MUMBAI – Kalpataru Projects International Ltd. Thursday reported a sharp on-year jump in its net profit for the June quarter as the increase in revenue outstripped the rise in expenses. The company comfortably beat the Street estimates for revenue and net profit during the quarter. Expenses rose sharply during the quarter, primarily due to sharp increases in costs on erection and sub-contracting, raw material, and employees, and other expenses.

The engineering and construction company reported a net profit of INR 2.01 billion for the June quarter, up 72% on year but down 17% over the trailing quarter. The net profit was sharply higher than the analysts' estimate of INR 1.54 billion for the quarter. Kalpataru reported revenues of INR 50.40 billion for the reporting quarter, up 35% on year but down 19% on quarter. Analysts had expected the company to report a top line of INR 46.52 billion.

Kalpataru's total expenditure for the June quarter was INR 47.89 billion, up 34% on year, driven by a 55% on-year rise in the erection and sub-contracting costs to INR 21.73 billion. The cost of materials consumed rose 16% on year to INR 17.41 billion while employee costs increased nearly 37% on year to INR 4.27 billion.

The company posted an earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation of INR 4.28 billion for the June quarter, up 37% on year. Its EBITDA margin was 8.5%. The company said it had secured orders of INR 4.56 billion in the buildings and factories business, taking the total order book to INR 654.75 billion, up 14% on year. The company said its net debt at the end of June was INR 19.40 billion, down 33% on year.
