Standalone (S/A) adj. PAT (management stated) grew by a healthy 14% YoY to ~INR106b in FY19 even as regulated equity grew by ~6% YoY (to ~INR540b). The strong performance was led by sharp reduction in under-recoveries on fixed charge (from ~INR14b in FY18 to ~INR8b in FY19) and increase in late payment surcharge income. Reported PAT was higher at INR117.4b (13% YoY) in FY19 on tax related adjustments (~INR17b), offset partly by certain one-time expenses.
- Consolidated reported PAT grew 20% YoY to INR126.4b in FY19. Besides the healthy performance in S/A, improving performance in subsidiaries/JVs (PAT improving from INR2b in FY18 to INR8.9b in FY19) aided such a strong growth.
- For 4QFY19, S/A adj. PAT (management stated) grew ~48% YoY to INR34.2b. The growth was led by lower under-recoveries on fixed charges (from a drag of ~INR5b in previous year quarter to an over-recovery of ~INR3b in 4QFY19) and increase in late payment surcharge income. Excluding the late payment surcharge the PAT was lower than expected, probably due to some full year related billing adjustments. Reported PAT was higher at INR43.5b (49% YoY) in 4QFY19 on tax related adjustments (~INR17b), offset partly by certain one-time expenses.
