Reading the Statements forensic interpretation

What the numbers mean when read together — computed from the filings, not a score.

Operating cash flow backs the profit

Operating cash flow is 155% of trailing profit — the earnings are converting to cash, not just accruals.

Full read

Last operating cash flow ₹20,356 cr against trailing net profit ₹13,121 cr. A ratio at or above ~0.9 means reported profit is showing up as real cash.

Profit growing with revenue

Both revenue and profit grew over the last year (23.9% and 16.5%) — growth is translating to the bottom line.

Full read

Trailing revenue ₹40,431 cr, trailing profit ₹13,121 cr. Profit growing at least as fast as revenue indicates operating leverage or pricing power.

Net margin compressing

Net margin has narrowed from 36.3% to 33.7% year-on-year — profitability per rupee of sales is shrinking.

Full read

Quarter net margin 33.7% vs 36.3% four quarters earlier. Sustained compression signals pricing pressure, cost inflation, or mix deterioration.

Generates free cash

Free cash flow is positive and consistent — the business funds itself after capex.

Full read

Latest free cash flow ₹5,074 cr. Negative in only 0 of 12 years. A self-funding business needs less external capital and dilutes less.

Borrowing while holding investments

Borrowings rose 28% over two years while the company also carries ₹5,449 cr in investments. Why borrow at interest while parking money elsewhere is a fair question.

Full read

Borrowings moved to ₹63,566 cr from ₹49,470 cr. Simultaneous large investments can be legitimate treasury management, or a sign that reported cash is not freely available.

Price & Valuation 10-year, split-adjusted

Markers show corporate actions (splits, bonus, dividends). Prices are split-adjusted so the series is continuous.
