Faze Three reports 30% revenue growth but profit shrinks by nearly 30%
FY26 standalone revenue hit ₹860.11 crore, yet bottom-line pressure from derivatives losses dragged profits down.
— 3 earlier stories on Faze Three Ltd. →What's new
- Standalone revenue climbed 30.5% to ₹860.11 crore for FY26.
- Net profit dropped 29.6% to ₹28.05 crore, hit by mark-to-market derivative losses.
- Standalone quarterly profit recovered to ₹14.36 crore from the prior ₹5.29 crore.
Why this matters
Top-line growth remains strong, but the sharp contraction in annual earnings exposes the impact of financial-hedging volatility. The sequential quarterly improvement offers a glimmer of recovery, yet the annual decline keeps the focus on cost management.
What we're watching
- Whether the derivative losses are a one-off or signal deeper treasury risks.
- The trajectory of operating margins in coming quarters.

The full read
Faze Three delivered a year of contrasts for FY26. Standalone revenue jumped 30.5% to reach ₹860.11 crore, signaling strong underlying demand. However, the company failed to convert that growth into bottom-line gains, as net profit slid 29.6% to ₹28.05 crore. The culprit is a higher expense base, specifically a hit from mark-to-market losses on derivatives. There is evidence of a turnaround in the final stretch, with quarterly standalone profit rising to ₹14.36 crore from the ₹5.29 crore recorded in the previous quarter. The auditor offered no caveats, issuing an unmodified report. The results are a standard annual disclosure, yet they frame a clear challenge for management: keeping costs from erasing the gains of a growing top line. The sequential profit lift is the only metric currently working in their favor.
Questions answered
- Why did net profit fall if revenue grew by 30.5%?
- Net profit declined due to higher overall expenses, specifically including mark-to-market losses on derivatives.
- Is the auditor's report clean?
- Yes, the auditor's report for the FY26 results is unmodified.
