What the Numbers Show
The divergence between the standalone and consolidated revenue trends highlights structural shifts within the group. While standalone revenue contracted by approximately 3%, consolidated revenue grew by roughly 11% year-on-year. However, this top-line growth at the consolidated level did not translate into improved profitability; instead, the consolidated net loss widened by over 33% year-on-year. This suggests that while certain subsidiaries or segments may be driving revenue growth, they are currently operating at lower margins or facing higher cost pressures that are impacting the overall bottom line more severely than in the prior period.
