Operational Updates & Regulatory Compliance
SIS Limited formally launched its Labour Code Implementation Project on April 1, 2026, migrating approximately 15,000 existing contracts to compliant rate structures. The company deployed a new invoicing system ensuring every invoice includes an auto-generated Labour Code compliance docket. Management indicated that these changes are expected to create a level playing field, boost manpower retention, and support margin accretion.
Cash flow from operations stood at ₹87.7 crore, resulting in an OCF/EBITDA ratio of 42.3%, down from 203.3% in Q4 FY26 due to working capital pressures. DSOs improved slightly to 66 days group-wide but remain impacted by ongoing customer discussions regarding rate revisions linked to Labour Codes compliance. S S Kothari Mehta & Co. LLP served as the independent auditor for the limited review of the unaudited financial results.

Given the 29.7% revenue growth, what specific strategic initiatives is the company pursuing to sustain this momentum in the Security Solutions India segment beyond current wins in Education and BFSI?
Will the ₹106 crore share buyback program significantly alter the company's net debt profile, or will it be funded primarily through existing cash reserves without affecting operational liquidity?
