Consolidated Results

The company said the results for the quarter under review impacted due to an additional provision for doubtful debts for prior items and an unforeseen for tax liability for its American subsidiary, as declared earlier this month.
For the twelve-month period, the company posted consolidated net profit of Rs.59.16 crore, compared with Rs.57.52 crore for the comparable period a year ago, reflecting a three percent growth.

Managing Director and CEO Manu Parpia said, "We have seen a healthy top-line growth this year, in fact higher than our guidance. This year we came under the full tax regime, despite which, we have improved our EPS for the year. We have seen volume growth from emerging verticals, and I see this area as a significant opportunity we can tap into over the coming years. We also continue to see healthy demand for our offerings."
At the BSE, Geometric shares are currently trading at Rs.73.85, down 3.15 percent from the previous close.
