Data Patterns Q2 results

Data Patterns posted a profit after tax (PAT) of 21.97 crore in Q2 FY27 as against 49.19 crore in Q2 FY26, a reduction of 55.3 per cent year-on-year (YoY). 

 

Total revenue for Q2 was Rs. 141.44 crore as against Rs. 313.40 crore in the corresponding quarter of the last financial year, recording a decline of 55 per cent YoY. 

 

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was 31.44 crore in Q2FY27 as against 68.48 crore in the quarter ended September 30, 2025. However, the EBIDTA margin increased marginally from 22.3 per cent in Q2 FY26 to 23.6 per cent in Q2 FY27 due to better gross margins.

 

The order book at the end of the second half of the fiscal year remained strong at Rs. 1,742.07 Cr compared with 926.48 Cr on April 1. Further, the company said it has also negotiated orders worth Rs. 955.76 crore but is yet to receive them.

 

Commenting on the weak performance in Q2 FY27, Srinivasagopalan Rangarajan, Chairman & MD, signalled the impact of high base effect. 

 

"It was a more muted quarter from a revenue perspective, following the exceptionally strong execution in Q2FY26. With several programs milestones progressing and deliveries expected to pick up, we expect H2FY27 to be stronger than H1FY27, supported by our healthy order book and execution momentum," he added.

 

Looking ahead, he said strong order inflows, a healthy pipeline and continued progress in execution position the company well for the remainder of the year. "We remain on track to achieve our full-year targets, and our FY27 guidance remains unchanged"
