FY 2010-11. OPM improved to 5.7% and powered 74% increase in operating profit at Rs 255.56 Crore

Resultantly, PBT tumbled 71% to Rs. 9.78 crore. After considering sharp 79% dip in taxation at Rs. 2.25 crore, The consolidated debt levels of the company have slightly increased by ~Rs 94 cr which was primarily due to higher inventory levels and sluggishness of demand.

gross profit margin. The Gross Profit Margin was 17.77% in 2011 which rose significantly in 2012 to 23.07%. An analysis of Debt Equity Ratio of past two years indicates that company was quick in discharging its obligation as soon as it earned profit. The Company Generated Profit of 28 crore in 2011 and in 2012 it is 10 crore and in the same year the DE ratio declined from 1.3:1 to 0.92:1. We expect CEAT to report continuous improvement in its operating performance, led by improving utilization at the Halol plant and declining raw-material prices. We believe that the changing product mix, expanding presence and attractive valuations seem propelling for CEAT
