Q2 FY27 EBIDTA: Rs. 26.16 crore (up 77.99%)
Q2 FY27 PAT: Rs. 12.65 crore (up 78.43%)

Creative Newtech has announced its audited standalone financial results for the quarter and half year ended 30 September 2026, accompanied by a media release that sets out the numbers and a management comment.

Standalone quarter (Q2 FY27)

Total Income of Rs. 664.55 crore, up 7.68% from Rs. 617.13 crore in Q2 FY26.
EBIDTA (including other income) of Rs. 26.16 crore, up 77.99% from Rs. 14.70 crore.
EBITDA margin of 3.94% against 2.38% a year earlier, a rise of 156 bps.
PAT of Rs. 12.65 crore, up 78.43% from Rs. 7.09 crore; PAT margin 1.90% against 1.15%, up 75 bps.

Standalone half year (H1 FY27)

Total Income of Rs. 1,112.83 crore, up 14.25% from Rs. 974.07 crore.
EBITDA of Rs. 46.17 crore, up 85.50% from Rs. 24.89 crore; margin 4.15% against 2.56%, up 159 bps.
PAT of Rs. 21.66 crore, up 74.66% from Rs. 12.40 crore; PAT margin 1.95% against 1.27%, up 68 bps.

What stands out

Income grew at a much slower pace than profit. In Q2 FY27 total income rose 7.68% while PAT rose 78.43%, and both EBITDA and PAT margins widened. In simple terms, a bigger share of each rupee of sales came through as operating and net profit than a year earlier. The absolute margins remain thin (standalone EBITDA margin of 3.94%), which is typical of a distribution-led business, so small shifts in margin move profit by a large percentage.

Consolidated figures quoted by management

The Chairman & Managing Director's comment refers to consolidated numbers: Q2 FY27 total income of ₹754.80 crore, up 14.43% from ₹659.59 crore; EBITDA of ₹40.11 crore, up 50.70%; EBITDA margin of 5.31% against 4.04%; and PAT of ₹25.94 crore, up 36.88%. For H1 FY27, consolidated total income was ₹1,231.65 crore, up 16.55%, with EBITDA of ₹65.01 crore (up 55.78%) at a margin of 5.28%, and PAT of ₹39.47 crore (up 35.49%).

Cash and working capital

Cash flow from operating activities for H1 FY27 was ₹351.24 crore, compared with an outflow of ₹91.65 crore in H1 FY26 and ₹271.88 crore in FY26.
Net working capital days stood at 45 as of 30 September 2026.

Management said tight control over receivables, inventory and payables remains central to funding growth and moderating finance costs.

Strategic developments mentioned

Proposed acquisition of Infinova (India) Private Limited, aimed at building a Make in India surveillance technology platform.
Strategic partnership with Drona Aviation to broaden access to drone-based STEM learning.
Partnership with Jupiter Electric Mobility to strengthen the drone technology portfolio.

How to read this

The release gives a set of audited standalone numbers, a management view that profit growth outpaced sales growth, and a sharp swing in operating cash flow. It also lists three strategic steps. Whether these translate into sustained earnings depends on execution, which the update does not quantify.
