Info Edge Q3 Results 2026
Info Edge (India) Limited just put out its unaudited numbers for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and they paint a picture of steady resilience mixed with the usual twists that come with a big portfolio of internet businesses.
On a standalone basis, revenue from operations climbed to Rs 764.6 crore, up 13.9 percent from Rs 671.5 crore a year earlier, while billings reached Rs 747.2 crore for an 11.8 percent year-on-year lift; recruitment solutions, the Naukri engine, grew 11 percent in billings to Rs 548 crore, and non-recruitment piece,s including 99acres, Jeevansathi and Shiksha added 14.1 percent combined.
Operating profit came in at Rs 297.3 crore with a margin of 38.9 percent, a nice sequential bump of about 300 basis points in the recruitment side, and cash from operations before tax hit Rs 376.1 crore.
The nine-month standalone revenue stood at Rs 2,246.9 crore, up 14.3 percent, with operating profit at Rs 815 crore. Consolidated revenue from operations was Rs 819.4 crore, profit before exceptional items and share of joint ventures reached Rs 4,155.81 crore, yet after a Rs 518.01 crore exceptional loss (largely the statutory hit from new labour codes) and deferred-tax adjustments on earlier unrealised gains, the quarter closed with a net loss of Rs 23.9 crore; nine-month consolidated net profit was Rs 942 crore.
Segment-wise recruitment solutions revenue hit Rs 5,749.31 crore, standalone with pre-exceptional profit of Rs 3,410.86 crore, 99acres brought in Rs 1,185.78 crore and turned a Rs 120.61 crore segment profit after earlier losses, while the others bucket added Rs 710.42 crore. Those fair-value swings in other comprehensive income were wild again, swinging negative by Rs 53,021.53 crore standalone this quarter after a massive positive run last time, but that’s the nature of holding big listed investments.
The board also declared a second interim dividend of Rs 2.40 per share with record date February 20 and payment from March 9, tweaked the dividend distribution policy a bit for good measure, and noted employee strength at 6,150 with cash reserves still comfortable at Rs 4,825 crore standalone.
It feels like the core businesses are grinding out growth even when hiring sentiment stays cautious, the kind of quiet progress that quietly compounds over years, while the real-estate and matrimony arms keep chipping away at market share; one can almost picture a small-town job seeker finally landing an interview through Naukri or a couple connecting on Jeevansathi after months of swipes, those little human wins stacking up behind the crore figures.
Overall the quarter shows Info Edge navigating uncertainty without losing momentum, the exceptional noise aside, and leaves investors with a fresh payout while the underlying engines keep turning.
