The Pune-based company, India's first listed robotics company, reported operations spanning fixed robots and autonomous mobility through its Humro brand. Figures below convert amounts in Rs from lakhs to million (mn) on first mention and use mn thereafter.

On a standalone basis net revenue from operations for FY26 was Rs 1,090.47 million (mn) while total revenue was Rs 1,109.34 mn. Total expenses reduced to Rs 949.08 mn, supporting an EBITDA of Rs 160.26 mn, up 11 per cent year on year, and a profit after tax of Rs 69.59 mn, up 16 per cent. Finance costs were contained at Rs 42.73 mn and depreciation amounted to Rs 21.01 mn.

Consolidated net revenue for FY26 stood at Rs 1,176.70 mn and total revenue at Rs 1,209.59 mn, aided by other income of Rs 32.89 mn that included an Rs 15.00 mn GST appellate write-back and Rs 13.00 mn interest on an ODI loan. Improved cost control brought total consolidated expenses to Rs 1,037.96 mn and delivered an EBITDA of Rs 171.63 mn, reversing the prior year loss and resulting in a profit after tax of Rs 69.71 mn. The group reported an EBITDA margin of about 14.2 per cent.

The company stated that its Humro autonomous robotics arm has secured early international deployments and that the group approved a strategic investment of Rs 480.00 mn to scale the platform. Management indicated that discussions are advanced on a United States partnership that is expected to enable local inventory stocking and shorten delivery lead times from about four months to approximately 15 days, improving serviceability for large customers. These developments were described as important enablers for large scale rollouts.

Overall the board highlighted restructuring, tighter cost control and improved execution as drivers of the turnaround and said balance sheet deleveraging remains a priority. The company noted that forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual outcomes may vary.
