cash management company reported a decent performance in the September 2024 quarter, with 15% year-on-year revenue growth. The performance was supported by significant growth in the managed services segment (36% year-on-year) and moderate growth (8% year-on-year) in the cash management services segment. However, margins (both EBITDA and PAT) contracted quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year amid lower realisations in the cash management segment, execution delays, and lower transactions in Brown Label ATMs (BLA). Analysts believe that such margin compression is temporary and expect performance acceleration in the second half of the current financial year. The company provides cash logistics services, including ATM and retail cash management and cash in transit. It is expanding into managed services like banking automation, ATM software, and remote monitoring. As a key partner for banks, NBFCs, retailers, and e-commerce firms, CMS Info leverages its network, technology, and solution-focused approach to tackle complex challenges.

Oil marketing companies (OMCs) weighed down the performance of corporate India in the September quarter. The weak performance of the refining segment, inventory losses and significant LPG under-recoveries contributed to the poor show. The three OMCs—Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum (HP) and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC)—reported a combined consolidated net profit of Rs.1,991.1 crore, falling by 92.8% year on year. The impact of OMCs on India Inc.’s overall performance can be assessed by comparing the aggregate PAT growth of all companies in the BSE 500 index and the index’s aggregate PAT growth (excluding OMCs). The data from Reuters-Refinitiv for 498 companies in the BSE 500 index shows a 1.7% y-o-y decline in the aggregate consolidated net profits (not adjusted for extraordinary items). After excluding OMCs, the aggregate net profit growth improves to 5.6% y-o-y. However, after the poor September quarter, the performance is set to improve in the second half of 2024-25. Recent reports from multiple brokerage houses, such as ICICI Securities, Prabhudas Lilladher, Antique Stock Broking, Motilal Oswal, and YES Securities, have been positive on the performance of OMCs.
