Q3 Financial Performance (YoY):
Net Profit: ₹54.6 crore vs ₹53.5 crore, up 2%
Revenue: ₹129.5 crore vs ₹133 crore, down 2.6%
EBITDA: ₹57.5 crore vs ₹53.7 crore, up 7%
EBITDA Margin: 44.4% vs 40.4%
Summary:
While revenue declined modestly, Trident delivered higher EBITDA and profit growth, driven by significant margin expansion. Improved cost efficiency and operating leverage helped offset topline weakness.

Learning Outcome:
Rising EBITDA margins despite lower revenue indicate effective cost control. However, consistent topline growth is essential to sustain profitability over the longer term.
