Frontier Springs updates bonus shares record date and strong Q3FY26 earnings

Frontier Springs Limited has revised the record date for its planned bonus shares, drawing fresh interest from market participants. The company now plans to determine eligible shareholders on Friday, March 13, 2026, instead of March 6, 2026, while keeping the previously announced 2:1 bonus ratio and other key terms unchanged.

The bonus issue offers two fully paid equity shares with face value Rs 10 each for every existing fully paid equity share of Rs 10 held on the revised record date. Subject to members' approval, the deemed allotment date is Monday, March 16, 2026, and the bonus shares are expected to list for trading from Tuesday, March 17, 2026, under applicable SEBI rules.

Alongside the bonus shares update, Frontier Springs reported a strong year-on-year performance for Q3FY26, though sequential trends remained softer. Revenue from operations in Q3FY26 increased to Rs 81.43 crore from Rs 58.27 crore in Q3FY25, a rise of 39.75%, while sequential revenue eased 1.58% compared to Rs 82.74 crore in Q2FY26.

The company’s total income for Q3FY26 reached Rs 81.51 crore, compared with Rs 58.33 crore in Q3FY25, indicating a 39.74% annual increase. Operating expenses climbed to Rs 61.23 crore, up 33.54% year-on-year, but were nearly flat quarter-on-quarter, moving just 0.68%, which supported margin expansion despite the slight decline in sequential revenue.

EBITDA for Q3FY26 rose to Rs 20.27 crore from Rs 12.47 crore in Q3FY25, marking 62.53% growth on an annual basis. However, EBITDA was lower than Rs 22.07 crore reported in Q2FY26, registering an 8.16% sequential decline, and the EBITDA margin improved to 24.90% from 21.41% year-on-year, yet moderated from 26.68% quarter-on-quarter.

The nine-month performance reinforced the improvement seen in quarterly figures, with Frontier Springs posting revenue from operations of Rs 239.52 crore in 9MFY26, compared to Rs 161.26 crore in 9MFY25, representing growth of 48.53%. Total income for the same period increased 48.27% to Rs 240.36 crore, indicating sustained demand across the financial year so far.

Profitability also strengthened for the nine months. EBITDA advanced 90.72% to Rs 62.77 crore in 9MFY26, against Rs 32.90 crore in 9MFY25, while EBITDA margin widened to 26.21% from 20.41%. Profit Before Tax climbed 96.43% to Rs 60.16 crore, and Profit After Tax rose 94.46% to Rs 44.73 crore, compared with Rs 23.00 crore in the previous nine-month period.

The latest quarterly profit metrics showed similar trends, though with some quarter-on-quarter cooling. Profit Before Tax in Q3FY26 stood at Rs 19.15 crore, up 67.09% from Q3FY25, but lower than Rs 21.08 crore in Q2FY26 by 9.16%. Profit After Tax reached Rs 14.28 crore against Rs 8.73 crore a year earlier, yet declined from Rs 15.71 crore reported in Q2FY26.
