Creative Newtech Limited has announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2027 (Q1 FY27). The company, formerly known as Creative Peripherals & Distribution Ltd., presented its performance for the period. The presentation highlighted the company's role as a market entry specialist for technology and lifestyle brands, emphasizing its end-to-end value creation capabilities and a diversified house of brands. The company also noted its extensive pan-India reach and over three decades of expertise in the industry.

Creative Newtech Limited announced its unaudited standalone financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27). The company reported a total income of ₹448.29 crore and EBITDA of ₹20.00 crore for the quarter. Key developments during the period include securing a ₹35.89 crore order from the Food Corporation of India and an Advance Work Order from BSNL for a project valued at approximately ₹3,194.83 crore. The company also launched a new consumer technology brand, WOZOYO, and made strategic acquisitions to enhance its capabilities.

Creative Newtech Ltd has announced that its Board of Directors has fixed September 23, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholders' entitlement to the final dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming 22nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for September 30, 2026. The AGM will be conducted via video conferencing. The proposed final dividend is ₹0.50 per share. Remote e-voting will be available from September 27 to September 29, 2026.

Creative Newtech Ltd's Board of Directors has approved the 'CREATIVE Employee Stock Option Scheme – 2026' (ESOP Scheme). The scheme allows for the grant of up to 2,00,000 Employee Stock Options (ESOPs) to eligible employees in India and abroad. This approval is subject to shareholder ratification at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will administer the scheme, which will be implemented through the direct route. The exercise price will be determined by the committee at the time of grant, linked to the market price, with a potential discount but not below the face value of ₹10 per share. Mr. Tejas Doshi, Chief Compliance Officer, is authorized to manage the implementation process.

Creative Newtech's consolidated Q1FY27 (quarter ended June 30, 2026) revenue rose 21.15% YoY to ₹476.07 Cr from ₹392.96 Cr, while PAT grew a faster 32.94% YoY to ₹13.54 Cr (₹12.37 Cr to parent shareholders, ₹1.17 Cr to non-controlling interests) — profit outpacing revenue on genuine margin gains rather than a one-off, since neither period carries exceptional items. Sequentially revenue fell 35.67% and PAT fell 23.89% from Q4FY26's ₹740.01 Cr/₹17.79 Cr, but Q4 (Jan-Mar) is this distribution business's seasonally strongest billing quarter, so the QoQ drop reads as normal seasonality rather than a demand slowdown — the YoY comparison is the one that matters here. Standalone (parent-only) numbers were stronger still: revenue ₹447.51 Cr (+26.88% YoY) and PAT ₹9.01 Cr (+69.63% YoY), a bigger jump than consolidated PAT growth, pointing to softer performance at the Hong Kong subsidiaries/associate level within the consolidated entity. Consolidated EBITDA margin expanded to roughly 5.2% of revenue from about 3.8% a year ago and about 3.9% last quarter, with NPM improving to 2.84% from 2.56% YoY and 2.40% QoQ — margin expansion is broad-based, not a base effect. The higher-margin Brand Business segment grew consolidated revenue to ₹76.58 Cr (+18.3% YoY) with segment margin improving to roughly 38.0% from roughly 34.7% a year ago, but that growth rate trails badly against management's own May 2026 guidance of 50-60% annual brand-business growth and its target to lift brand EBITDA margin from 13% toward 18-19% as it scales; overall consolidated revenue growth of 21.15% also came in under the guided 25-30% band, even as absolute profit growth of 32.94% cleared that range — a guidance picture that is mixed rather than clean. No broker previews or consensus estimates for this print could be located (small/mid-cap name with no visible research coverage), so the street comparison is unknown. The same disclosure also flagged two order wins not yet reflected in these numbers: an Advance Work Order from BSNL for the BharatNet Middle Mile Network Project in the Odisha circle worth approximately ₹3,194.83 Cr, and a ₹35.89 Cr Smart Warehousing order from the Food Corporation of India across 150 depots — both dwarf the company's current quarterly run-rate and will only matter once they convert to billed revenue. The board also approved a fresh ESOP pool of up to 2,00,000 options (about 1.5% of paid-up capital, pending AGM approval) and fixed September 23, 2026 as the record date for the FY26 final dividend, ahead of the AGM on September 30, 2026. This follows the July 13, 2026 board approval to acquire Infinova (India) for up to $4 million, consistent with management's stated intent to build out its surveillance/AI capability — none of these three items are in the P&L yet. Going into Q2FY27, underlying profitability is genuinely improving (margin expansion, profit outgrowing revenue), even as the flagship brand-scaling growth story behind the FY27 guidance runs behind plan, while the BSNL/FCI wins and the Infinova deal represent the next leg to track.
