The company had posted a net profit of Rs 36.37 crore in the July-September quarter a year ago, Greenply Industries said in a BSE filing.

Its revenue from operations was marginally up at Rs 448.30 crore in the quarter under review as against Rs 446.09 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal.

Greenply Industries Joint Managing Director and CEO Shobhan Mittal said: "This has been a tough quarter. Overall net sales were stagnant although the plywood vertical grew by 11.4 per cent." "However a significant fall in MDF volumes and a major depreciation of the rupee had a huge negative impact on MDF and overall margins and profitability. Rupee depreciation had a negative impact of Rs 22.9 crore on the results for this quarter," he added.

Shares of Greenply Industries Ltd on Monday settled at Rs 144.65 apiece on the BSE, down 4.27 per cent from their previous close.
