Schneider Electric reported flat -1.97% change in total revenues for the Dec-20 quarter on consolidated basis at Rs472.31cr. The company operations are in a single segment of products and systems for electricity distribution.


Hence the demand normally tends to be positively correlated to power sector investments. That had dipped in the Jun-20 and Sep-20 quarter but now is back to pre-COVID levels.


The consolidated Profit after tax (PAT) for the Dec-20 quarter was up 11.02% at Rs33.34cr. The company benefited from a fall in manpower costs and also in interest costs during the quarter.


As a result, the PAT margins improved from 6.23% in Dec-19 to 7.06% in Dec-20. However, it must be remembered that the company has an accumulated loss of Rs.349 crore in its books due to past losses and its business is currently under restructuring.
