S Chand and Company Limited on Friday reported full-year revenue of ₹7,987 million for FY26, up 11 per cent year-on-year and broadly in line with its guidance of ₹8,000 million. Profit after tax rose 21 per cent to ₹731 million, while EBITDA came in at ₹1,449 million, with margins at 18.1 per cent — within the company’s guided range of 18–20 per cent. The board announced an interim dividend of ₹4 per share.
The fourth quarter was notably strong, with revenue growing 16 per cent year-on-year to ₹5,478 million, EBITDA rising 21 per cent to ₹2,458 million, and PAT up 20 per cent to ₹1,695 million compared to Q4 FY25.
In January 2026, S Chand completed its first international acquisition, buying 100 per cent of CPD Singapore Education Services Pte. Limited. The Singapore-based firm publishes supplementary books aligned with the Singapore, IGCSE, and IB curricula for the K–12 segment, extending S Chand’s product portfolio into international curriculum markets.
The company’s content licensing business grew over 60 per cent, clocking revenues of ₹318 million against ₹195 million in FY25. Management has set a target of ₹400 million in licensing revenues for FY27.
S Chand ended the year net debt-free, with a net cash balance of ₹1,048 million, marginally up from ₹1,036 million a year earlier. Operating cash flows stood at ₹747 million for the year.
Looking ahead, Managing Director Himanshu Gupta cited a CBSE circular from April 2026 announcing new syllabus launches for Classes 9 through 12 in the coming months as a key growth driver. The company expects FY27 and FY28 to see full adoption of new syllabus books across the K–12 segment, which it believes will support its revenue trajectory over the next two years.
