In the fourth quarter the company recorded a marked sequential improvement, with total income of Rs 32.91 bn compared with Rs 22.06 bn in the previous quarter, an increase of 49.2 per cent, while revenue from operations rose by 50.5 per cent to Rs 31.89 bn. Quarterly earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation improved to Rs 3.89 bn and profit after tax rose to Rs 1.92 bn, representing strong quarter on quarter growth despite being lower than the year earlier quarter.

On a standalone basis the company reported total income of Rs 89.79 bn for the year with revenue from operations of Rs 84.79 bn, and standalone profit after tax of Rs 6.19 bn. The board recommended a final dividend of Re zero point seven per equity share of Rs two face value, which is subject to shareholder approval, in addition to the interim dividend of Rs one point two per share already paid. The order book stood at Rs 249.84 bn, comprising Rs 194.59 bn in railways, Rs 39.19 bn in highways and Rs 16.06 bn in other projects.

The company said government infrastructure initiatives and enhanced capital allocation underpin a constructive sector outlook and that IRCON is positioned to leverage the opportunities in rail and road construction. Management indicated ongoing focus on execution, cost control and project mobilisation to restore full year momentum. Results reflect a mixed operating cycle with improving quarterly performance and headwinds at the annual level.
