Birlasoft Reports 3.4% Revenue Growth in Q2 FY26 Amid Challenges

Birlasoft Ltd has reported a revenue increase of 3.4% quarter-on-quarter, reaching ₹13,289 million for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2026, which concluded on September 30, 2025. This growth comes despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, as stated by Angan Guha, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Birlasoft.

In a detailed financial update released on November 6, 2025, the company highlighted a significant improvement in its performance metrics. The EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) rose to ₹2,133 million, marking a 34.3% increase from the previous quarter. The EBITDA margin expanded to 16.0%, up from 12.4% in Q1 FY26, underscoring the firm’s enhanced operational efficiencies.

Key Financial Highlights

Mr. Chandrasekar Thyagarajan, Chief Financial Officer, elaborated on the results, stating, “Our revenue growth was driven primarily by the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) and Lifesciences & Services verticals, which compensated for a decline in the Manufacturing sector.” Lifesciences & Services saw a growth of 6.4%, while BFSI grew 1.8% in dollar terms.

The company’s revenue performance indicated a robust pipeline, with new deals signed amounting to a total contract value (TCV) of $107 million during the quarter. This included new deal wins of $40 million and renewals of $67 million. The number of active clients decreased to 239 from 247 in the previous quarter, reflecting some rationalization of tail accounts.

Cash and cash equivalents stood at ₹23,434 million, reflecting a 3% increase quarter-on-quarter and a substantial 26% rise year-on-year. The company maintained a strong cash flow, with days sales outstanding (DSO) improving to 55 days from 58 days in the previous quarter.
