What the board approved

• The board met on 5 November 2026 and approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half year ended 30 September 2026.
• It declared a Second Interim Dividend for the financial year 2026-27.
• It noted changes to the contact details of the Key Managerial Personnel authorised to determine materiality of events and make disclosures to the stock exchanges.

Dividend details

• Amount: Rs. 1.25/- per equity share, which is 125% on the par value of Re. 1/- per share.
• Record date: 11 November 2026 — this is the cut-off date for deciding who is entitled to the dividend.
• Payment: on or after 20 November 2026, to registered shareholders, through electronic mode only.
• Tax: dividend income is taxable in the shareholders' hands, so the payout will be made after deducting tax at source (TDS). Shareholders can upload the documents needed to fix the applicable TDS rate on or before 10 November 2026.

Results at a glance (standalone, unaudited)

• Revenue from operations: Rs. 38,794 lakhs for the quarter and Rs. 83,243 lakhs for the half year.
• Profit for the period: Rs. 19,019 lakhs for the quarter and Rs. 23,139 lakhs for the half year.
• Basic and diluted earnings per share: Rs. 6.87 for the quarter.

A point worth reading closely

• The half-year cash flow statement shows dividend income from long-term investments in subsidiaries of Rs. 15,077 lakhs. In the standalone accounts, such intra-group receipts sit inside income, so standalone profit includes money received from group companies rather than only from outside customers.
• A review of the standalone results by the statutory auditors, B S R & Co. LLP, states that nothing came to their attention suggesting the statement contains any material misstatement.

Merger and restatement

• Encore IT Services Solutions Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary, has merged with the company, effective 14 August 2026, with an appointed date of 1 April 2024, following approval by the National Company Law Tribunal.
• The accounting uses the pooling of interests method, so prior period figures in the results have been restated as if the merger had taken place from the beginning of the preceding period.

What this means for retail investors

• The dividend decision fixes a clear record date and payment window; entitlement depends on holding the shares on the record date, and the actual credit is after TDS.
• The results give a quarterly and half-yearly snapshot of revenue and profit. When comparing the profit figure, note that standalone other income includes dividends received from subsidiaries.
• The merger has changed the base year figures, so year-on-year comparisons in these results are against restated numbers.
