Profit Soars on Services Momentum
Tata Technologies Ltd. announced a significant surge in its third-quarter net profit, which leaped 270% to ₹616 crore compared to ₹165.5 crore in the preceding quarter. This substantial gain was primarily powered by the company's services segment, which posted a 4.7% sequential increase in revenue, reaching ₹1,060 crore. Overall revenue for the quarter rose by 3.3% to ₹1,366 crore.
Margin Headwinds and Outlook
Despite the profit jump, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) declined by 7% quarter-on-quarter to ₹193 crore. Consequently, the operating margin narrowed to 14.1% from 15.7% in the previous period. Warren Harris, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, expressed optimism, projecting a sequential revenue growth of over 10% in the fourth quarter, citing strong vertical performance and strategic deal wins.
Strategic Growth Drivers
Harris highlighted that structural changes, including portfolio diversification, reduced concentration risk, and the acquisition of Es-Tec, have fortified the company's growth engine. Chief Financial Officer Uttam Gujrati confirmed that Es-Tec integration is proceeding as planned and is already generating joint opportunities. The company anticipates overcoming Q3 margin headwinds and returning to, or exceeding, its Q2 adjusted margin run-rate, supported by disciplined workforce strategies and investments in future-ready skills.
