Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹1,109 cr, a margin of 29.2%, +238 bps on the year and +101 bps on the quarter. Over the last 8 quarters the margin has ranged from 26.0% to 32.0%, averaging 28.4%. Operating costs grew +39.9% against revenue growth of +44.6%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹790 cr, +86.7% on the year and +17.0% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹7.90. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew 75.7%, so 11 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business. The tax rate was 18% against an average of 23% over the previous 8 quarters, which lifted profit this quarter. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹3,333 cr, +60.9% on the four before.
Real estate revenue is booked when projects complete, so the quarterly statements lag the business; pre-sales and collections show where it actually is. The quarterly statements do not carry pre-sales, collections and launches; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹33.37 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹1,058.00 trades at 31.7 times trailing earnings.
