The company reported a consolidated total income of ₹941.8 crore (~$111.6 million) compared to ₹509.0 crore (~$60.3 million) in the same quarter last year and a consolidated profit after tax of ₹28.2 crore compared to ₹23.7 crore in the previous fiscal.

The Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) for Q2 FY25 was ₹82.4 crore (~$9.77 million), reflecting a 48 per cent YoY growth from ₹55.8 crore in Q2 FY24. The EBITDA margin for Q2 FY25 was 8.7 per cent, down by 222 basis points (bps) YoY from 11.0 per cent, Gokaldas stated in a press release.

“We reported healthy growth in total income both in the quarter and half year indicating a sustained growth momentum. Most of the growth during the quarter was contributed by Gokaldas Exports excluding Atraco & Matrix, as it is a seasonally lean period for both the acquired entities. On consolidated profitability front, muted volumes in the acquired entities, coupled with air freight cost in Gokaldas Exports and employee cost build up in anticipation of future volumes growth impacted the profitability in the quarter. We expect better volume pick up in both the acquired entities in upcoming quarters with sustained stable performance of the company going forward,” said Sivaramakrishnan Ganapathi, vice chairman and managing director of Gokaldas Exports.
