DEN Networks Q1 Net Profit Rises 6.8% to ₹45.5 Crore Despite Revenue Dip

DEN Networks Q1 Net Profit Rises 6.8% to ₹45.5 Crore Despite Revenue Dip

Cable TV services provider DEN Networks Ltd reported a 6.8% year-on-year increase in net profit for the first quarter that ended on June 30, 2024. The company’s net profit rose to ₹45.5 crore from ₹42.6 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, as stated in a regulatory filing on Monday, July 15.

Despite the increase in net profit, DEN Networks faced a decline in its revenue from operations. The company’s revenue dropped by 9.4% to ₹247.5 crore, compared to ₹273.2 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

At the operating level, the company saw a decrease in its EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). EBITDA fell by 9.1% to ₹28.1 crore in the first quarter of this fiscal year, down from ₹30.9 crore in Q1 of FY24.

The financial results highlight a mixed performance for DEN Networks, with net profit growth despite declining revenue and operating income.

Jio Financial Services Q1 Results

Jio Financial Services Q1 Results

Jio Financial Services reported its financial results for the June quarter on Monday, revealing a 6% year-on-year decline in net profit. The company posted a net profit of Rs 313 crore for the quarter, down from Rs 332 crore in the same period of the previous financial year.

Despite the decrease in net profit, the company’s total revenue from operations for the quarter increased slightly. Revenue stood at Rs 418 crore, representing a 0.9% increase from Rs 414 crore reported in the corresponding period last year.

A significant factor in the financial performance was the decline in interest income. For the reported quarter, interest income was Rs 162 crore. This marked a notable decrease from Rs 281 crore in the fourth quarter of FY24 (Q4FY24) and Rs 202 crore in the first quarter of FY24 (Q1FY24). The reduction in interest income could be indicative of changes in the company’s lending activities, interest rate environment, or other financial conditions impacting its earnings from interest-bearing assets.

On a sequential basis, comparing the reported quarter to the previous quarter, profit after tax (PAT) saw a marginal increase. PAT for the June quarter was up by 0.64%, rising to Rs 313 crore from Rs 311 crore in the preceding quarter. This slight improvement suggests some stabilization or recovery in the company’s profitability on a quarter-over-quarter basis, despite the year-on-year decline.

Overall, the financial results for Jio Financial Services highlight a mixed performance, with growth in operational revenue and a minor sequential increase in net profit, but significant challenges reflected in the decreased interest income and year-on-year decline in net profit. The company may need to address these challenges to achieve more robust growth in the future.

NSE Tightens Collateral Rules:

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India is making it harder for traders to use certain stocks as collateral for margin requirements in intraday or derivatives (Futures & Options) trading. This means that from August 1, 2024, many stocks that traders currently pledge to meet margin requirements will no longer be eligible.

Here’s a simpler breakdown:

  1. New Rules: NSE’s clearing arm will only accept stocks that have been actively traded 99% of the time over the past six months and have low transaction costs.

  2. Big Change: Over 1,000 stocks will be removed from the list of acceptable collateral, out of the current 1,730 eligible ones. This leaves traders with fewer options to pledge.

  3. Impact: Some big companies like Adani Power, Yes Bank, Suzlon, and Paytm are among those whose stocks will be affected. Even though these companies have high market capitalizations, their stocks won’t meet the new criteria.

  4. Why: The aim is to only allow stocks that are easy to trade and have low costs associated with trading them.

  5. Effect on Traders: The total value of stocks currently used as collateral is about Rs 73,500 crore. The real impact of these changes will depend on whether brokers will still accept the disqualified stocks as collateral.

NSE will release a final list of acceptable stocks in its monthly circular, giving traders a clearer picture of which stocks can still be used as collateral.
