JSW Energy Ltd. reported revenue of ₹2,879 cr for April to June 2024, −1.7% on the year and +4.5% on the quarter.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹1,418 cr, a margin of 49.3%, +752 bps on the year and +684 bps on the quarter. Operating costs grew −14.4% against revenue growth of −1.7%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹534 cr, +84.1% on the year and +54.8% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹2.99. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew 56.6%, so 28 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business.
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 ₹11.71 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹523.15 trades at 44.7 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.
