Ceigall India Approves Merger of Subsidiary with C&C Construc

2025-05-20

Ceigall India, a notable entity in the Indian infrastructure sector, has released its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2023 (Q4 FY23), reflecting a mixed performance. While the company recorded a rise in revenue, it faced a decline in net profit and EBITDA, pointing to operational challenges.

Revenue Growth

The company reported a revenue of Rs 10.00 billion for Q4 FY23, an increase from ₹9.40 billion in the same period the previous year. This reflects a year-on-year growth of 6.38%, underlining Ceigall India's ability to expand its top line despite a challenging economic landscape.

Decline in Profitability

Despite the uptick in revenue, Ceigall India's consolidated net profit declined to Rs 744.00 million in Q4 FY23, down from Rs 1,100 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal. This represents a sharp year-over-year drop of 32.36 per cent, signalling pressure on the company's bottom line.

EBITDA and Margin Contraction

The company's EBITDA also experienced a decline, falling from Rs 1,600.00 million in Q4 FY22 to Rs 1,300.00 million in Q4 FY23. The EBITDA margin contracted from 17.40 per cent to 12.64 per cent over the same period, indicating a reduction in operational efficiency and increased cost pressures.

Quarter-on-Quarter Comparison

On a sequential basis, Ceigall India reported a slight improvement in net profit. The Q4 FY23 net profit of Rs 744.00 million showed a marginal rise of 1.64 per cent compared to Rs 732.00 million reported in the third quarter of FY23.

Performance Summary and Outlook

The overall financial performance for Q4 FY23 reflects Ceigall India's resilience in driving revenue growth. However, the notable declines in net profit, EBITDA, and operating margins suggest that the company may be grappling with rising costs or other operational inefficiencies.

Company officials noted that these results offer a nuanced picture of growth and challenges. They indicated that management is likely to address the contributing factors to the dip in profitability in forthcoming communications and may outline strategies to enhance efficiency and restore margin strength while sustaining revenue momentum.
