SpiceJet Ltd announced its financial results for the September and December quarters on Wednesday, 26 February.

The airline posted a net profit of Rs 24.9 crore for the third quarter, a significant drop from Rs 301 crore in the same period last year. However, Chairman and Managing Director Ajay Singh highlighted that the company has turned net worth positive for the first time in a decade. “The past is behind us, and we are now firmly focused on building a stronger, more resilient future for SpiceJet,” he stated.

Total income for the quarter stood at Rs 1,650 crore, down from Rs 2,148 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal. Meanwhile, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) expenses for the December quarter were recorded at Rs 167 crore, compared to Rs 234 crore in the prior year.

The company’s auditors noted that SpiceJet’s accumulated losses have reached Rs 8,170 crore. Additionally, the airline and some of its subsidiaries are reportedly non-compliant with various laws and regulations, though the exact impact on consolidated financial results remains uncertain.

The auditor further pointed out that SpiceJet’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by Rs 3,925 crore, raising concerns about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to material uncertainties.
