Mr. Manu Parpia, Managing Director & CEO, Geometric Limited said, “The revenues this quarter have been disappointing. Nonetheless EPS is still robust, reflecting the benefit of our efforts to streamline our operations. The decline in revenues was mainly due to cutbacks at one major customer, which will also have an adverse impact this quarter as some cutbacks took effect late last year. Many of our other accounts continue to grow reflecting the continued demand for engineering services. Overall our revenues will show growth in Q4 due to our 3Cap acquisition”. The Company expects to resume growth from the next financial year.
