Commenting on the results, Mr. Deepak Jalan, Managing Director, Linc Limited said:
The third quarter of FY26 reflected a mixed operating environment, marked by modest topline growth and
continued margin pressures. Total income stood at ₹13,151 lacs, registering a year-on-year growth of 6.4%.
EBITDA for Q3 FY26 stood at ₹1,512 lacs, with an EBITDA margin of 11.5%. The quarter’s operating performance was
impacted by a one-time increase in employee benefit expenses arising from recent changes in labour regulations. Excluding this non-recurring impact, the EBITDA margin would have been 12.2%.
Profit after tax for Q3 FY26 stood at ₹677 lacs, with a margin of 5.2%. The contraction of around 191 bps was on account of lower EBITDA margin and losses from joint ventures amounting to ₹83 lacs. These joint ventures remain in the investment phase, with losses moderating during the quarter as initial scale-up and market development costs begin to stabilise. We continue to view these investments as strategic, with long-term value creation potential once operations stabilise and volumes scale up.
On the strategic front, our international initiatives and joint ventures are progressing steadily:
