Signpost India Limited reported a 22.2% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit after tax (PAT) to ₹186.56 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by robust revenue growth and a significant reduction in depreciation expenses due to an accounting policy change. Revenue from operations expanded by 10.6% to ₹1,522.62 lakh, reflecting sustained demand in its advertising business segment. EBITDA for the quarter stood at 343M Rupees compared to 318M Rupees in the same period last year, while EBITDA margin came in at 22.55% versus 23.07% year-on-year. The company's Board of Directors approved these unaudited financial results on August 03, 2026, alongside the appointment of a new independent director and the scheduling of its upcoming Annual General Meeting.

The financial performance was notably influenced by the company's decision to switch its depreciation method for Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) from Written Down Value (WDV) to Straight-Line Method (SLM) effective April 01, 2026. This change, treated as a revision in accounting estimate under Ind AS 8, reduced depreciation charges by ₹598.24 lakh for the quarter. Statutory Auditors M/s. Sarda Soni Associates LLP issued a limited review report on the results, confirming compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations and Indian Accounting Standards.
