Financial Performance and Profitability Trends
Examining the company’s financials reveals a subdued growth trajectory over the past five years. Net sales have shown an annual growth rate of 12.75%, while operating profit has moved at a rate of 13.97% annually. Despite these figures, the company has reported negative results for three consecutive quarters, with Profit Before Tax excluding other income (PBT LESS OI) at Rs.1.47 crore, reflecting a decline of 45.96%. Similarly, Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at Rs.1.45 crore, down by 45.5%.
The return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year period is recorded at 19.19%, which is the lowest in recent assessments. This figure suggests a tightening in the efficiency of capital utilisation compared to previous periods.
Balance Sheet and Valuation Metrics
Pee Cee Cosma Sope maintains a relatively low average debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16 times, indicating limited leverage on its balance sheet.
