MUMBAI – Despite nearly doubling on year, KEC International Ltd.'s consolidated net profit missed Street expectation for the September quarter. The company also registered signficant on-year growth in its consolidated revenue as margins rose.
KEC International reported a consolidated net profit of INR 1.61 billion in the quarter ended September, up more than 88% on year, but lower than analysts' expectation of INR 1.71 billion.

"We have delivered another quarter of strong performance, marked by robust revenue growth, significant improvement in profitability and healthy order intake," Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Vimal Kejriwal said in a release. The consolidated order intake rose 20% on year to INR 160.5 billion in Apr-Sept, while the order book at end-September was INR 393.25 billion.
KEC International's total expenditure rose 17.5% on year to INR 58.83 billion in the September quarter, mainly because of a sharp rise in raw material cost. The company registered a 37% on-year increase in its cost of materials consumer during the quarter to INR 31.11 billion.
For Apr-Sept, the company registered a net profit of INR 2.85 billion on revenues of INR 111.14 billion. Its net profit for the period rose around 65% on year while revenue from operations grew over 15% on year.
