Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Datamatics expects mid-single-digit organic growth for FY '26 across all segments.
  • Overall growth trajectory, including inorganic growth (e.g., TNQTech acquisition), is projected to be around 18% year-on-year.
  • Q4 of FY '26 may see a slight dip due to TNQTech numbers not reflecting as last year.
  • Long-term growth outlook (next 3 years) is bullish, driven heavily by AI-led solutions and increasing AI adoption.
  • New customer acquisitions are increasingly based on AI solutions, with several pilots converting to commercial projects.
  • Growth in Digital Technologies and Digital Operations is expected to improve, while Digital Experiences may see pressure but with a bounce-back.
  • The sales cycle is around 9-12 months, so growth from recent sales initiatives will pick up gradually.
  • Headcount growth will be proportionate to revenue growth due to AI automation efficiencies.

Margin guidance

Category 2
  • The company expects a growth trajectory of around 18% year-on-year, driven by both organic and inorganic factors (including TNQTech acquisition).
  • Organic growth is anticipated at mid-single digits for FY '26, with inorganic contributions from acquisitions boosting overall growth.
  • EBITDA is expected to improve by 50 to 100 basis points during FY '26, supported largely by improvements in Digital Operations and Digital Technologies margins.
  • The company sees steady margin expansion in the near future, with Digital Technologies margins improving due to operational efficiencies, and Digital Experiences expected to bounce back.
  • Investments in AI and digital innovation are expected to drive productivity and profitability improvements over the next 2-3 years.
  • PAT and EPS have shown growth trends, with Q1 FY '26 PAT up 12.3% QoQ and EPS growing 15.7% YoY, suggesting positive momentum going forward.
  • Management maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook for steady improvement in profits and EPS beyond FY '26, contingent on market and investment dynamics.
