The company attributed the fall in net to a one time gain arising out of sale of an investment in the year-ago period.

If the one-time gain is excluded, the net profit has grown by 3.60 percent, it said.

Crisil’s consolidated total income for the quarter grew 6.20 percent to Rs 216.55 crore against Rs 203.89 crore in the previous year.

Among the segments, the highest revenue giving research wing witnessed a sequential drop in the revenue to Rs 113.28 crore from the March quarter’s Rs 115.30 crore due to poor economic conditions.

“Crisil Research’s growth during the quarter was impacted by the slowdown in the economy and volatility in the stock markets,” it said.

The company scrip was trading 3.34 percent down at Rs 995 apiece on the BSE at 1.45 pm, against the 0.64 percent gain in the 30-share indicative BSE Sensex.

Crisil’s board has declared a second interim dividend of Rs 3 per share, it added.
