The operating profit margins were marginally lower in Q4FY23 at 12.84% compared to the year ago quarter but better than the sequential quarter. However, while the net margins were better on a yoy basis, the net margins were sharply lower on a sequential basis, although that was more on account of the impact of the exceptional gain in Q3FY23.
