In current quarter, Company has absorbed the impact of annual salary revision which is normally effective in the Company from first July. The impact of that is Rs. 2.83 crores. It also absorbed an exchange loss impact of Rs. 1.64 crores in this quarter which is due to quarter  end appreciation of rupee. If we take these two impact out, EBITDA margin in this quarter  has been 17.6%, which means about 100 basis Point expansion in the EBITDA margin quarter-on-quarter.

The company earned consolidated profit after tax of Rs. 49.40 crores which is an increase of 51% YoY but a decline of 15%  QoQ. PAT margin in this quarter has got affected because of Rs. 4.48 crores of tax on dividend distributed by CMC America which is the American subsidiary in this quarter. This quarter they distributed dividend of 5 million dollar. If we exclude this onetime tax adjustment on account of dividend distribution by CMC America, the PAT for the quarter is 53.88 crores, which gives  a PAT margin of 11.72% compared to 9%  in the corresponding period last year. Average effective tax rate excluding impact of one time dividend tax is 25.3% compared to 22.6% in the previous quarter. In the previous quarter, Company had higher income on investment in mutual funds because of maturity  of  certain FMPs which attracts concessional tax treatment.

Other income in this  quarter is  Rs.  1.53 crores compared to  Rs.  5.7 crores in Q1. This lower other income is primarily on account of FMP maturity in last quarter. The total implication of this is about 3.7 crores.

In this quarter ther focus has primarily been on improved utilization of people which gave  productivity improvement of 4% as compared to the previous quarter.
