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. Revenue from operations expanded by 10.6% to ₹1,522.62 lakh, reflecting sustained demand in its advertising business segment. The results were approved by the Board of Directors on August 03, 2026, alongside the appointment of a new independent director.
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.
