Adani Enterprises’ Q2 Earnings Witness a 50.6% Decline in Net Profit
Adani Enterprises reported a significant downturn in its Q2 financial performance. The consolidated net profit plummeted by 50.6% year-on-year, reaching ₹227.82 crore. This drop was primarily attributed to the challenges faced within its core coal trading division.
Revenue Slumps by 41%
The company’s revenue during this period was reported at ₹22,517.3 crore, reflecting a substantial 41% decline compared to ₹38,175.23 crore in the same quarter the previous year. Weak performance in the coal trading segment appeared to be a major factor influencing the decline in revenue.
EBITDA Shows Promise Despite Challenges
However, amidst the decline in net profit and revenue, the company’s EBITDA demonstrated a positive trend. It saw a significant 39% rise, reaching ₹2,979 crore. This increase was primarily driven by the strength of Adani Enterprises’ incubating businesses across various sectors.
