Tata Power: Coal mining charge dents profits
(Feb 26, 2010)
Consolidated sales fall by 6% YoY during 3QFY10, grow 2% YoY during 9mFY10. Lower sales in both the power and coal businesses lead to the weak performance during the quarter.
Operating margins fall substantially to 12.6% in 3QFY10. This is due mainly to a one-time expense of Rs 350 m for the coal mining business on account of change in some contractual arrangements related to mining costs. Excluding this cost, operating margins during the quarter are almost same as 3QFY09 level.
On the back of a 47% YoY decline in operating profits, and higher depreciation, net profits decline by 81% YoY during 3QFY10. Profits down 22% YoY during 9mFY10.
