MUMBAI – IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd. on Wednesday reported a sharp year-on-year rise in its net profit for the March quarter on the back of a fall in the company's expenses. The company's net profit and revenue for the quarter beat the Street's expectations. 

 

IRB Infrastructure's net profit for the March quarter rose 38% on year to INR 2.96 billion. Analysts had expected the company's profit for the reporting quarter to be INR 2.48 billion. The company's March quarter revenue fell by over 10% on-year to INR 19.27 billion. Analysts had expected revenue to be INR 18.57 billion. Revenue from services, the company's largest source of sales, accounted for 79% of the company's top line, at INR 15.26 billion. 

 

The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation for the reporting quarter rose by around 5.6% on-year to INR 1.13 billion.

 

Total expenses of the company fell by over 17% on year to INR 15.71 billion. Road work and site expenses for the company fell by over 15% on-year, while finance costs declined 11%.

IRB Infrastructure Developers will continue to act as the project manager for IRB Infrastructure Developers Trust's 12 special-purpose vehicles, the company said.

 

All the company's projects were now generating revenue with the operationalisation of the Ganga Expressway and expected to report strong profit growth driven by toll revenues, the company said, quoting its Chairman and Managing Director  Virendra Mhaiskar.
