Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹449 cr, a margin of 26.6%, +744 bps on the year and +467 bps on the quarter. Operating costs grew −9.1% against revenue growth of +0.2%, so more of each rupee of sales reached operating profit.
Net profit was ₹301 cr, +49.0% on the year and +23.9% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹31.66. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew 44.7%, so 4 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business. The tax rate of 26% is in line with its recent average.
Early-stage defence and space businesses are lumpy and order-driven; one contract can make or break a quarter. The quarterly statements do not carry the order book and contract milestones; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹102.23 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹19,988.00 trades at 195.5 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.
