The company's profit before tax (PBT) fell 13.37% to Rs 14 crore as against Rs 16 crore last year. EBITDA rose 19.61% to Rs 61 crore compared with Rs 51 crore last year.

During the quarter, the company's supply chain segment grew at 11% YoY driven by continuing growth in non-auto end markets including durables, FMCG and E-Commerce.

The company said it continued focus and traction on improving operational efficiencies and cost management.

The company's revenue from enterprise mobility segment fell 23% YoY. Enterprise mobility recovery was impacted by the resurgence of wave 3 of the pandemic impacting return to work programs of key clients. Freight forwarding sustained double-digit growth trajectory, the company said.

For the full year, Mahindra Logistics' net profit rose 23.57% to Rs 37.07 crore on 25.10% increase in net sales to Rs 4083.03 crore in the year ended March 2022 over the year ended March 2021.

Rampraveen Swaminathan, managing director and CEO of Mahindra Logistics, said: "We continue to witness a challenging external environment with global supply chain volatility, chip shortages, fuel & commodity cost pressures and continuing waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite these headwinds, we delivered continuing growth in Q4, FY21-22, driven by account acquisition and execution of our strategy of providing customized, integrated solutions to our customers. Our revenue growth was driven by E-commerce, Consumer, Automotive and Freight Forwarding businesses. Strong momentum in Supply Chain has offset the impact of Wave 3 of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Enterprise Mobility business. We remain focused on improving operational efficiencies and margin expansion."
