Deepak Kedia, chief financial officer (CFO), Mastek, said: 'We delivered another quarter of resilient performance, sustaining steady profitability with operating EBITDA margins of 16.1% and PAT margins of 11.0%, despite absorbing the impact of annual wage revisions and labour code true-ups. Our emphasis on working capital efficiency is translating into tangible outcomes, with DSO improving to 73 days and a healthy addition to cash and cash equivalents of Rs 139.7 crore, resulting in a closing balance of Rs 938.5 crore.

This robust cash generation further strengthens our balance sheet and enhances financial flexibility. Reflecting our continued commitment to shareholder returns, the Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 16 per share, aggregating to 480% for the year (vs. 460% in FY25). While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, our deep client relationships, strong deal pipeline, and sustained operational rigor position us well to navigate near-term challenges and capitalize on emerging growth opportunities.'

The board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 16 per equity share (320%) on a face value of Rs 5 each for FY26.
