What boards and CFOs should note
Three points stand out for finance teams. First, revenue growth of 25.51% was about ten times profit growth of 2.42%, which is why the margin fell by 2.5 percentage points. Second, profit was flat against the June quarter. Third, because the source does not state whether the figures are consolidated or standalone, the exchange filing is the document to check.
