New Delhi: JSW Steel on Friday reported an 85.50% year-on-year (YoY) slump in its consolidated net profit for the fiscal third quarter ended December (Q3FY23) to ₹474 crore. The steelmaker had reported a profit of ₹4,516 crore in the year-ago period.
Revenue from operations grew 2.79% YoY to ₹39,134 crore. Operating Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) was at ₹4,030 crore during the quarter under review, with a margin of 13%.
Total income during October-December rose to ₹39,322 crore from ₹38,225 crore a year ago. Expenses were also higher at ₹38,288 crore as against ₹31,986 crore.
The company’s financial performance during the quarter was better sequentially, primarily due to lower coking coal prices. Despite a challenging global economic scenario, healthy domestic steel demand should aid the company’s performance in the coming quarters.
