Indian Energy Exchange Ltd. reported revenue of ₹139 cr for July to September 2024, +27.5% on the year and +12.1% on the quarter. It is the highest quarterly revenue in the last 6 quarters on record.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹120 cr, a margin of 86.3%, +193 bps on the year and +569 bps on the quarter. Over the last 6 quarters the margin has ranged from 78.8% to 87.0%, averaging 84.0%. Operating costs grew +11.8% against revenue growth of +27.5%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹106 cr, +27.7% on the year and +14.0% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹1.19. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew faster, at +31.0%; other income, one-offs or tax held the headline back. The tax rate of 26% is in line with its recent average.
Most power earnings are regulated returns on equity, with fuel costs passed through, so revenue can swing with fuel prices while profit moves far less. The quarterly statements do not carry plant load factor, capacity added and regulated equity; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹4.31 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹107.95 trades at 25.0 times trailing earnings.
