    Management Commentary:

    •  Commenting on the March quarter results, Jaydev Modi, Chairman said, “The Year has shown a steady and robust performance vis a vis the previous years and we expect better performance in the years ahead. The information regarding launch of our new vessel is already in public domain and this will further propel the growth trajectory and help us achieve the desired goals.”
    • Hardik Dhebar, Group CFO said, The current FY witnessed a historic performance, the gaming revenue crossed the INR 1000 crores milestone and registered extremely strong EBIDTA and PAT numbers. We expect a similar performance for the year to come. Our focus on increasing our revenues and controlling costs will always be at the forefront. We will continue our focus on growth and improving margins.”

    Outlook:

    Delta Corp has reported subdued performance in Q4FY23 with yearly growth of 4% in the revenue and 6% growth in the Net Profits. The highest revenue generating segment i.e. Casino Gaming business grew by only 1.8% on YoY basis mainly due to the non-operation of its flagship casino Deltin Royale for nearly one month. The Online Gaming business grew by 11.5% YoY in the 4th quarter, however ongoing mulling of banning online gaming related to betting is a major risk for this segment. However, the management of the company has positive outlook with the online gaming. For the whole FY23 company has reported the earnings of Rs.9.77 and is available at PEx of 19.9 at the current market price.
