Kalpataru Power Transmission's first quarter standalone net profit is expected to be flat at Rs 41.9 crore year-on-year, according to a CNBC-TV18 poll. Profit may be dented by lower revenue and operating income but may be supported by margin expansion.
Revenue in June quarter is seen falling 5.2 percent to Rs 1,008 crore on subdued order book and lower order inflows seen in H1FY15. The base in Q1FY15 was high.
Operating profit may decline 0.4 percent to Rs 105.9 crore compared to same quarter last year. However, margin may expand 50 basis points to 10.5 percent due to lower losses in infra business. Order inflow is expected to be closely watched as the company may have managed to bag orders worth Rs 1,800 crore in Q1FY16.
After Q4FY15 earnings, Kalpataru said it was confident of achieving order inflow of Rs 5,000-6,000 crore for FY16 and expects sales growth of 10-15 percent & margin of 10-11 percent in FY16.
