    Q&A highlights

    7

    “The standalone number has not actually gone down. So we have focus on the large contract. If you seen we wanna contracts from the Government of India as well. So all we understand the government revenue comes slow and goes slow, right. So the number has not gone down which will be counted in the H2. So that's what we are aiming but. You will end of the day you will see in consolidated you will see the growth in the standalone as well and also there is a there is a internal transaction.”

    Highlights a potential discrepancy between standalone and consolidated results, which management attributes to internal restructuring and slower government revenue recognition, requiring further clarification.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Strong H1 FY26 Financial Performance

    TAC Infosec reported robust financial results for H1 FY26, with total income reaching ₹30.6 crores, marking a 137% increase year-on-year from ₹13.1 crores in H1 FY25. Profit After Tax (PAT) also saw a significant jump of 138.5% to ₹15.5 crores, up from ₹6.5 crores in the prior year. This strong top-line and bottom-line growth was accompanied by substantial margin expansion, with EBITDA margin improving by 10.3 points to 63.4% and PAT margin rising by 1.7 points to 51.3%.

    02

    Product-Led Growth and Innovation

    The company emphasized its identity as a 100% product-driven company, attributing its high growth rates, including a 178% YoY EBITDA growth, to solution innovation, particularly its ESOF solution. Management highlighted that their generative AI solutions, developed over several years, are now yielding significant results. New products like Socify, Cyberscope, and Cyber Sandia are expected to further drive growth, with Socify's base price increased to $4500 due to demand.

    03

    Client Acquisition and Market Leadership Ambition

    TAC Infosec's client base has grown to 7,500, positioning it as the fifth-largest vulnerability management company globally. The company reiterated its target to reach 10,000 clients by 2026 and become one of the top three players in the vulnerability management space. Socify, a new offering, aims to disrupt the $4 billion SOC 2 compliance market, with a short-term target of over 200 customers by December 2025.

    04

    Strategic International Expansion and Cyberscope IPO

    The company is heavily investing in operational setups in Canada, the UK, and other international entities, which is influencing standalone financial reporting due to internal transactions and tax benefits from subsidiaries like Delaware Tax Security Inc. A key strategic move is the ongoing process for Cyberscope's IPO in the US, with an F1 filing already submitted. Management noted that the SEC shutdown due to the US government shutdown is not impacting their internal timelines, with a December 2025 target for the process.

    05

    Capital Allocation for Future Growth

    TAC Infosec plans to invest $100 million in AI and R&D by 2030 to develop new products and solutions. While prioritizing funding through internal cash flow and profits, management stated openness to external funding for large acquisitions that could accelerate growth and shareholder value. The company aims to achieve a $100 million revenue target by 2030, though the transcript ambiguously stated 'INR company' for this target.

    06

    Margin Sustainability and Cost Management

    Despite facing higher ESOP costs and the absence of tax rebates available in previous years, the company successfully expanded its margins. Management expressed confidence in maintaining and overachieving its top-line and bottom-line growth targets for H2 FY26, suggesting that the current high profitability levels are sustainable due to operational efficiencies and product value. An analyst's concern about high receivables was acknowledged, with a promise for a follow-up response.
