Software profits sparkle, shares drag
MUMBAI, NOV 6: Software firms have reinforced their reputation for high growth with average earnings soaring more than 100 per cent for the second quarter of 2000/01 (April-March).
But the results showed a dichotomy between large andmid-sized firms, he said, with EBITDA margins of the large firms growing by 5.5 per cent over the year-ago quarter and smaller firms’ margins rising to 22.5 per cent from 22.1 per cent. Other income from gains in foreign exchange fluctuations was higher for many firms which earn a majority of their revenue from overseas. The rupee depreciated by three per cent versus the dollar over the quarter, and by 5.3 per cent since March 31.
