Mazagoan Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. reported revenue of ₹3,174 cr for January to March 2025, +2.3% on the year and +1.0% on the quarter. It is the highest quarterly revenue in the last 8 quarters on record. Over the last four quarters revenue comes to ₹11,432 cr, +20.8% on the four before.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹119 cr, a margin of 3.7%, −1,313 bps on the year and −2,224 bps on the quarter. It is the narrowest margin of the last 8 quarters (range 3.7% to 27.2%). Operating costs grew +18.4%, faster than revenue at +2.3%, so operating profit grew less than sales.
Net profit was ₹325 cr, −51.0% on the year and −59.7% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹8.06. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax fell 83.4%, so 32 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business. The tax rate was 21% against an average of 26% over the previous 7 quarters, which lifted profit this quarter. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹2,413 cr, +24.6% on the four before.
Capital goods and EPC revenue follows project execution, which makes quarters uneven; the order book and new orders tell more about the year than one quarter does. The quarterly statements do not carry the order book, new orders and working capital; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹59.83 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹2,092.00 trades at 35.0 times trailing earnings.
