Hindalco Q3 Results: Net Profit Rises 90% To Rs 2,021 Crore In December Quarter
Hindalco Industries Q3 Results: Aditya Birla group company Hindalco Industries posted a net profit of Rs 2,021 crore in the third quarter of the current financial year compared to Rs 1,785 crore in the year-ago period, driven by strong domestic business and operational efficiencies. The company's revenue from operations stood at Rs 34,958 crore in the October-December quarter. According to the company's regulatory filing to the BSE, the company witnessed a profit of Rs 495 crore in domestic business, up 90 per cent year-on-year. The consolidated business earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) stood at Rs 5,242 crore, up 40 per cent year-on-year, according to Hindalco's statement.Â
According to the aluminium major, the copper sales for the quarter stood at 73 kt, lower than the sales in the year-ago period, which were at 84 kt, due to a planned maintenance shutdown. The aluminium sales stood at 315 kt against 328 kt in the year-ago quarter.
“Our Q3 results flag a return to business at pre-COVID levels with resurgent demand globally. Novelis achieved record shipments, driven by strong demand across product end markets. The India business delivered an excellent performance, with aluminium value-added products continuing to record higher volumes. Along with market performance, we have strengthened our balance sheet which shows in a significant improvement in the consolidated net debt to EBITDA ratio,'' said Satish Pai, Managing Director, Hindalco Industries Limited.
''Our performance is a reflection of our sustainability-led approach to business. Hindalco has been recognised as the world's most sustainable aluminium company in the 2020 DJSI CSA ranking,'' he added.
