CL Educate posts H1 revenue surge, but net profit drops due to acquisition costs

CL Educate Ltd. reported substantial growth for the half-year ended September 30, 2025, with consolidated revenue from operations increasing by 62% year-over-year to ₹310.03 crore. Operating EBITDA saw a 92% rise, reaching ₹40.87 crore, reflecting strong operational momentum. However, net profit for the half-year reduced to ₹1.49 crore, compared to a profit of ₹7.55 crore in H1 FY25, primarily due to increased finance costs and depreciation related to the acquisition of DEXIT Global Limited.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, revenue from operations grew by 13% quarter-over-quarter to ₹164.34 crore, and operating EBITDA improved to ₹23.36 crore. Profit before tax for the quarter stood at ₹5.37 crore. The company emphasized that its diversified business model, including stabilizing EdTech and double-digit growth in MarTech and assessments, contributed to these results.

The acquisition of DEXIT Global Limited, completed on February 20, 2025, expanded the company's digital assessments capabilities, positioning it for further growth. CL Educate also noted an exceptional expense of ₹419.21 lacs in the previous year towards the acquisition of DEXIT Global Limited.
