Biocon Quarterly Results

On Monday, drug maker Biocon reported a 66% slump in consolidated net profit at Rs 469 million (about Rs 46.9 crore) for the quarter ended 30 September, 2022. The Kiran Muzumdar-Shaw-led company had posted a net profit of Rs 1,380 m in the year-ago period.

Sequentially, the company's profit slumped 67% from Rs 1,440 m in the June quarter.

The profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter under review was impacted by Biocon's decision to adopt the new tax regime notified u/s 115BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Consequently, the company has written off a Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) balance of Rs 1,070 m in the current financial results, which can no longer be carried forward, it said in a regulatory filing.

Revenue from operations increased 26% to Rs 23.2 bn in the said quarter as against Rs 18.4 bn in the same quarter last financial year.

Further, Biocon's core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was up by 34% at Rs 8,160 m, representing healthy core operating margins of 35% versus 33% in the same quarter last year.

SEBI Approves Adani's Stake Acquisition in NDTV

The Indian markets regulator on Monday approved Adani Group's open offer to buy an additional 26% stake in broadcaster New Delhi Television (NDTC), a takeover attempt that has raised concerns over eroding press freedom in the world's largest democracy.

The Gautam Adani led Adani group, had revised the offer's roll out date to 22 November. It will close on 5 December.

Adani's initial plan was to launch its open offer last month, but was delayed as it awaited the markets regulator's approval. The billionaire's ports-to-power conglomerate triggered a hostile takeover bid for the broadcaster after it acquired an indirect 29.2% stake back in August.

NDTV's founders - Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy - have opposed the takeover bid. They had claimed that both of them were completely unaware of the takeover and it was done without their consent.

Adani is now one step closer to gaining a larger footprint in India's media sector. To know more about the takeover read our editorial: Vikram-Betal: let me tell you a story...

Meanwhile, NDTV has reported an increase of 4.4% in consolidated net profit to Rs 130.3 m for the second quarter ended 30 September 2022. The company had posted a net profit of Rs 124.8 m during the July-September quarter a year ago.
