Management Commentary

Commenting on the results, Umang Nahata, Chief Executive Officer, Mastek, said:

“In Q3FY26, our revenue declined sequentially in rupee terms, primarily due to higher furloughs, planned project go-lives in the US and AMEA, and the right-shift of a few engagements. Despite these near-term headwinds and seasonal softness, we delivered another quarter of healthy EBITDA margin expansion driven by strong operational discipline and AI-led efficiencies.

Our 12-month order backlog grew sequentially, and the pipeline remains strong across the UK, US, and AMEA. We continue to see robust demand in the Healthcare segment and for AI-led solutions globally. With over 26 new AI engagements and 17 new client additions during the quarter, we remain confident in our long-term strategy and our ability to deliver sustainable and profitable growth.”

Deepak Kedia, Chief Financial Officer, Mastek, added:

“We reported an operating EBITDA margin expansion of 60 bps quarter-on-quarter, even after factoring in labour code changes and furloughs. PAT also grew sequentially, supported by a significant expansion in PAT margin. Strong operating cash flows during the quarter reflect our continued focus on financial discipline, execution efficiency, and value creation for stakeholders.”
