R K SWAMY reports 26 per cent rise in Q1 FY27 PBT to Rs 4.6 crore

MUMBAI: R K SWAMY is putting its growth where its margins are. The integrated marketing services company reported a 7 per cent year-on-year increase in consolidated total income to Rs 86 crore for Q1 FY27, while profit before tax jumped 26 per cent to Rs 4.6 crore. The company had recorded consolidated total income of Rs 80 crore and PBT of Rs 3.6 crore in the corresponding quarter last year, putting profitability growth well ahead of the topline in the opening quarter of FY27.

The improvement comes as the company looks to squeeze more efficiency out of its growing revenue base. Rajeev Newar, Group CFO, said the priority remains improving profitability through better margins, with operational leverage helping translate revenue growth into stronger earnings. Newer business initiatives are also beginning to contribute to the topline, Newar said, with the company basing its growth targets on what it considers reasonable and achievable assumptions.

Shekar Swamy, Managing Director and Group CEO, said the company continued to execute its new initiatives despite a challenging global environment shaped by geopolitical tensions, energy disruptions and rapid advances in artificial intelligence.

As part of its longer-term strategy, R K SWAMY is expanding its Brand and Marketing Consulting practice, while building infrastructure to support marketing functions and strengthening its talent base.

The company’s Q1 performance therefore reflects a familiar advertising-industry balancing act: grow the business, but make sure the margins grow with it. With operational leverage and newer initiatives supporting profitability, R K SWAMY is looking to make efficiency a bigger part of its growth equation in FY27.
