Mumbai, July 18 (NationPress) Sify Technologies Limited, a prominent Indian provider of ICT services, announced on Friday a notable escalation in its net loss for the first quarter of this financial year.
The firm's loss after tax reached Rs 38.9 crore, compared to Rs 5.2 crore in the same quarter of the previous year, as per their stock exchange filing.
This increased loss has been linked to heightened depreciation, climbing interest expenses, and surging manpower costs.
Despite the growing loss, Sify's revenue experienced an uptick in the quarter, amounting to Rs 1,072.3 crore compared to Rs 942.1 crore during the corresponding period last year, according to the company’s filing.
Sify’s EBITDA also recorded a positive trend, reaching Rs 211.1 crore for the quarter, an increase from Rs 178.4 crore a year earlier.
However, these operational gains were insufficient to counterbalance the overall negative impact of rising expenses on the company’s bottom line.
In pre-market trading on the Nasdaq, Sify’s stock fell by 4.15 percent to $5.55 following the release of its quarterly results.
