Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹9,285 cr, a margin of 19.6%, +228 bps on the year and +307 bps on the quarter. It is the widest margin of the last 8 quarters (range 13.5% to 19.6%). Operating costs grew +6.8% against revenue growth of +9.8%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹4,696 cr, +112.6% on the year and −75.6% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹19.02. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew 99.7%, so 13 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business. The tax rate was 24% against an average of 30% over the previous 7 quarters, which lifted profit this quarter. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹27,995 cr, +479.2% on the four before.
Metal margins move with the spread between product prices and coal and ore costs, so large quarterly swings are normal here and say more about prices than about the business. The quarterly statements do not carry volumes, realisation per tonne and the cost of coal and ore; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹101.35 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹1,214.50 trades at 12.0 times trailing earnings.
