# Data On Performance Of Private Corporate Business Sector During 2021-22

Posted On - 27 July, 2022 • By - Sudhaman

Reserve Bank of India released the data on the performance of the private corporate sector during 2021-22 drawn from abridged financial results of 3,166 listed non-government non-financial (NGNF) companies. Below are the highlights of the report:

**Sales**

- Private corporate sales and profitability registered good growth during 2021-22 as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic lessened and economic activities recovered, especially in the second half of the year
- Sales of 1,865 listed private manufacturing companies witnessed broad-based recovery and expansion by 36.7 per cent during 2021-22 as compared with a contraction of 2.8 per cent in the preceding year; both volume and price components contributed to the higher growth, and it was also aided by favourable base effects 
- Information technology (IT) companies also enhanced their performance and their sales growth accelerated from 4.4 per cent to 19.8 per cent compared to the previous year

**Expenditure**

- Consistent with the rise in production and sales, manufacturing companies’ expenditure on raw materials increased by 48.6 per cent during the year and its contribution to their total sales increased.
- Unlike the manufacturing and non-IT sector, which witnessed a turnaround during 2021-22 from the pandemic-led shrinkage in sales and staff cost in the previous year, the IT sector weathered the consecutive waves of the pandemic and recorded constant growth in both these parameters

**Interest**

Interest cost moderated for manufacturing and IT companies during the year and the interest coverage ratio (ICR)[1](about:blank#FT1) of manufacturing companies improved from 5.0 to 8.4 in 2021-22 in the previous year due to lesser interest expenditures and increase in profits; ICR continued to persist below the unity for non-IT services companies

**Profit**

- Notwithstanding the input cost pressures, net profits of manufacturing companies surged by 50.2 per cent during 2021-22 and it also improved for the IT companies, whereas the non-IT services sector continued to register losses at the combined level
- Operating profit margins continued healthy for all the three sectors
- Net profit margins remained steady for manufacturing and IT companies, whereas it remained in the negative terrain for non-IT services companies
