Profitability
The profitability of Nazara Technologies Ltd during Q2FY26 presents a complex picture. The company reported a profit before tax of ₹181.97 crores, showing an impressive QoQ increase of 231.6% from ₹54.87 crores in Q1FY26 and a YoY growth of 691.9% from ₹22.98 crores in Q2FY25. However, the profit after tax was negative, at -₹33.93 crores, a stark contrast to the positive ₹36.42 crores reported in Q1FY26 and ₹16.24 crores in Q2FY25. This significant drop in profitability after tax is further reflected in the earnings per share (EPS), which decreased to -₹0.84 from ₹6.04 in Q1FY26 and ₹3.11 in Q2FY25. The negative tax amount of -₹7.78 crores in Q2FY26, compared to -₹5.80 crores in Q1FY26 and ₹3.65 crores in Q2FY25, adds to the complexity of the financial results for this quarter.

This increase in expenses indicates a scaling of operations to support the company's expanding business activities. Despite the rise in expenses, the company achieved a significant increase in profit before tax, although the profit after tax turned negative. The disparity between the pre-tax and post-tax profitability figures suggests that factors such as tax adjustments or extraordinary items may have impacted the net results. The financial data highlights the dynamic nature of Nazara's operations and the associated costs of leveraging growth opportunities in the digital entertainment industry.
