Voltas Reports Profit Turnaround in Q3 FY25:
Voltas reported a net profit of ₹132 crore for Q3 FY25, reversing the net loss of ₹30 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue grew by 18% year-on-year, reaching ₹3,105 crore, surpassing the previous year’s ₹2,626 crore.
While the company returned to profitability, its bottomline missed experts’ estimate of ₹155 crore. Revenue, however, exceeded expectations of ₹3,015 crore. The EBITDA margin for the quarter stood at 6.4%, falling short of the forecasted 7.1%.
The disappointing operational performance was driven by a decline in margins for Voltas’ Unitary Cooling Products (UCP) segment, which posted its lowest margin in 10 years at 5.9%. This caused investor sentiment to dip despite the overall profit growth.
