What is the story about?
Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) firm Cyient DLM Ltd on Tuesday (October 14) reported a 113.3% year-on-year (YoY) spike in net profit at ₹32 crore for the second quarter that ended June 30, 2025. In the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, Cyient DLM posted a net profit of ₹15 crore.
The company’s revenue from operations declined 20.3% year-on-year to ₹310.6 crore, down from ₹389.5 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, largely due to the completion of a large defence order.
At the operating level, EBITDA fell marginally by 1.3% to ₹31.1 crore from ₹31.6 crore a year ago. EBITDA margin improved to 10% in Q2 FY25 from 8.1% in the year-ago period, aided by a better business mix and improved supply chain efficiencies.

Cyient DLM said the material cost ratio improved owing to a more favourable mix and cost benefits in its US operations. The company noted an increase in employee and other expenses due to the inclusion of its US operations, while depreciation and amortisation rose on account of intangibles from the acquired entity.
Other income was higher due to a one-off earnout reversal of ₹19.6 crore, which also resulted in a lower effective tax rate (ETR) of 11.8%. Excluding the one-time gain, the normalised ETR stood at 25.8%, and the normalised PAT for the quarter was ₹12.6 crore, reflecting a 68.4% sequential rise but an 18.7% YoY decline.
In terms of business segments, the defence vertical saw a 90% YoY decline due to the large order completion, while aerospace grew 47%, and industrial and med-tech segments rose 256% and 114%, respectively.

The results came after the close of the market hours. Shares of Cyient DLM Ltd ended at ₹465.50, down by ₹21.45 or 4.40% on the BSE.
