🔵 WATCH ⭐ 8/10

EARNINGS 📅 12 Feb 2026, 06:07 PM

CL Educate reported a robust 67% YoY revenue growth to ₹445 crore for 9M FY26, largely driven by the DEX business acquisition which contributed ₹194 crore. While EBITDA surged 120% to ₹59 crore, the company posted a net loss of ₹16 crore due to high finance costs and INDAS-related accounting entries. Management highlighted that adjusted for non-cash INDAS impacts and new labor code costs, PAT would have grown to approximately ₹17 crore. The Digital Assessments (DEX) segment showed strong performance with 100% client retention and improved margins.
