Profitability
Ucal Ltd experienced a challenging quarter in terms of profitability. The company reported a loss before tax of ₹4.50 crores in Q4FY25, a stark contrast to a profit before tax of ₹7.80 crores in the previous quarter (Q3FY25). The year-over-year comparison shows a slight improvement from a loss of ₹7.85 crores in Q4FY24. The tax expenses significantly increased to ₹13.54 crores in Q4FY25, compared to ₹1.47 crores in Q3FY25 and a tax benefit of ₹1.26 crores in Q4FY24. As a result, the profit after tax stood at a loss of ₹18.05 crores for Q4FY25, a substantial decline from a profit of ₹6.32 crores in Q3FY25 and a deeper loss compared to ₹6.59 crores in Q4FY24. The earnings per share also reflected this downturn, with a negative ₹8.20, compared to ₹2.90 in the prior quarter and negative ₹3.00 in the same quarter last year.
Operating Metrics
The total expenses for Ucal Ltd in Q4FY25 amounted to ₹185.36 crores, a 12.1% reduction from the previous quarter's expenses of ₹210.93 crores. Year-over-year, expenses decreased by 5.5% from ₹196.21 crores in Q4FY24. This reduction in expenses, despite the decline in income, highlights the company's potential cost management efforts during this period. However, the decrease in expenses was not sufficient to counteract the significant drop in income and the increased tax burden, leading to a negative impact on overall profitability.
