Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹2,996 cr, a margin of 57.9%, +583 bps on the year and +364 bps on the quarter. It is the widest margin of the last 8 quarters (range 37.5% to 57.9%). Operating costs grew +40.4% against revenue growth of +59.9%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹824 cr, −6.0% on the year and −1.4% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹4.03. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew faster, at −0.8%; other income, one-offs or tax held the headline back. The tax rate was 14% against an average of 20% over the previous 5 quarters, which lifted profit this quarter. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹2,232 cr, +12.3% on the four before.
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 ₹11.57 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹523.15 trades at 45.2 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.
Finance cost rose fast and now takes a large bite of operating profit. New borrowing, or a higher rate?
