Financial Performance of Sagility India
Sagility India reported a sharp 47.5% year-on-year decline in net profit to Rs 22.3 crore for the quarter ending June 2024, primarily driven by lower operating margins and a higher tax burden.
Despite this, the company saw a 9.6% increase in revenue, reaching Rs 1,223.3 crore. EBITDA for the quarter fell by 26.4% to Rs 193.9 crore, with margins contracting by 777 basis points to 15.85%.
For the full financial year 2024, Sagility’s net profit surged 59% to Rs 228.3 crore, aided by reduced finance costs and higher other income, even as operating margins faced pressure.
Annual revenue rose 12.7% to Rs 4,753.6 crore, and EBITDA increased by 5.9% to Rs 1,088 crore. However, EBITDA margins narrowed by 150 basis points to 22.9%, reflecting underlying cost challenges.
