Sales touched a record ₹7,398 Cr for a June quarter. Financial Highlights (Consolidated) ✧ Revenue: ₹7,397.8 Cr (+12.8% YoY) ✧ Total Income: ₹7,456.1 Cr (+13.3% YoY) ✧ EBITDA Margin: 11.73% (vs 13.23% YoY) ✧ PBT: ₹467.7 Cr (vs ₹38.4 Cr YoY) ✧ PAT: ₹348.9 Cr (vs ₹12.9 Cr YoY) ✧ EPS: ₹5.52 (vs ₹0.20 YoY) I wanted to mention a couple of things. ➤ Revenue continued to grow at a healthy pace, with the APMEA business remaining the biggest contributor. ➤ Debt-to-equity and balance sheet safety ratios improved compared to last year. ⚠️ The sharp jump in profit isn't only because of better operations. Last year's numbers were hit by a large exceptional loss related to the Netherlands restructuring. This quarter, the company booked a small exceptional gain, including ₹24.7 Cr received from IL&FS against an old deposit that had already been written off. ⚠️ EBITDA margin came down to 11.73% from 13.23% YoY, so margins will be something to watch over the next few quarters. The business continues to do well, but don't look at the PAT growth alone. The exceptional items make the YoY comparison look much stronger than the core operating performance.
