CL Educate Reports 53% Revenue Growth for FY26; Empanelled by EdCIL for Online Degree Programs​

Delhi, May 13, 2026: CL Educate Limited today announced its audited consolidated results for the quarter and full year ended March 31, 2026. The results reflect significant year-on-year growth, particularly in the Digital Assessments (DEX) segment, and a strong operational performance, despite higher non-operating charges that impacted the reported net profit.

CL Educate, a major player in the EdTech, MarTech, and Digital Assessments sectors, also announced a strategic empanelment by EdCIL (India) Limited to become a 'Partner for Online Degree Programs/Trainings with Recognized Institutes.'

Financial Highlights for FY26​

On a consolidated basis, the company reported a substantial year-on-year jump in Revenue from Operations, which grew 53% to ₹548.1 crore for FY26, up from ₹358.1 crore in FY25. The Group’s operating leverage showed marked improvement, with Operating EBITDA rising 116% to ₹47.96 crore (compared to ₹22.26 crore in FY25).

Cash generation remained a key strength, with Net Cash generated from Operating Activities increasing nearly fivefold from ₹16.36 crore in FY25 to ₹79.06 crore in FY26.

However, the Group reported a Net Loss of ₹26.05 crore for FY26, compared to a net loss of ₹11.29 crore in FY25. This increased loss was primarily attributed to high non-operating charges, including finance costs of ₹43.64 crore (up from ₹8.34 crore in FY25) and depreciation & amortization at ₹41.44 crore (up from ₹20.16 crore in FY25), both reflecting the full-year impact of the DEXIT Global Limited acquisition.

Consolidated Performance Summary (Year Ended March 31, 2026):

Segment-Wise Growth Drivers​

The performance was driven by the successful integration of the Digital Assessments (DEX) business, which completed its first full year under the Group.

• Digital Assessments (DEX): The segment delivered strong results, achieving revenue of ₹224 crore (on a like-for-like basis) and expanding its Business EBITDA from ₹32 crore to ₹43 crore.
• MarTech: This business saw 11% top-line growth to ₹161.6 crore (FY25: ₹145.7 crore). International growth was strong, with Singapore adding major clients like Moody's, Adobe, Autodesk, and H2O.
• EdTech: The EdTech segment reported revenue of ₹163.2 crore for FY26 (FY25: ₹184.3 crore), maintaining market share across key segments despite a transition to modular and digital-first learning formats.

Strategic Milestone: EdCIL Empanelment​

In a significant strategic development, CL Educate Limited was empanelled by EdCIL (India) Limited, a Mini Ratna Category I CPSE under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, as a ‘Partner for Online Degree Programs/Trainings with Recognized Institutes.’

The empanelment strengthens CL Educate's position in India's Online Program Management (OPM) ecosystem. The company intends to leverage its comprehensive ecosystem, including its assessment capabilities (DEXIT Global) and physical student support network, to collaborate with universities. The alignment supports the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 vision and aims to contribute to India's Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) expansion.
