Profit After Tax Impacted by deferred tax due to Goodwill
As per recent amendments by Income Tax Act, 1961, Goodwill on amalgamation will not be considered as a depreciable asset and depreciation on goodwill will not be allowed as deductible expenditure effective April 1, 2020.

- Hence, Profit after Tax is impacted by recognition of one-time deferred tax charge of Rs. 21.7 Crores for Q4FY21 (including adjustment for corresponding net deferred tax credit recognised in prior quarters) and Rs. 20.2 Crores (net) for the year consequent to the reduction of the depreciable amount of goodwill for tax purposes to nil.
- On adjusted basis, consolidated Profit after Tax for Q4FY21 has increased by 186% YoY and increased by 114% YoY for FY21.
- Standalone adjusted Profit after Tax for Q4FY21 has increased by 72% YoY and increased by 119% YoY for FY21.
Balance Goodwill to be written off
- Goodwill of Rs. 267 Crores had arisen on 1st April, 2016 and was being amortised over a period of 10 years.
- Unamortised value of said goodwill is Rs. 133.5 Crores as on 1st April, 2021 and is being restructured to be write-off against securities premium outstanding as on that date.
- Restructuring will lead to fair representation of assets & liabilities of the company.
Other Highlights
- Construction activities at Company's freehold land of about ten acres at Visakhapatnam, India for manufacture of products like Monolithic and Precast Shapes continues uninterruptedly. First phase is expected to be completed and commercialized soon.
- Steel demand in India as well in overseas markets continues to be strong and thus demand for refractories is expected to continue to be robust.
- Overall good macro factors coupled with consistent business development initiatives taken by the company will lead to sustained revenue & profitability going ahead in times to come.
