NEW DELHI – ABB India Ltd.'s net profit saw a substantial year-on-year jump in the March quarter, helped by a large contribution from discontinued operations. Its revenue for the quarter rose only around 6% on year, falling short of analysts' consensus estimate by a wide margin. The company's net profit from continuing operations was also far below the Street's expectation.
Moreover, the company's bottom line for Jan-Mar rose year-on-year after three consecutive quarters of decline, and its top line growth was higher than in the December quarter.
ABB India reported a standalone net profit of INR 17.84 billion for the March quarter, up nearly 276% on year and 312% on quarter. Barring a contribution of INR 14.42 billion from discontinued operations, the company's bottom line for the quarter was INR 3.42 billion. Analysts had expected the company to report a net profit of INR 5.40 billion for the quarter.
The power equipment manufacturer's revenue for the reporting quarter declined 6% on a sequential basis to INR 31.62 billion. Analysts had pegged the company's top line for the quarter at INR 34.35 billion.
The company's revenue from its electrification segment, which comprises a majority of its overall top line, grew over 15% on year to INR 15.64 billion, and that from the motion segment rose nearly 6% on year to INR 11.61 billion.
"Electrification and Motion delivered strong order growth, benefitting from India's sustained industrial activity. Automation performance was softer, reflecting limited opportunities in select core segments..... The quarter witnessed growth in opportunities from emerging industries like data centers, and renewable energy, while orders from railways and metros, core industries like metals and mining, energy and chemicals as well as food and beverage saw limited growth on a higher base," the company said in its investor presentation.
ABB India's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation from continuing operations fell to INR 4.08 billion in Jan-Mar from INR 5.60 billion a year ago, while EBITDA margin narrowed to 12.8% from 18.6%. The company said its order backlog stood at INR 110.94 billion as of Mar. 31, up 17% on year. ABB India also received total orders worth INR 42.80 billion during the quarter, marking a 25% rise from a year ago.
Alongside the earnings, the company has appointed current chief financial officer T.K. Sridhar as managing director for a five-year term starting Jan. 1, 2027. The company also appointed Managing Director Sanjeev Sharma as a non-executive, non-independent director for two years from Jan. 1, 2027, after the end of his current term on Dec. 31, 2026.
The company announced its results post-market hours. Friday, shares of the company ended at INR 7,012.50 on the National Stock Exchange, down 2.4% from the previous close. End
