Oil India Ltd. reported revenue of ₹8,337 cr for October to December 2024, −13.3% on the year and +15.0% on the quarter.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹2,542 cr, a margin of 30.5%, −532 bps on the year and −450 bps on the quarter. It is the narrowest margin of the last 7 quarters (range 30.5% to 46.3%). Operating costs grew −6.1%, faster than revenue at −13.3%, so operating profit grew less than sales.
Net profit was ₹1,457 cr, −44.1% on the year and −29.6% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹8.23. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew faster, at −38.6%; other income, one-offs or tax held the headline back. The tax rate of 24% is in line with its recent average.
Refining and marketing profits swing with crude and product margins, and inventory gains or losses can move a single quarter sharply. The quarterly statements do not carry refining margins, throughput and inventory gains or losses; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹45.38 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹441.50 trades at 9.7 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.
No check fired. That is a statement about the checks below, not a verdict on the company.
Operating margin fell sharply on the year. Pricing, input costs, or mix?
