MUMBAI: R K Swamy seems to have found the right script for Q1, a plot with steady revenues, tighter expenses, and a profit scene worth watching. The integrated marketing services player posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 287.46 lakh for the quarter ended 30 June 2025, up from Rs 217.93 lakh in the year-ago period. Revenue from operations stood at Rs 7,756.79 lakh, with total income touching Rs 8,024.81 lakh, powered by Rs 268.02 lakh in other income.
Operational expenses rose to Rs 2,494.25 lakh from Rs 2,173.20 lakh, while employee costs were slightly higher at Rs 3,182.71 lakh. Other expenses climbed to Rs 1,468.53 lakh. EBITDA came in at Rs 879.32 lakh, well ahead of the Rs 703.22 lakh posted last year, though below the March quarter’s Rs 1,972.21 lakh.
Finance costs and depreciation stood at Rs 85.45 lakh and Rs 433.52 lakh respectively, leading to a profit before tax of Rs 360.35 lakh. Total tax expenses were Rs 72.89 lakh.
The quarter also saw Rs 5,400 lakh of IPO proceeds fully deployed for working capital, while Rs 3,626.22 lakh earmarked for general corporate purposes has also been utilised. However, Rs 5,458.43 lakh remains unutilised including Rs 1,098.50 lakh for a planned DVCP Studio, Rs 2,838.20 lakh for IT infrastructure across R K Swamy and its subsidiaries Hansa Research and Hansa Customer Equity, and Rs 1,521.73 lakh for new CEC and CATI facilities.

While adland has seen its fair share of headwinds, R K Swamy’s Q1 suggests the company is positioning itself for a year of expansion with big-ticket infrastructure investments waiting in the wings to take centre stage.
