Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Physicswallah Limited reported its financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, delivering an EBITDA-positive quarter of Rs 52 Cr with an operating margin of 4.9%.
Revenue from operations grew 24% year-on-year to Rs 1,054 Cr, supported by ongoing expansion across educational categories and solid learner engagement metrics.
The business faced a temporary disruption from the NEET exam cycle delay, which impacted the timing of enrolments and led to lower NEET enrolments during Q1. Despite this, Adjusted EBITDA saw an over five-fold year-on-year increase to Rs 135 Cr, with its margin improving to 12.9%.
Pre-IndAS EBITDA loss narrowed significantly to Rs 44 Cr from Rs 89 Cr reported in Q1 FY26, while the PAT loss moderated to Rs 88 Cr from Rs 127 Cr in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
The online K-12 and Early Learning segments gained strong traction during the quarter, driven by expanded offerings across major school boards and foundation programmes.
With exam results announced and the new academic cycle underway, management noted that momentum has picked up strongly from July, reflecting robust enrolment and collection trends for online NEET offerings.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented -8.3% of reported quarterly operating revenue. This is a calculated net-profit-to-sales ratio, not a company-reported operating margin. It measures the outcome after expenses and tax; it does not, by itself, establish how margins changed versus another period.
Ratios above are calculated from the reported quarterly figures. They are analytical descriptions, not company-reported margin guidance or an investment recommendation.
