Ambika Cotton Mills Clarifies Segment Reporting for Financial Results
Ambika Cotton Mills Limited clarified that it operates solely in the textiles segment (cotton yarn and knitted fabrics). Windmills were for captive consumption and tax benefits have been withdrawn, rendering separate segment reporting unnecessary. The company previously reported textiles and windmills segments for tax reconciliation.
This is a clarification on an existing reporting practice and does not involve new financial information or strategic changes that would significantly impact the company's operations or stock.
The announcement is a clarification regarding segment reporting and does not contain new financial performance data or significant business updates, hence it is neutral.
Ambika Cotton Mills Limited has provided clarification to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited regarding its financial results, specifically addressing the segment details. The company stated that it operates solely in the textiles segment, focusing on the manufacturing and selling of cotton yarn and knitted fabrics.
The windmills previously installed were for captive consumption and were eligible for deduction under Section 80IA for infrastructure development. Segment information was previously provided to differentiate between textiles and windmills, primarily to reconcile effective tax rates due to tax exemptions. These tax benefits were withdrawn effective AY 2020-21 with the introduction of a simpler tax system that eliminated all tax exemptions.
The company noted that previously, the effective tax rate was 33.94% with tax exemptions and 25.168% without. Following the opting for the simpler tax regime, the significance of furnishing segment information has ceased, and there are no longer two distinct segments for reporting purposes. The company has requested this clarification be taken on record.
