Profit Decline Masks Revenue Growth
Redington Ltd's consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, fell sharply by 41.3% to ₹391 crore, a notable contrast to the same period last year. This decline occurred even as consolidated revenue posted a significant 25.6% year-on-year increase, reaching ₹33,213 crore. The company attributed the revenue growth to sustained momentum across its solutions-led businesses and technology portfolios.
India Leads Segmental Performance
The domestic market showed particular strength, with Indian operations reporting a 50% rise in revenue and a 41% jump in net profit. This growth was bolstered by demand in the personal computer segment, substantial enterprise deals, a trend towards premiumization in mobility, and ongoing cloud and cybersecurity offerings. Middle East and Africa markets also contributed positively, maintaining growth momentum despite geopolitical challenges.
Business Segment Expansion
Key business segments demonstrated healthy expansion. The Software Solutions Group (SSG) grew by 31%, driven by increased adoption of cloud, cybersecurity, and AI-driven solutions, contributing 17% to the full-year revenue. The End Point Solutions Group (ESG) saw 28% year-on-year growth, fueled by demand for commercial and AI-enabled PCs. Mobility Solutions Group (MSG) expanded 19%, led by premium smartphone demand, while Technology Solutions Group (TSG) reported a 34% increase from large enterprise deals and infrastructure demand.
Dividend Payout Proposed
In a move to reward shareholders, Redington recommended a final dividend of ₹6 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26, representing a 300% payout. This proposal is contingent upon approval from shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The company has set July 3, 2026, as the record date for dividend eligibility.
