ICRA Limited announced its audited financial results for the fourth quarter and the full financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a consolidated revenue from operations of ₹174.9 crore for Q4 FY2026, marking a significant increase of 28.4% from ₹136.2 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. For the full fiscal year 2026, consolidated revenue from operations grew by 20.4% to ₹599.5 crore, up from ₹498.0 crore in FY2025. The profit before tax (PBT) for Q4 FY2026 stood at ₹72.8 crore, while for the full year, it increased by 10.0% to ₹257.4 crore from ₹234.0 crore in the previous year. These results include the impact of the acquisition of Fintellix India Private Limited. The company recognized a one-time exceptional charge related to the implementation of new Labour Codes, which is excluded from the reported PBT for better comparability.
The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹105 per equity share for FY2026, which includes a special dividend of ₹35 per equity share to commemorate the company's 35th anniversary. This is an increase from the ₹60 per equity share dividend declared in the previous year. The total dividend payout for the year amounts to ₹101.3 crore. This proposed dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Mr. Ramnath Krishnan, MD & Group CEO, ICRA Limited, commented on the results, highlighting a strong quarterly performance driven by steady momentum in Ratings and robust growth in Research & Analytics. He emphasized that the Fintellix acquisition has enhanced their risk analytics and regulatory solution capabilities. The company remains focused on disciplined execution and investments in analytics and technology for long-term value creation.
ICRA's Ratings & ancillary services revenue increased by 10.5% for the quarter and 14.2% for FY2026, benefiting from credit growth and increased securitization activity. The Research & Analytics segment showed strong growth, up by 56.8% for the quarter and 29.8% for FY2026, largely driven by the Fintellix acquisition and sustained demand for data-driven solutions. The company also highlighted India's macroeconomic outlook, projecting GDP growth to moderate to 6.2% in FY2027 from an expected 7.5% in FY2026.
