This represents an 11.1% increase on a quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) basis from ₹75.49 crores in the third quarter of FY25. However, there was a 5.0% decline compared to the fourth quarter of FY24, where the total income was ₹88.32 crores. This quarterly revenue growth contrasts with the year-over-year (YoY) decline, indicating variations in income streams within this period.
Profitability
The company's profitability metrics indicate significant changes over the periods in question. Profit Before Tax (PBT) for Q4FY25 was ₹4.80 crores, reflecting a notable 123.3% increase QoQ from ₹2.15 crores in Q3FY25. Year-over-year, there was a decline of 27.3% from ₹6.60 crores in Q4FY24. Tax expenses for Q4FY25 were ₹0.50 crores, which is an 11.1% increase QoQ but a 29.6% decrease YoY. The Profit After Tax (PAT) for Q4FY25 stood at ₹4.29 crores, marking a substantial 152.4% QoQ increase from ₹1.70 crores in Q3FY25. However, this figure is 27.2% lower YoY compared to ₹5.89 crores in Q4FY24. Earnings Per Share (EPS) rose to ₹0.40 in Q4FY25, up 300.0% QoQ from ₹0.10 in Q3FY25, though it decreased by 20.0% YoY from ₹0.50 in Q4FY24.
Operating Metrics
Orient Ceratech Ltd's operating metrics reveal both improvements and declines across different comparative periods. Total expenses for Q4FY25 were ₹79.10 crores, up 7.8% QoQ from ₹73.35 crores in Q3FY25, yet down 3.2% YoY from ₹81.73 crores in Q4FY24. The QoQ increase in expenses was accompanied by a larger increase in total income, leading to an enhanced profit margin for the quarter. Despite the rise in expenses, the company managed to achieve a significant increase in profitability on a QoQ basis, as evidenced by the substantial growth in both PBT and PAT. The year-over-year metrics, however, highlight a decline in profitability despite reduced expenses, which may point to varying factors affecting operational efficiency or revenue generation over the fiscal year.
