However, the company's expenses more than doubled to Rs 14,083.1 crores. The company said that higher fuel prices alongside the depreciated value of the rupee wiped out all the gains from the 222% increase in flyers during the quarter, leading to the reported loss. Excluding the foreign currency loss of Rs 1,424.6 crores, the company had a net profit of Rs 360.3 crores.
The company reported a positive EBITDA of Rs 716.9 crores with an EBITDA margin of 5.6%, substantially better than the negative margin of 45.2% reported last year in the relevant quarter.
“Our revenue performance this quarter was impressive. We reported the highest ever revenue generated by the company and thereby produced profits at an operational level. However, cost pressures on fuel and foreign exchange prevented us from translating this strong revenue performance into net profitability. While our financial performance in the second quarter will be challenged by weak seasonality, the long-term revenue trend remains strong.” said CEO Ronojoy Dutta.
