The company’s profit after tax for the nine-month period stands at ₹16.10 crores, indicating a higher absolute figure compared to previous periods. However, certain operational metrics reveal areas of concern. The operating profit to interest ratio for the quarter is at its lowest at 1.91 times, signalling tighter coverage of interest expenses. Additionally, the debt-equity ratio for the half-year has reached 1.47 times, the highest recorded, which may suggest increased leverage. The debtors turnover ratio has also declined to 5.73 times, indicating a slower collection cycle relative to historical levels.

Examining profitability, the profit before tax excluding other income for the quarter is at ₹3.43 crores, the lowest in recent periods.

These factors collectively contribute to the adjustment in the company’s financial trend parameter.
