Today, the Reserve Bank released data on the performance of the private corporate sector during the fourth quarter of 2022-23 drawn from abridged quarterly financial results of 2,774 listed non-government non-financial companies. These include estimates for Q4:2021-22 and Q3:2022-23 to enable comparison (web-link https://dbie.rbi.org.in/DBIE/dbie.rbi?site=statistics#!2_42).

Highlights

Sales

  • Sales growth (y-o-y) of listed private non-financial companies moderated to 8.0 per cent in Q4:2022-23 from 12.7 per cent in the previous quarter and 22.3 per cent in Q4 of the previous year (Table 1A).

  • Aggregate sales growth (y-o-y) of 1,709 listed private manufacturing companies moderated from 10.6 per cent in Q3:2022-23 to 5.3 per cent in the latest quarter which, inter alia, included waning of price and base effects; the moderation was broad based across major industries, except for the high growth pharmaceutical sector (Tables 2A and 5A).

  • Information technology (IT) companies continued to perform well and recorded 16.0 per cent rise (y-o-y) in sales during the latest quarter (Table 2A).

  • Revenue growth for non-IT services companies remained healthy, supported by steady performance in trade and transport sectors (Tables 2A and 5A).

Expenditure

  • Staff cost rose by 11.3 per cent, 18.2 per cent and 15.4 per cent, on y-o-y basis, for manufacturing, IT and non-IT services companies, respectively; the staff cost to sales ratio remained stable across the sectors (Table 2B).

Interest

  • Interest coverage ratio (ICR)1 of manufacturing companies improved to 7.4 during Q4:2022-23 from 6.3 in the previous quarter; ICR of non-IT services companies improved for the second successive quarter, but remained relatively low at 1.7 (Table 2B).
