• Profit After Tax (PAT): ₹50.6 crore, with comparable YoY growth (≈ 30%) over Q1 FY25. AlphaStreet+2Capital Market+2

Growth appears broad-based, driven especially by strong demand in the financial services vertical, increasing traction in emerging technologies (notably GenAI), and contributions from its acquisition, Decision Point. LatentView+1

Despite solid growth, some margin compression was observed, largely due to:

• Wage Inflation: Substantial employee cost increases, especially variable compensation. LatentView+1
• Other Costs: Increased marketing spend; some cost offsets from lower visa-related expenses. LatentView+2ICICI Direct+2

The adjusted EBITDA margin (excluding transaction costs) at 22.2% provides a more nuanced view of the company’s profitability after removing one-off or acquisition-related costs. LatentView

Looking into the rest of FY26, some of the key strategic levers and expectations are:

• Continued growth in the financial services vertical, which earlier grew very rapidly, and the company is targeting growth in excess of 40% YoY for that segment. LatentView+1
• Expansion in GenAI and Agentic AI capabilities, including a Center of Excellence being set up to support scaling. LatentView+1
• Ongoing partnership with Databricks, expected to strengthen offerings in data engineering, cloud solutions, etc. ICICI Direct+2LatentView+2

Latent View’s Q1 FY26 results show strong momentum, with robust growth across revenue and profit. While cost pressures—particularly from wage inflation and increased marketing expenses—have caused some margin compression, the adjusted metrics indicate resilience. Key strategic initiatives in GenAI, the integration of Decision Point, and sectoral strength (especially in BFSI) suggest that Latent View is positioning itself to sustain growth over the coming quarters.
