Tata Elxsi Q4 PAT jumps 28% YoY to Rs 220 cr; declares dividend of Rs 75/share
Profit before tax (PBT) stood at Rs 267.77 crore, up 20.92% year-on-year during the quarter.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, net profit jumped 102.36% to Rs 220.35 crore from Rs 108.89 crore, largely due to the absence of exceptional items, while revenue from operations increased 4.22% from Rs 953.47 crore.
Sequential growth was supported by controlled expenses. Total expenses increased moderately to Rs 776.6 crore from Rs 757.6 crore in Q3 FY26. In the previous quarter, the company had recorded an exceptional charge of Rs 95.7 crore related to employee benefit provisions arising from new labour codes, which had significantly impacted profitability. With no such charge in Q4, margins improved, supporting net profit.
EBITDA stood at Rs 244.6 crore in the quarter ended 31 March 2026 (up 17.77% YoY and 10.08% QoQ). EBITDA margin improved to 24.6% in Q4 FY26 from 22.9% in Q4 FY25 and 23.3% in Q3 FY26.
The company's total headcount in Q4 of FY26 stood at 11,540. The attrition rate stood at 15.8% in Q4 FY26 as compared to 13.3% in Q4 FY25.
Manoj Raghavan, CEO and managing director (MD) of Tata Elxsi, said, ?For the fourth quarter of FY '26, Tata Elxsi reported operating revenue of Rs. 993.8 crores and PBT margin at 25.6%. We ended FY '26 with a revenue of Rs. 3,757.4 crores and a PBT margin of 23.4%. The company registered a healthy QoQ growth of 4.2%.
Our Media & Communications business, which accounted for 32.7% of revenue during the quarter, registered a strong growth of 5.6% QoQ in constant currency terms over the previous quarter. This growth was led by continued deal ramp-ups, a strategic deal for AdTech, and a Tier 1 US telco win. In the quarter, we also won a multi-year large deal from a world-leading device OEM for its portfolio of video and broadband products. This strategic deal reinforces Tata Elxsi?s position as a global leader in device engineering for media and telecom.
In our transportation business, while our revenues in Q4 FY26 consolidated after a strong 7.3% constant currency QoQ in Q3 FY26, we are delighted with two strategic wins?one in the APAC region from a new-age OEM and another from the US from a next-generation mobility services company. These multi-year deals underscore the pivot towards SDV and OEM business, with OEM business now representing 77% of overall revenues for our transportation business.
During FY?26, Tata Elxsi accelerated its enterprise-wide GenAI adoption, marked by the launch of DevStudio.ai and partnerships with leading AI companies, to embed AI responsibly across engineering, design, and delivery. With strong governance around data security, IP protection, and compliance, these initiatives are scaling beyond pilots to deliver measurable productivity gains, faster time-to-market, and improved customer outcomes. By combining domain-led AI, talent enablement, and platform-based accelerators, Tata Elxsi is strengthening its innovation quotient, long-term competitiveness, depth of client engagements, and margin expansion.
I am pleased with our sustained and strong operational performance through segment-leading offshore delivery, a continued transition to fixed-bid project ownership, and the systematic and enterprise-wide adoption of AI-enabled efficiencies. These levers strengthened execution discipline and productivity, driving consistent margin improvement through the year.
We closed the financial year with a consistent performance, reflecting improved execution, disciplined cost management, and continued confidence from our global customers. Growth traction across our core verticals, supported by increasing large deal wins, strong customer additions, and sustained investments in AI-led platforms and digital engineering, positions us well for the year and beyond. As we enter the next financial year, we remain focused on scaling our differentiated design-led and AI-enabled offerings, strengthening operational leverage, and driving sustainable growth and healthy margins.?
