🔵 WATCH ⭐ 7/10

EARNINGS 📅 14 Feb 2026, 05:36 PM

Touchwood Entertainment reported a consolidated PAT of ₹1.77 crore for Q3 FY26, down from ₹3.29 crore in the same quarter last year. Headline revenue fell 33% YoY to ₹24.10 crore, primarily because the company exited its non-core trading and construction segments which contributed significantly in FY25. However, the core Event Management segment showed robust growth, with revenue increasing 48.3% YoY to ₹24.10 crore. Subsidiaries MakeMeUp and WedAdvisor remain in the pre-revenue stage, reporting a combined loss of ₹5.40 lakhs for the quarter.

Standalone Revenue from Operations stood at ₹24.10 crore, down from ₹36.11 crore in Q3 FY25 due to exit from non-core segments.
Core Event Management segment revenue grew 48.3% YoY to ₹24.10 crore from ₹16.25 crore in the previous year.
Net Profit (PAT) for the quarter decreased to ₹1.82 crore compared to ₹3.29 crore in Q3 FY25.
Nine-month (9M FY26) PAT stands at ₹3.54 crore, slightly lower than ₹3.99 crore in 9M FY25.
The company has streamlined operations to focus exclusively on Event Management, reporting zero revenue from Trading and Construction.

💡 Investors should ignore the headline revenue decline as it reflects a strategic exit from low-margin non-core businesses. The focus should remain on the 48% growth in the core event segment and the company's ability to improve margins as it scales its primary business.
