Q4 Results: MCX Expects Margin To Improve This Fiscal
Its margin saw a 70 basis points dip in the March-ended quarter.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. expects its margin to pick up in fiscal year 2019-20 after it saw a 70-basis-points dip in the March-ended quarter on a yearly basis.
While the fixed cost base of the exchange will remain within the range seen over the last few years, “for every Rs 100 in revenue, roughly Rs 80 is the net of all variable costs which straight away goes into our margin”, the company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mrugank Paranjpe said. “We have a healthy rate of marginal incremental revenue we receive and thus margin should improve next year as we see a similar trend in volumes.”
Double-digit growth, he said, has helped the company expand its operating margin.
