P&L walk
Revenue increased to ₹1,362.21 crore, +20.7% YoY and +7.3% QoQ, but gross margin compressed to 29.8% from 37.3% YoY and operating margin fell to about 0.5% from 4.0%; PAT rose to ₹57.36 crore, +97.6% YoY, mainly because other income increased to ₹105.04 crore.
Segments
Specialty Steel remained the group driver with revenue of ₹1,321.46 crore and segment result of ₹89.19 crore, while Industrial Machinery & Engineering Contracts improved to ₹2.13 crore from a ₹2.75 crore loss YoY; standalone PAT of ₹61.33 crore exceeded consolidated PAT of ₹57.36 crore by ₹3.97 crore.
Key positives
- Consolidated revenue increased to ₹1,362.21 crore, +20.7% YoY and +7.3% QoQ.
- Industrial Machinery & Engineering Contracts turned profitable at ₹2.13 crore versus a ₹2.75 crore loss YoY.
- Finance costs were broadly stable YoY at ₹34.07 crore versus ₹33.89 crore, despite the 20.7% revenue increase.
- Revenue growth of 20.7% exceeded raw-material-cost growth of approximately 19.7%, indicating some evidence of pass-through even though gross margin compressed.
Key concerns
- Gross margin compressed to 29.8% from 37.3% YoY, while operating margin fell to about 0.5% from about 4.0%; the filing does not disclose the cause.
- PAT of ₹57.36 crore was not representative of operating earnings because other income reached ₹105.04 crore, including a land-sale surplus.
- Operating profit remained weak despite revenue growth, with calculated operating margin of about 0.5% versus about 4.0% YoY.
