Dr. Kailash Katkar, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Quick Heal Technologies Limited, said, “Our 1st quarter results show an improved YoY double digit growth in Revenue. The Enterprise segment continues its strong momentum because of our years of hard work on the R&D and customer centricity. We have set up a strong customer base in the SMB segment in India through years of S&M efforts. With the new products releases and our shift towards large Enterprise, the future looks far more promising. Our newly launched ZTUA product was able to garner traction and acquired first customer in this quarter, which further solidifies our belief,” he added.

Mr. Navin Sharma, Chief Financial Officer, Quick Heal Technologies Limited, said, “We have delivered strong growth in revenues within Q1-FY23, through continued demand for our products. The enterprise segment has already become one-third of our overall business and has grown by ~50% YoY. We are continuing to invest heavily into R&D and S&M for future. We have seen early successes and are very confident of the future growth. We are committed to driving shareholder value by growing profitability across both of our segments and driving solid Unlevered Cash Flow. We have constantly rewarded our shareholders through buyback and dividend distribution programs and have returned INR 436 Cr to our shareholders since FY20,” he added.

We have proposed a buyback of INR 150 Cr for our shareholders.
