Shares of Triveni Turbine Ltd. are down over 5% on Tuesday, August 11, in reaction to their June quarter results that were reported after market hours on Monday. The stock is the top loser on the Nifty 500 index.

The company has said that geopolitical uncertainties in West Asia could cause near-term fluctuations but they are confident of sustaining their year-on-year business growth outlook and see a recovery in margins during the second half of the financial year.

For the June quarter, Triveni Turbine reported a 19% growth in its topline to ₹442.7 crore from ₹371.3 crore last year.

Its Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) for the quarter declined by 30% from last year to ₹51.3 crore from ₹73.6 crore in the year-ago period.

EBITDA margins for the company saw a sharp contraction to 11.6% from 19.8% last year. Net profit also fell by 20% year-on-year to ₹51.1 crore. Margins during the quarter were impacted by an unfavourable product mix, price escalation, and the delivery phasing of some strategic orders.

Order inflow at the end of the quarter stood at ₹5,683 crore, an increase of 6% from last year.
