• Standalone SGA by 50 bps due to higher investment in salaries and increased office presence                                                           
• Standalone PAT margins down by 4 bps only. Would have increased by 30-50 bps, however, some government related business moved to FY25 due to announcement of the general election

EMSL completed its internal structuring in H2 FY24 wherein:                                                  

• The business serving end clients/exhibitors/brands was moved to its 99% subsidiary Digiglobe Advertising.        
• The overseas business was moved to its 51% subsidiary Maple Heights LLC Dubai.
• Venue related and business focused on serving event/exhibition organizers were retained in EMSL

Top-line of INR 5.3 Cr/PAT 0.93 Cr was moved to Maple Heights LLC in H2 FY24 resulting in reduction of INR 9.5 Cr of revenue and INR 1.6 Cr PAT from standalone numbers to its subsidiaries in H2 of FY24.                                                          

The adjusted H2 of FY24 figures for EMSL standalone adjusted to effect of restructuring would have been approximately INR 27.2 Cr sales and INR 3.96 Cr PAT in H2 FY24.                                

The adjusted Full year FY24 figures for EMSL standalone, adjusted to effect of restructuring would have been approximately INR 50.24 Cr sales and INR 7.90 Cr PAT.                

The effect of shift of revenue and PAT from EMSL to Digiglobe is largely neutral as the same is 99% consolidated. However, the effect of shift of revenue and PAT from EMSL to Maple Heights is neutral for revenue but only 51% of PAT is consolidated leading to lower PAT percentage.
