BY ADMIN • FILED 30 Jul 2026, 3:39 PM

IIFL Capital Services Limited has released the transcript of its earnings conference call for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27). The company reported stable operational performance during the quarter, with steady revenue and improved profitability supported by higher other income.

Operational Profit Before Tax (PBT) increased sequentially, while mark-to-market (MTM) gains on the company’s investment in BSE Limited boosted other income.

Key Financial Highlights (Q1 FY27)

Consolidated Operational Revenue: ₹631 crore, broadly flat on both a year-on-year (YoY) and quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis.
Operational Profit Before Tax (PBT): ₹149 crore, up 4% QoQ.
Other Income: Increased by ₹90 crore, primarily due to mark-to-market (MTM) gains on the company’s investment in BSE.

Segment-wise Performance

Retail Broking

Revenue: ₹297 crore
Growth: Up 13% YoY from ₹264 crore
Revenue remained largely stable on a sequential basis, supported by continued client activity.

Institutional Equities and Investment Banking

Revenue: ₹207 crore
Growth: Up 27% QoQ from ₹163 crore in Q4 FY26
Revenue remained broadly stable compared with the corresponding quarter last year.

Financial Product Distribution

Revenue: ₹125 crore
Lower than the previous quarter due to seasonal softness in insurance distribution and the absence of one-time transaction income recorded in Q4 FY26.

Cost Management

The company maintained a disciplined cost structure during the quarter.

Employee Expenses: ₹179 crore
Finance Costs: ₹60 crore, reflecting growth in the Margin Trading Facility (MTF) loan book.
