PAT margins for Q4 March 2020 stood at 8.4% as against 19.7% in Q3 December 2019. The profit before tax (PBT) contracted 51.68% to Rs 16.22 crore in Q4 March 2020 from Rs 33.57 crore in Q3 December 2019.

Rajiv C Mody, chairman, managing director & CEO, Sasken Technologies remarked: "We have seen some headwinds in the closing quarter of this financial year, which we believe are a highly localized occurrence. These developments have resulted in a reduction in our revenues, but we have been able to manage our costs and hence post better margins. The more significant concern remains the uncertainty in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been successful in implementing business continuity measures while ensuring the safety of all employees. We are likely to face pressures both on account of volume growth and rates. A hyper-conservative sentiment is prevailing in the macro-environment and causing these shifts. We continue maintaining active dialogues with our customers to mitigate possible risks and keep it business as usual."
