Revenue from operations rose 35.12 per cent to INR 277 crore during the quarter under review against INR 205 crore in the year-ago period. This was led by robust off-season sales and quite positive and buoyant trade sentiment during the quarter, Symphony said in its earnings statement.
The company’s revenue from the Indian market was at INR 198 crore, while the global markets contributed INR 79 crore. Total expenses in the quarter were INR 243 crore, up 32.06 per cent as compared to the year-ago period. Symphony also said its board, in a meeting held on Wednesday, approved a share buyback of INR 200 crore, buying back up to 10,00,000 equity shares at INR 2,000 per scrip, subject to shareholders’ approval.
