Mumbai, May 07: Gateway Distriparks Limited reported its standalone financial results for the quarter, highlighting a mixed performance with steady operational metrics and improved profitability indicators despite marginal softness in revenue.
The company recorded revenue of ₹3.9 billion, reflecting a slight decline year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to moderated volumes across segments. EBITDA stood at ₹917 million, registering healthy growth on a year-on-year basis, supported by improved operational efficiencies and cost optimization measures.
EBITDA margin expanded significantly to 23.8%, demonstrating strong control over operating expenses and improved business mix. Depreciation remained stable, while finance costs declined sharply year-on-year, reflecting continued deleveraging and efficient capital management.
Other income declined year-on-year but showed improvement sequentially, aided by proceeds from the sale of an old warehouse asset. The company reported a marginal increase in tax expenses during the quarter, resulting in a stable profit after tax compared to the same period last year, though lower sequentially due to higher tax outgo.
Operational Performance
The Rail Vertical reported throughput of 96,776 TEUs, showing moderate year-on-year growth but a sequential decline. The Container Freight Station (CFS) segment handled 91,403 TEUs, remaining largely stable on a year-on-year basis with modest sequential improvement.
Management Commentary
The management highlighted continued focus on operational efficiency, cost discipline, and network optimization across its logistics verticals. Margin expansion during the period reflects sustained efforts toward productivity enhancement and improved asset utilization.
The company also emphasized its commitment to strengthening integrated logistics capabilities and enhancing service reliability across its rail and CFS operations.
Outlook
Gateway Distriparks continues to focus on improving profitability through efficiency gains and network expansion in the logistics sector. While revenue growth remains moderate, the company’s margin profile and financial discipline indicate steady progress toward sustainable performance improvement.
