Tree House Education (TREEHOUSE) Q2 FY27 Revenue Plunges 22% as Losses Widen to ₹17.6 Crore
The preschool operator's revenue fell sharply year-on-year and sequentially, while its quarterly loss expanded dramatically from a year ago.
Tree House Education's Q2 FY27 revenue dropped 22% YoY to ₹0.83 crore, with losses surging to ₹17.6 crore. The company faces a prolonged period of declining revenue and profitability amid operational challenges.
Tree House Education's latest quarter shows a business in deep distress. Revenue has fallen to a trickle, and losses have widened dramatically, highlighting the severe operational challenges facing the preschool operator.
The numbers tell a stark story of contraction. Revenue for Q2 FY27 was just ₹0.83 crore, down 22% from the same period last year and 28% from the previous quarter. The net loss, however, exploded to ₹17.6 crore, a massive deterioration from the ₹0.10 crore loss in Q2 FY26.

The Costs Behind the Collapse
The collapse in profitability is not simply a function of lower sales. Research from Informed.sh shows total expenses for Q1 FY27 were ₹4.23 crore against revenue of ₹1.15 crore, a pattern that likely continued. A large portion of these costs are categorized as 'other expenses', which have been volatile and high in recent periods, pointing to significant non-operational or legacy financial charges.
A Business in Transition and Turmoil
The company's core model has shifted from running its own preschools to a franchise system years ago, but this has not stemmed the decline. According to a report by Stockfin.ai, the company is also weighed down by legal disputes and provisions for bad debts, including a large, refundable security deposit with a trust. These non-operational headwinds are consuming what little revenue the business generates.
A Glimmer of Regulatory Relief
Amid the financial turmoil, there was one piece of positive news. Business Standard reported in October 2026 that SEBI gave Tree House a clean chit after a six-year forensic audit into alleged financial misstatements. This closure removes a long-standing regulatory overhang, though it does little to address the fundamental business challenges.
Key Points
- Revenue fell to ₹0.83 crore in Q2 FY27, down 22% year-on-year and 28% sequentially.
- Net loss ballooned to ₹17.6 crore, a severe deterioration from a ₹0.10 crore loss in Q2 FY26.
- High 'other expenses' and provisions for legal and credit risks are eroding the minimal revenue base.
- SEBI closed a six-year forensic audit with no action, removing a key regulatory uncertainty.
- The company remains almost debt-free but is trapped in a cycle of declining revenue and mounting losses.
Hexa Perspective
The quarter underscores a business with negligible operational scale. Revenue is now below ₹1 crore per quarter, yet expenses remain multiples higher, ensuring deep losses continue. The SEBI clean chit is a positive step, but the path to viability is unclear.
With no debt, the company avoids immediate insolvency risk, but the core issue is a lack of sustainable revenue. Until it can significantly grow its top line or drastically cut its cost base—a difficult task given the legal and financial provisions—the losses are likely to persist. Investors are essentially betting on a recovery of legacy assets, not the current preschool operations.
