Data Patterns (India) Ltd. reported revenue of ₹91.0 cr for July to September 2024, −15.7% on the year and −12.5% on the quarter.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹34.0 cr, a margin of 37.4%, −60 bps on the year and +179 bps on the quarter. Over the last 6 quarters the margin has ranged from 31.1% to 51.1%, averaging 39.3%. Operating costs grew −14.9%, broadly with revenue, so operating profit kept pace with sales.
Net profit was ₹30.0 cr, −11.8% on the year and −9.1% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹5.41. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax fell 20.0%, so 8 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business. The tax rate of 24% is in line with its recent average.
Defence revenue is lumpy and weighted to the fourth quarter, when deliveries are booked; the order book is the better gauge of the year. The quarterly statements do not carry the order book, export orders and execution; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹33.07 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹4,073.00 trades at 123.2 times trailing earnings.
Written from the quarterly statements. The filing read adds the balance sheet and cash flow filed with this quarter, the auditor's review, segment results, one-off items line by line and what management said on the call.
