Afcons Infrastructure Ltd. reported revenue of ₹3,154 cr for April to June 2024, −0.5% on the year and −13.3% on the quarter.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹353 cr, a margin of 11.2%, +161 bps on the year and +143 bps on the quarter. Operating costs grew −2.3% against revenue growth of −0.5%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹92.0 cr, +1.1% on the year and −36.6% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹2.69. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax fell 2.6%, so 4 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business. The tax rate of 32% is in line with its recent average.
Capital goods and EPC revenue follows project execution, which makes quarters uneven; the order book and new orders tell more about the year than one quarter does. The quarterly statements do not carry the order book, new orders and working capital; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹36.65 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹243.92 trades at 6.7 times trailing earnings.
Written from the quarterly statements. The filing read adds the balance sheet and cash flow, the auditor's review, segment results, one-off items line by line and what management said on the call.
No check fired. That is a statement about the checks below, not a verdict on the company.
Could not run on this quarter: Exceptional items that recur, Cash behind the profit, Receivables against sales, Inventory against sales, Borrowing while holding cash, Auditor's review or audit report, IPO money used as stated, Related-party transactions, Exits, postponements, restatements, Promoter pledges and allotments, Earlier promises against delivery, When the results were filed. Most need the filing read (balance sheet, cash flow, auditor, disclosures).
Net profit a year ago, each driver's change, and net profit now. Blue added profit, red took it away.
