Q4FY21 Earnings Summary
- Revenues grew strong 27% YoY (11% QoQ) to Rs. 797 crore (I-direct estimate: Rs. 705 crore). Seaways segment reported strong growth both sequentially (up 25% QoQ) and YoY (up 24% YoY), followed by the Freight division (up 18% QoQ and up 20% YoY) and SCM division (flat QoQ and up 41% YoY, due to low base in Q4FY20)
- EBITDA margins expanded 147 bps YoY to 10.7%, and came above I-direct estimate of 9.1%, mainly due to a combination of higher gross margins (19.5% vs 19% in Q4FY20), lower employee to sales ratio (5.3% vs 6% in Q4FY20) and lower other expense ratio. The resultant EBITDA grew 48% YoY to Rs. 86 crore, and came above I-direct estimate of Rs. 64 crore
- Further, PAT grew by 69% YoY to Rs. 53 crore (exceptional expense of Rs. 3.5 crore due to impairment in wind power plant and investment in a subsidiary, impacted profitability to certain extent), and came above our estimate of Rs. 37 crore
As per the management, in-spite of the challenges posed by the pandemic, the company was able to sustain its revenues and margins due to its diversified portfolio of value-added services, spread across varied customers & industry sectors.
