Comprehensive Section Breakdown for Persistent Systems
Persistent Systems reported revenue from operations of ₹4,303.23 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2026, up 6.1% from the previous quarter and 29.1% from the same quarter last year. Profit before tax, however, fell 7.5% sequentially to ₹623.10 crore, as higher expenses, including a sharp rise in finance costs, outweighed the revenue increase. The effective tax rate remained stable, and earnings per share declined in line with profit. Other comprehensive income swung to a large gain, significantly boosting comprehensive income.
Revenue from operations has grown consistently over the past five quarters, from ₹3,333.59 crore in Q1 FY2025-26 to ₹4,303.23 crore in the current quarter. The sequential growth of 6.1% and year-over-year growth of 29.1% indicate continued expansion.
Profit before tax (PBT) declined to ₹623.10 crore from ₹673.98 crore in the prior quarter, a decrease of 7.5%. The decline occurred alongside increases in several expense items.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was 22.5%, within the range of 21.5% to 23.6% observed over the past five quarters, indicating no unusual tax items.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations decreased to ₹30.88 from ₹33.83 in the prior quarter, a decline of 8.7%, consistent with the decline in net profit. Diluted EPS was ₹30.51, slightly lower than basic EPS, indicating minimal dilution. Compared to the same quarter last year, basic EPS increased 12.6% from ₹27.43.
Other comprehensive income (OCI) swung from a loss of ₹24.82 crore in Q4 to a gain of ₹103.15 crore in the current quarter. This is the largest positive OCI in the five-quarter period, which previously ranged from -₹24.82 crore to ₹23.31 crore. As a result, total comprehensive income for the quarter rose to ₹586.20 crore, up from ₹504.44 crore in the prior quarter, despite the decline in profit before tax.
The quarter was marked by continued revenue growth but a sequential decline in profit before tax. Higher expenses, including a sharp increase in finance costs and a rise in other unallocable expenditure, contributed to the profit decline. Employee expenses remained the dominant cost. The effective tax rate was stable. Other comprehensive income added a substantial gain, lifting comprehensive income above the prior quarter's level.
