NEW DELHI – Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corp. Ltd.'s net profit for the June quarter on a standalone basis was flat year-on-year. Total expenses grew much faster than the top line for the three months, but a healthy on-year rise in other income and almost no change in the tax outgo lent support to the bottom line.

 

The company's net profit for the quarter declined 0.2% on year to INR 3.30 billion from INR 3.31 billion in the year-ago quarter. Revenue from operations grew over 18% on year to INR 13.70 billion from INR 11.60 billion in the year-ago quarter. This marked the 21st quarter of an on-year rise in net sales, and the pace of growth was faster than in the preceeding quarter. 

 

Dolat Capital Market Pvt. Ltd. had estimated the company's net profit at INR 3.26 billion and revenue from operations at INR 13.01 billion for the reporting quarter. Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt. Ltd. had pegged the bottom line at INR 3.51 billion and the top line at INR 12.71 billion. Estimates from only two brokerages were available with Informist.

 

The other income of the company grew over 17% on year to INR 713 million. Total expenses jumped over 28% on year to almost INR 10 billion. This was the 20th quarter of an on-year rise in total expenses, and the pace of growth was the highest in 12 quarters. Expenses tied to purchase of stock-in-trade grew over 56% on year to INR 696 million, and those related to employee benefits were up nearly 38% on year at INR 1.04 billion.

 

Expenses tied to catering services, which accounted for nearly 56% of the total expenses, surged almost 33% on year to INR 5.57 billion. Expenses related to tourism grew more than 8% on year to INR 1.22 billion. 

 

Among segments, revenue from the catering business grew nearly 34% to INR 7.32 billion from INR 5.47 billion in the year-ago quarter. Revenue from the internet ticketing business was INR 3.61 billion, as against INR 3.59 billion in the year-ago quarter. Tourism revenue for the quarter was INR 1.68 billion, as against INR 1.48 billion in the year-ago quarter. The revenue from Rail Neer was INR 1.14 billion, against INR 1.10 billion in the year-ago quarter.
