Sandesh reported a standalone net profit of ₹9.98 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY26), marking a 71% year-on-year increase from ₹5.83 crore in the corresponding period of FY25. The growth was primarily driven by a significant expansion in its Trading in Commodities segment, which contributed ₹39.41 crore to segment revenue compared to just ₹3.88 crore in Q1FY25. On August 05, 2026, the Board of Directors approved these unaudited financial results alongside a strategic Scheme of Amalgamation to merge its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sandesh Digital Private Limited, into the parent company. This consolidation aims to eliminate operational duplication, reduce overheads, and enhance resource utilization without issuing new shares or altering the existing shareholding pattern.

The Board also fixed Friday, August 14, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for the final dividend of ₹5.00 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26. This dividend payment is subject to approval by shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM). Additionally, the Board approved the continuation of Smt. Pannaben F. Patel as a Non-Executive Director beyond the age of 75 years, pending shareholder approval via a special resolution. She has served on the Board since October 29, 2010.

Financial Performance

Standalone revenue from operations stood at ₹45.78 crore for Q1FY26, up from ₹34.41 crore in Q1FY25. Other income contributed ₹9.21 crore, bringing total income to ₹54.99 crore. Total expenses were ₹38.83 crore, resulting in a profit before tax of ₹16.16 crore. After tax expenses of ₹6.21 crore, the standalone profit after tax reached ₹9.98 crore.

Consolidated figures showed similar trends, with consolidated net profit attributable to owners rising 28% year-on-year to ₹9.95 crore. Consolidated revenue increased 33% to ₹55.12 crore. Statutory Auditors Manubhai & Shah LLP issued an unqualified limited review report on both standalone and consolidated financial statements.

Segment Analysis

The Media segment remained the core revenue driver but saw a slight decline in segment revenue to ₹6.55 crore from ₹7.39 crore in Q1FY25. However, the segment result improved significantly to ₹14.30 crore from ₹17.91 crore in the prior year period, reflecting strong operational efficiency. The Trading in Commodities segment emerged as a major growth engine, contributing ₹39.41 crore to segment revenue, up sharply from ₹3.88 crore in Q1FY25, with a segment result of ₹56.88 crore.

Strategic Developments

The Board approved the Scheme of Amalgamation under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013, providing for the merger of Sandesh Digital Private Limited with The Sandesh Limited. As the transferor company is a wholly-owned subsidiary, no share exchange ratio applies, and no new shares will be issued. The appointed date for the amalgamation is April 01, 2026. This move is expected to reduce overheads, eliminate duplication of functions, and enhance the company's ability to deploy funds for organic and inorganic growth opportunities. The scheme requires approvals from shareholders, creditors, and the National Company Law Tribunal.
