Earnings Call Transcript and Management Commentary

The company released the earnings call transcript held on January 30, 2026, providing detailed insights into the quarter's performance. Group Managing Director Rituraj Sinha emphasized the milestone achievement, stating: "Q3 FY26 has been a milestone quarter with quarterly revenue crossing INR 4,000 cr. for the first time and the highest ever Operating EBITDA of INR 196 cr. With robust 9 months performance, SIS is well positioned for a REBOUND in FY26."

During the earnings call, management addressed the one-time exceptional charge of ₹290 crores related to labour law changes, explaining their conservative approach to provisioning. The company expects to recover these costs from clients as the new labour codes are implemented, with potential positive impact on future financial results.

Labour Code Impact and Recovery Strategy

Management provided clarity on the ₹290 crore exceptional charge, explaining it relates to prior-period gratuity and leave liabilities under new labour code definitions. The company adopted a conservative approach by taking the full provision upfront, with plans to recover incremental costs from customers as labour codes are implemented. As Rituraj Sinha noted: "Whatever we claim, if we claim 99%, it will come back into our P&L over the course of the year."

Shareholder Returns and Future Outlook

The company announced a shift in its shareholder return strategy, introducing dividend payments alongside its traditional buyback approach. The ₹7 interim dividend represents a new approach to reward shareholders, with management indicating plans for continued cash returns through both dividends and potential buybacks based on market feedback.
