Management Comments
Mr. Deepak Jalan
Managing Director, Linc Limited
The first quarter of FY26 has been a modest one, with Total Income growing 5.1% year-on-year, while net profit declined 16.4%. Although bottom-line performance fell short of our expectations, this was largely due to a combination of operational factors and transitional costs. We view this as an isolated quarter, rather than a reflection of our underlined trajectory. Over the past few quarters, while revenue growth has been moderate, we’ve managed to maintain steady profitability—underscoring the resilience of our business model. We believe the current quarter’s deviation is temporary, and the coming quarters should offer improved visibility and performance.
