Shares of Hindustan Zinc Ltd touched a day high of Rs 547.40 on 19 October, before it reported a record Q2 net profit of Rs 6,412 crore.

The company told exchanges about its results at 3:33 pm, after the market had closed, so the day’s moves came before the numbers were out.

Here is what Hindustan Zinc reported for the quarter ended 30 September. Net profit rose 142% from a year ago.

Revenue climbed 77% to Rs 15,093 crore, and EBITDA, which is operating profit before some costs, more than doubled to Rs 9,285 crore.

The EBITDA margin came in at 62%. Put simply, the company kept about Rs 62 as operating profit from every Rs 100 of sales.

The company pointed to higher metal prices, bigger output, lower costs and better prices for by-products.

Mined metal output hit 271,000 tonnes, up 5%, while refined metal rose 7% to 264,000 tonnes, with silver output rising 20% to 173 tonnes.

Making a tonne of zinc, before royalty, cost 29% less at $703. The first half of the year tells a similar story.

Net profit rose 143% to Rs 11,881 crore on revenue of Rs 28,840 crore, and silver supplied roughly 45% of overall profit.

At 30 September, Hindustan Zinc held Rs 17,439 crore in cash and investments against borrowings of Rs 6,171 crore. It also kept its CRISIL AAA rating.
