Pine Labs recorded its first full year of profitability - with a PAT of 2113 Cr against a loss of 2145 Crin the prior year, a swing of 258 Crina single year. Q4 FY26 alone delivered 259 Cr in PAT, the highest quarterly profitin the company's history. Operating cash flows reached 2395 Cr for the full year, growing 8x year-on-year. That same quarter delivered 676 Cr in operating cashflow - the highest quarterly figure in the company''s history. Full-year revenues grew 19% YoY to 22,711 Cr, with Adjusted EBITDA reaching 2559 Cr, growing 57% YoY, with margins expanding from 16% to 21% in a single year (FY26 vs FY25).

Beneath the revenue line, Pine Labs processed $194 billion in Gross Transaction Value in FY26, growing 50% YoY, with UPI volumes accelerating 68% and the platform enabling over 20 million daily transactions.

"These numbers tell us we are winning transactions, winning merchants, and winning in new markets," said Amrish Rau, Chief Executive Officer, Pine Labs. "When GTV grows at 50% while revenue grows at 19%, it reflects the platform depth we have built - and it leaves significant monetisation headroom ahead of us."

From Payments to Commerce Infrastructure

Pine Labs has systematically built a Commerce Operating System: a platform of infrastructure layers designed so that each feeds the next. Distribution generates scale, scale generates data, data enables Al-native services, and Al-native services deepen merchant and brand stickiness - which in turn expands the surfaces on which Pine Labs operates. Today, 2 million terminals, 450+ brands, and 177 financialinstitutions operate on this stack - a three-sided network where every new participant makes every existing participant more valuable. The result is visible in the numbers: more than 250 of every incremental 2100 of contribution margin now flows through to Adjusted EBITDA, and the percentage of terminals actively generating revenue from Pine Labs' highermargin affordability and payments infrastructure layers expanded from 22% to 30% year-on-year.

Al Already in Production - Not on a Roadmap

Today, approximately 89% of the company's code changes are contributed by Al agents - reflecting a deliberate decision to re-wire the organisation from the ground up for the Al era.

That capability is now being directed at some of the hardest unsolved problems in financial services. SignallQ - already live with banks and fintechs - targets a fundamental blind spot in credit underwriting, turning UPI transaction data that legacy systems cannot read into credit intelligence. The company has partnered with OpenAl to co-build the next generation of agentic commerce solutions, with its Agentic Commerce Suite already live on ChatGPT. Management believes agentic commerce represents the next structural expansion of the transaction universe - compressing individual transaction values while multiplying transaction counts - and Pine 1005 architecture is purpose-built to sit at the centre of it.

International Revenue: From Ambition to Delivery

Pine Labs'international business has grown at a 44% CAGR over the past three years, now contributing approximately 15% of total revenue - up from 9% three years ago - with FY26 international revenue crossing 400 Cr. In Southeast Asig, Pine Labs partnered with GCash, the Philippines' leading finance super app, powering acquiring, affordability, and loyalty solutions. In the Middle East, the company secured multi-year contracts with Wio Bank in the UAE and expanded with Emirates NBD into Saudi Arabia and Egypt. In the United States, Pine Labs launched prepaid programmes with marquee consumer brands - marking Pine Labs'entry into the US market. The company now operates across 22 countries.

"We are not just processing payments," said Rau. "We are building the infrastructure layer that merchants, financial institutions, and brands will rely on to grow - in India and across the Global South. The fintech model Pine Labs has built at scale in Indiais exactly what emerging markets across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa are looking to adopt. Thatis a structural opportunity, and we intend to win it."
