Ritco Logistics has delivered a standout performance for the March 2025 quarter, posting its highest-ever quarterly revenue and robust profit growth, even as it navigates rising costs and market caution.
Key Highlights:
Record Revenue: Consolidated revenue from operations surged to ₹3.45 billion (₹345.41 crore), marking the highest quarterly sales in the last five quarters and a 36.7% year-on-year jump, reflecting Ritco’s expanding market footprint and operational efficiency.
Profit Growth: Consolidated net profit climbed to ₹119.7 million (₹11.97 crore), up 36.5% from the previous year, driven by peak operating profit and improved cost management. EBITDA for the quarter stood at ₹29.47 crore, up nearly 38% year-on-year.
Operational Excellence: Operating profit reached a record ₹25.68 crore, while profit before tax (PBT) hit ₹13.96 crore, both setting new company benchmarks for quarterly performance.
Financial Challenges: Despite the strong top-line and bottom-line growth, interest expenses rose to ₹6.43 crore, highlighting increased borrowing costs. Non-operating income contributed ₹2.14 crore, though this may not be a sustainable revenue stream going forward.
Market Sentiment: Shares have delivered a 7.45% return over the past year, but remain down nearly 29% over the last six months, with limited mutual fund participation reflecting some investor caution.
Valuation and Outlook: Ritco maintains an attractive valuation with a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 12.7 and continues to demonstrate consistent financial growth over eight consecutive quarters.
Ritco Logistics’ Q4 results showcase a company in growth mode, balancing record operational gains with prudent financial management as it steers through a dynamic logistics landscape.
