Rays of Belief's first quarterly result as a listed company (NSE/BSE listing September 8, 2026) shows consolidated revenue of ₹25.31 Cr for Q1 FY27, up 136.5% year-on-year from ₹10.71 Cr and roughly flat quarter-on-quarter (+1.2% vs ₹25.01 Cr in Q4 FY26). Consolidated PAT was ₹2.79 Cr against a ₹0.54 Cr loss in the year-ago quarter — a clean YoY turnaround — and up 16.7% sequentially from ₹2.39 Cr. Net margin expanded to 11.0% from -5.0% YoY and 9.6% QoQ. Standalone (India-only) numbers were more modest: revenue grew 27.3% YoY to ₹12.49 Cr but slipped 6.3% QoQ from ₹13.32 Cr, with standalone PAT of ₹1.42 Cr versus a ₹0.56 Cr loss a year ago.
The consolidated growth story is almost entirely the USA segment, which produced ₹12.82 Cr of revenue this quarter (50.7% of the total) versus just ₹0.90 Cr in Q1 FY26 — a near 13x increase — while the India (standalone) business grew a more ordinary 27.3%. This wide gap between consolidated and standalone YoY growth is the US subsidiary scaling on its own, not the City Pro Group acquisition, which only closed September 18-19, 2026, well after this quarter ended. On margins, employee benefit expense (the largest cost line) rose 64.7% YoY to ₹10.84 Cr — slower than the 136% revenue increase — which is the main source of the NPM expansion; other expenses grew closer to revenue, up 158.6%. There is no management guidance or street consensus on record for this print: the company completed its IPO September 1-3, 2026 and listed September 8, 2026, so no prior-quarter guidance exists and a web search turned up no analyst previews or consensus estimates for this quarter.
The board approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated results on September 28, 2026, with limited review by Suri & Sudhir; neither statement carries an exceptional item this quarter. The Q1 FY26 and prior-year comparatives were prepared by management and approved by the board but not subject to audit or review, since the company was unlisted at the time — a caveat on the base used for the YoY comparison. Two corporate actions fall just after this quarter's cutoff and are not reflected in these numbers: a $2 Mn investment in Mom's Belief US Inc (September 17) and that subsidiary's acquisition of City Pro Group Inc, which had ₹97.27 Cr FY25 revenue (September 18-19) — both will show up from Q2 FY27 onward.
With City Pro Group's FY25 revenue base (₹97.27 Cr) nearly four times Rays of Belief's own FY26 consolidated revenue (₹81.66 Cr), its consolidation from Q2 FY27 is set to be the dominant swing factor for the next several quarters, alongside whether the underlying USA segment can sustain its current growth rate without further inorganic step-ups.
