For Q3 of financial year 2017 Vardhaman Textiles’ consolidated revenue declined 0.3 per cent year on year. EBITDA for the quarter rose 15.4 per cent year on year with a corresponding margin expansion of 329 basis points. EBITDA margin for the quarter stood at 24.2 per cent. This was driven by adjustments in inventories.
PAT for the quarter saw a year on year increase of 31.9 per cent. This was partly driven by a decrease in effective tax rate to 28.5 per cent in the third quarter of financial year 2017 from 31.5 per cent in the third quarter of financial year 2016.
