Financial Performance and Profitability Trends
NIIT's financial data over the last five years reveals a contraction in key metrics. Net sales have declined at an annual rate of approximately 15.74%, while operating profit has shown a reduction of 214.66% over the same period. The company has reported negative results for three consecutive quarters, underscoring the challenges faced in maintaining profitability.
For the nine months ended recently, profit after tax (PAT) stood at Rs.21.63 crore, reflecting a decline of 32.40%. Profit before tax (PBT) excluding other income for the quarter was Rs.-8.60 crore, down by 47.51%. The negative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) further highlight the financial strain.
Operational Efficiency and Working Capital
The debtor turnover ratio for the half-year period is reported at 0.64 times, indicating slower collection cycles relative to historical levels. This figure is among the lowest recorded, suggesting potential pressures on working capital management.
Despite these challenges, NIIT maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio, effectively at zero, which may provide some cushion in terms of financial leverage.

NIIT's stock is trading at levels considered risky when compared to its average historical valuations. Over the past year, the stock has generated a return of -58.05%, while profits have declined by 24.4%.
