Reliance Industries
(RIL) has posted a net profit of Rs 4440 crore, down 13.6%
year-on-year on the back of lower refining and petchem margins. Sales,
however grew 40.2% to Rs 87,480 crore.
While the company's gross refining margins declined to $6.8 per barrel from $9 per barrel and its petchem stood at 10.9% versus 11.5% year-on-year.
The numbers are in line with the CNBC-TV18 poll which had estimated RIL's profit to be at Rs 4510 and sales at Rs 81250 for the quarter.
Meanwhile, shares of the index heavyweight company closed the day at Rs 793.35, up 1.04% before it announced its results,
Commenting on the results, Mukesh D. Ambani, chairman and managing director, RIL said, "The global nature of our businesses and weakness in economic conditions resulted in reduced earnings in the quarter, particularly in our refining and petrochemicals businesses. Notwithstanding these challenges, RIL has delivered reasonably robust results with high operating leverage. Our focus remains on enhancing shareholder value by leveraging an exceptionally strong balance sheet, operating top decile assets and investing prudently in future growth engines."
Simultaneously, the company's board approves share buyback of Rs 10,440 cr at maximum price upto Rs 870/sh which is at 10% premium to today's closing price. RIL will buyback up to 12 cr shares or 3.6% equity via open-market. Analysts see this move as a cover for disappointing results..
