Press Release
Crizac Limited Reports Q1 FY27 Results
Kolkata, West Bengal, 3rd Aug 2026: Crizac Limited, a premier global technology-driven international student recruitment
platform connecting Counselling Partners with higher education institutions, announced its Q1 FY 27 results today.
Financial Summary Q1 FY27 Q1 FY26 YoY% Q4 FY26 QoQ% FY26
Total Income 2,084 2,172 (4.0%) 3,986 (47.7%) 10,711

PAT 471 458 2.9% 750 (37.2%) 2,191

Diluted EPS (in ₹) 2.69 2.62 2.8% 4.29 (37.2%) 12.52
Commenting on the results, Mr. Vikash Agarwal, Managing Director, Crizac Limited, said:
“Q1 FY27 demonstrated the resilience of Crizac Limited’s platform-led model. Total Income stood at ₹2,084 million, a decline of
4.0% YoY, reflecting a less favourable mix of university partners this quarter rather than any reduction in underlying platform
activity. Sequentially, total income was lower than the ₹3,986 million reported in Q4 FY26, in line with the pronounced
seasonality of our business, with Q4 being the peak intake quarter and Q1 being the seasonal trough. Applications processed
moderated by 6.2% YoY to 1.04 lakh. Nevertheless, our underlying network continued to expand, with active counselling partners
increasing by 2.1% to 4,032 and student enrolments rising by 15.0% to 4,751.
Global student mobility continues to navigate an evolving regulatory and currency landscape across key destination markets, with
the composition of demand across universities and destinations shifting accordingly.
We believe this environment is structurally favourable for scaled, compliant and technology-led platforms such as ours, as
universities increasingly consolidate their recruitment around trusted partners capable of delivering quality at scale. This is already
evident in our own performance: despite a contraction in overall study-visa volumes in our largest destination market as well as
overall visas issued to Indian students, our share in both categories has increased.
This was also a quarter of continued inorganic momentum, building on the acquisition-led strategy pursued over the past year. In
June 2026, we made a strategic investment in ForeignAdmits, an AI-led student mobility platform, extending our reach into
education financing and visa preparation and bringing its founder, Nikhil Jain, onto our leadership team as Chief Product &
Marketing Officer. Subsequent to quarter-end, in July 2026, we acquired 100% of Inova Consultancy Limited through our wholly
owned UK subsidiary, strengthening our university partnerships across the UK and Europe, extending our presence into Mexico,
and marking our entry into the Netherlands as a new destination market. Inova's founder, Eric Wijmenga, who has built strong
institutional relationships across England and the wider European region over more than 25 years, joins our executive leadership
as Regional Director, UK and Europe. Alongside this, Mr. Christopher Nagle will step down as Chief Executive Officer of our
UK entity while continuing to serve on its Board as a Director, and will take on the role of Non-Executive Director and Chairman
of the Indian holding company. In these capacities, he will provide Board-level strategic oversight, governance and mentorship,
while day-to-day operational responsibility continues to rest with executive management, ensuring leadership continuity and
preserving institutional knowledge as we enter our next phase of growth.
These transactions build on our earlier expansions and reflect our consistent strategy of using targeted acquisitions to compress
timelines for geographic entry and capability build-out. We believe these acquisitions will serve as a key growth engine in the near
future.

EBITDA for Q1 FY27 stood at ₹600 million, at a margin of 29.8%. On a YoY basis, EBITDA moderated by 7.6% from ₹649
million due to a deliberate step-up in our cost base to support team build-out following our ongoing expansion. Sequentially,
EBITDA was lower due to seasonality; EBITDA margin nonetheless expanded by nearly 585 bps QoQ (from 24.0% to 29.8%),
driven by favourable commission economics carried by the Q1 intake. PAT for the quarter stood at ₹471 million, a YoY growth of
2.9%, with PAT margin expanding 152 bps to 22.6%, supported by the scalable and asset-light nature of our operating model. Due
to seasonality, the higher margins reported in Q1 are not directly comparable to full-year margins and are hence expected to
normalise to more typical levels over the remaining quarters of the year.
We are clear-eyed about the near-term headwinds from evolving visa policies and currency movements, and expect volume trends
to remain policy-sensitive over the coming quarters. Notwithstanding these headwinds, long-term structural demand for quality
international education remains strong, underpinned by growing aspirations across India, Africa and wider Asia, and by India’s
emergence as the largest source market in several key destinations. We are well-positioned to capture this opportunity through our
diversified presence across 85+ source countries and 12 destination markets, our expanding ancillary revenue layer, platform
scalability, and continued focus on resilient organic as well as inorganic growth.”
