Touchwood Entertainment Limited reported a 21.2% decline in net profit to ₹424.56 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to ₹538.74 crore in the previous year, primarily due to a significant bad debt write-off. Revenue from operations for FY26 rose 8.3% to ₹7,458 crore from ₹6,885.42 crore in FY25. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company recorded a net profit of ₹70.31 crore, a decrease from ₹139.98 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, while revenue stood at ₹2,794.41 crore.
The board of directors, in its meeting held on May 25, 2026, approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results. The company did not recommend any dividend for the financial year. The independent auditor, VSD & Associates, issued an unmodified opinion on the financial results but drew attention to two emphasis of matter paragraphs.
The auditors highlighted that the Income Tax department conducted a search and seizure operation at the company's corporate office from January 28, 2026, to January 31, 2026. The company cooperated with the authorities and is yet to receive any order regarding liability or tax demand, as the matter remains under investigation. During the search, officials seized ₹21 lakh in cash, which was recorded in the books of accounts.
Furthermore, the auditors noted that the company wrote off a balance under sundry debtors amounting to ₹99.20 crore during the year, which was outstanding for more than five years. This write-off significantly affected the profit for the quarter ended March 2026 and the financial year as a whole. The company operated solely in the event management services segment during the quarter and financial year under review, with no business activity in trading or construction services.
The board also re-appointed M/s. AAVN & Associates as the Internal Auditors and M/s. Agarwal Sudesh & Associates as the Tax Auditors for the financial year 2026-2027. Additionally, the board decided to rescind the proposed acquisition of 51% equity shares of Vanam Wellness & Celebration Private Limited due to commercial considerations and strategic business assessment.
