The key highlights of the Company''s performance
is as under:
Financial Overview (Consolidated
Performance)
Our revenues were decreased by 57.20% at
H73,496 lakhs during the year compared to
H1,71,738 lakh in the previous year. Earnings before
Interest Taxes and Depreciation was decreased by
97.11% at H641 lakhs as compared to H22,223 lakhs.
EBITDA margins decreased from 12.94 % to 0.87
% during the year. Total Comprehensive Income
(post minority interest) decreased to H(3,890) lakhs
compared to H10,627 lakhs in the previous year.
Earnings per Share stood at H(4.51) as compared
to H14.02 last year.
The decline in the Company''s financial performance
during the year is primarily attributable to a
significant reduction in revenue, which decreased
by 57.20% to H73,496 lakhs from H1,71,738 lakhs
in the previous year wherein revenue could not
be recognized for certain projects due to non¬
receipt of Occupancy Certificates (OC) during
the year. As a result, despite progress in project
execution, the absence of OC led to deferment of
revenue recognition since the Company follows
the Completed Contract Method (CCM) of revenue
recognition. The lower revenue base, coupled
with ongoing fixed operating costs, resulted in the
Company reporting a decrease in EBITDA of H641
lakhs as compared to H22,223 lakhs in the previous
year, and EBITDA margins declined to 0.87% from
12.94%.
Consequently, Total Comprehensive Income

lakhs in the previous year. Earnings per Share

previous year.
