JBM Auto Ltd reported a 4.6% year-on-year rise in net profit for the December quarter at ₹55 crore, compared with ₹52.6 crore in the corresponding period last year, aided by strong revenue growth.
Revenue for the quarter increased 15.6% year-on-year to ₹1,614 crore from ₹1,396.2 crore, reflecting higher activity levels across its operations.
Operating performance, however, remained under pressure. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined 1.6% year-on-year to ₹173.4 crore from ₹176.2 crore a year earlier. As a result, the operating margin narrowed to 10.70% from 12.60% in the year-ago quarter.
The company said exceptional items during the quarter reflected the impact of the new labour codes and operational disruptions. These amounted to ₹8.40 crore in the standalone financial results and ₹9.64 crore in the consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine-month period ended December 31, 2025.
