2. Performance of the Private Corporate Business Sector during the first half of 2011-12
The article analyses the abridged results relating to 2,643 non-government non-financial (NGNF) listed companies and provides, inter alia, a brief analysis by size and industry.
Main Findings:
Overall performance of 2,643 select NGNF companies showed some moderation during April-September 2011 wherein the sales grew by 20.8 per cent vis-a-vis 21.5 per cent during April-September 2010. However, growth in profits declined sharply as compared with the corresponding period of previous year largely on account of higher input costs and significant increase in interest payments.
Profitability in terms of operating, gross and net margins contracted by 200, 140 and 190 basis points, respectively in the first half of 2011-12 over the corresponding period of the previous year. Interest burden increased by 5.0 percentage points due to a faster increase in interest outgo in comparison with gross profits.
Bigger companies recorded higher sales growth and also relatively higher growth in operating profits, whereas smallest size classes witnessed a decline in sales and in operating profits.
Sales growth was higher for companies engaged in manufacturing activities as compared with those engaged in computer & related activities and services other than IT. However, companies in IT services recorded the highest growth of 19.6 per cent in net profits with considerable support from other income. Profitability of manufacturing and services sector was impacted on account of higher input prices and interest outflow.
Industry-wise analysis revealed that sales growth was quite healthy in most of the industries except in mining and quarrying, sugar, radio, television and communication equipments and real estate industries. However, profit performance (growth in PBDIT and PAT) of various industries was mixed.
