Annual results: India inc.

India Inc. report card FY 2012

Events in the global arena kept india inc. in distress throughout the year. Gloomy macroeconomic conditions on the domestic front further added to their woes. though corporate India managed to save their topline during the past financial year, increased input costs played spoilsport for them as the bottomline shrank by over 8%, as suggested by the aggregate financials of 275 BSE 500 companies, which announced results by May 18, 2012.

Tough year on all fronts

Aggregate yoy revenue growth for BSE 500 companies (275 companies that announced their results by May 18) in FY 2012 remained at a healthy 23.9% with a marginal improvement over last year’s 23.03%. However, increased input costs have hit margins. Aggregate net profit after tax shrank by 8.79% for the above-mentioned period as compared to a superb growth of 24.39% in the previous year. With global markets still under pressure and the European epidemic getting worse by the day, the current fiscal, too, looks quite challenging and the key issue for India Inc. would be to keep their costs under check to safeguard their margins. Nevertheless, corporate India may soon get a breather from raw material costs as analysts expect commodity prices to settle down in the near future.

Banks post strong growth

The banking sector managed to achieve a 34.4% growth in revenues yoy, the highest among the sectors picked. Revenues for BSE IT companies increased by 25.58% yoy as compared to 19.73% recorded in the previous fiscal. However, a look at public sector companies shows a starkly contrasting picture. The aggregate revenues of all PSUs, which are part of the BSE PSU index, grew by 22.92% yoy in FY 2012 as compared to a growth of 25.87% in FY 2010-11. Both Banking and IT sectors surpassed the aggregate of Sensex constituents, which posted a revenue growth of 23.8% for the last fiscal. Going forward, considering the demand situation in India, analysts expect the situation with revenues to remain optimistic, but margins may continue to be stressed.
