The company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 84.19 crore in the corresponding period last fiscal, Arvind Ltd said in a regulatory filing
New Delhi: Textile manufacturer Arvind Ltd. reported a 25.44% decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 62.77 crore in the second quarter ended September 30, 2024, impacted by higher expenses and a one-time hit due to a rise in provision for deferred tax.
The company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 84.19 crore in the corresponding period last fiscal, Arvind Ltd said in a regulatory filing.
Consolidated revenue from operations in the second quarter stood at Rs 2,188.31 crore, as against Rs 1,921.73 crore in the year-ago period, it added.
Total expenses were higher at Rs 2,065.57 crore in the quarter under review, as compared to Rs 1,821.72 crore in the same period a year ago, the company said.
The company said it made a provision of Rs 29.35 crore as a cumulative one-time impact while computing the profit after tax for the period ended September 30, 2024, following the change in long-term capital gains tax.
The company said in the second quarter it recovered from the challenges of quarter one and made progress on its growth path.
“All plants operated normally, contributing to a strong performance. Despite ongoing geopolitical issues and pessimistic macroeconomic forecasts creating uncertainty, the company’s operating performance this quarter showed promising signs,” it said.
Volume gains were reported across all segments, including fabric and garments, supported by stable raw material costs and a favourable product mix.
While textile division revenue grew by 12%, the highest in nine quarters, and reached Rs 1,633 crore, the advanced material division clocked a revenue of Rs 388 crore, up 9%, it said.
On the outlook, the company said it expects to maintain the healthy performance momentum of quarter two going forward.
