from ₹77.37 crore. Conversely, the Logistics segment grew 16.9% to ₹39.83 crore from ₹34.08 crore, and Commerce revenue rose 20.1% to ₹23.54 crore from ₹19.59 crore.
| Segment | Revenue (₹ Cr) | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| Emerging Vertical | 111.78 | -5.3% |
| BFS | 73.48 | -5.0% |
| Logistics | 39.83 | +16.9% |
| Commerce | 23.54 | +20.1% |
Segment results followed a similar pattern, with Emerging Verticals reporting ₹24.01 crore, BFS at ₹10.40 crore, Logistics at ₹8.59 crore, and Commerce at ₹24.02 lakh. Total segment results were ₹45.40 crore, marginally up from ₹45.83 crore in Q1FY26.
Standalone Results
On a standalone basis, Saksoft reported a net profit of ₹25.26 lakh, a significant 34.1% increase from ₹18.83 lakh in Q1FY26. Standalone revenue from operations was ₹121.58 crore, down 3.1% from ₹125.47 crore in the prior year. Total standalone income was ₹134.50 crore, with other income contributing ₹12.91 crore, a substantial rise from ₹19.99 lakh in Q1FY26. Expenses were controlled at ₹101.74 crore, leading to a profit before tax of ₹32.75 crore, up from ₹24.56 crore.
What the Numbers Show
The divergence between consolidated and standalone performance highlights the impact of subsidiary operations and inter-company eliminations. While consolidated revenue remained flat year-on-year, the sequential improvement in EBIT and EBIT margin, alongside growth in Logistics and Commerce segments, suggests improving operational momentum. The rise in tax expense as a percentage of profit before tax—from 24.8% in Q1FY26 to 31.2% in Q1FY27—warrants attention, potentially indicating changes in deferred tax positions or jurisdictional mix. The company continues to monitor developments regarding the New Labour Codes, which resulted in a one-time provision increase in FY26. A proposed merger with wholly-owned subsidiary Augmento Labs Private Limited, with an appointed date of April 1, 2026, has no impact on the current financial results. The Board also noted that previous quarter and year figures have been restated to align with current classification standards.
