Feb 5 (Reuters) - India's Redington REDI.NS reported an 18% jump in quarterly profit on Wednesday as the electronics distributor benefitted from steady demand for computers and mobile phones, its largest segments.

Demand for artificial intelligence-powered computers in the corporate and educational sectors as well as new smartphone launches have helped manufacturers and distributors weather inflation-driven choppy demand.

Redington, which is a distributor of Apple AAPL.O and Samsung 005930.KS products, reported a rise in profit to 4 billion rupees ($45.8 million) for the October-December quarter, from 3.41 billion rupees last year.

Its revenue from operations rose nearly 14% to 267.16 billion rupees, aided by a 9% growth in its mobile phones business and a 6% growth in the segment that distributes consumer and commercial computers.

Redington's technology solutions group posted a 28% rise in revenue, boosted by an increase in software spending.

The company has been expanding into new countries and sharpening its focus on its cloud services business to expand beyond gadget distribution, which currently brings in a bulk of its revenue.

BENGALURU, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Indian IT products distributor Redington REDI.NS reported a 3.5% fall in second-quarter profit on Tuesday, hurt by slowdown in demand for personal computers and phones in some of its international markets.

Over the last few quarters, markets like Turkey and Africa have been sore spots for Redington, which distributes gadgets produced by Apple AAPL.O and Samsung 005930.KS, as high inflation has squeezed consumer spending.

The company's consolidated net profit stood at 2.93 billion rupees ($34.9 million) for the three months ending Sept. 30, compared to 3.03 billion rupees a year earlier.

Revenue from its biggest verticals - personal computers and print supplies, and mobile phones - dropped 3% and 4%, respectively in the rest of the world segment which includes countries such as Turkey.

"Challenges in the Turkey business continued due to softening demand caused by tough market conditions," V.S. Hariharan, group chief executive officer, said in a statement.

Redington has also been expanding its reach globally, driving its total expenses up by around 12% in the quarter.

Its revenue from operations also rose 12% to 248.96 billion rupees, aided by steady demand in the Indian and south Asian markets.

BENGALURU, May 15 (Reuters) - Indian IT products distributor Redington REDI.NS reported a 5% rise in quarterly profit on Wednesday, aided by demand for mobile phones and computers in its key markets.

The Apple AAPL.O and Samsung 005930.KS gadgets distributor's consolidated net profit climbed to 3.26 billion rupees ($39.06 million) for the fourth quarter ended March 31, according to a regulatory filing.

Affluent Indians are increasingly spending more than 30,000 rupees ($361.30) on new smartphones, benefiting manufacturers and distributors such as Redington.

Global personal computer sales also show signs of recovery after inflation-hit customers delayed system upgrades for several quarters.

Revenue from operations for Redington rose nearly 3% to 224.33 billion rupees, benefiting from an 8% growth in its SISA segment, which includes Singapore, India and South Asia.

Revenue from its consumer and commercial personal computers, print and supplies business in SISA rose 10% in the quarter, while its smartphones and feature phones business in the region recorded a 6% growth.

The growth in SISA made up a 2% decline in revenue from the rest of the world for the company, which has a presence in 31 countries, including Rwanda, Oman and Turkey.

Shares of Chennai, Tamil Nadu-based Redington closed 1.3% higher ahead of the results, taking their gains to nearly 22% this year.

CHENNAI, Feb 15 (Reuters) - India's Redington REDI.NS expects demand for personal computers to bounce back next financial year as customers are likely to warm up to new devices with artificial intelligence features, a top executive at the tech goods distributor said.

Global PC sales are showing signs of recovery after inflation-hit customers delayed system upgrades for several quarters, results of chipmakers including Samsung Electronics 005930.KS and Intel INTC.O showed.

"The advent of AI, PCs will also drive tech refresh," Redington's Singapore, India and South Asia (SISA) CEO Ramesh Natarajan told Reuters, adding that he sees its PC business posting a single-digit percentage growth in fiscal 2025 in the region after reporting declines in the last six quarters.

AI-enabled PCs refer to machines that come with chips capable of running large-language models and apps powered by the technology directly on the device, instead of the cloud.

"Considering the replacement cycles for PCs have averaged around three to four years, we believe 2024 will be the year that will see some rebound," said Neil Shah, vice president of research at Counterpoint Research.

SISA revenue from Redington's end-point solutions unit, which distributes PCs and printers, fell 7% to 100.72 billion rupees ($1.21 billion) in the nine months ended Dec. 31.

The segment, which accounts for about 15% of the group's total revenue, had gained during the pandemic when businesses and individuals spent heavily to set up home offices. But many are yet to upgrade.

Natarajan also expects more growth in Redington's mobile phone business, which distributes smartphones from Apple, Google and others, as affluent Indians splurge on phones that cost more than 30,000 rupees ($361.30). The segment had seen a 61% revenue jump in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 in the SISA region.

Redington has been sharpening its focus on its cloud services business to expand beyond gadget distribution, which brings in a bulk of its revenue.

CHENNAI, May 16 (Reuters) - Indian IT products distributor Redington Ltd REDI.NS reported a 26% increase in quarterly revenue on Tuesday, boosted by demand for laptops and mobile phones, and as government departments and businesses spent more on servers, storage and software upgrades.

A pandemic-led drive towards digitisation by governments and businesses is a "one-way street," Redington had said earlier this year, as offices would have to continue to spend on technology, driving revenue growth for gadget and software providers.

Redington, which distributes products of global technology gaints like Apple Inc AAPL.O and Dell Technologies Inc DELL.N, reported revenue from operations rose to a record 218.49 billion rupees ($2.67 billion) in the quarter ended March 31.

The company said revenue from Singapore, India and South Asia (SISA) increased 19% to 99.82 billion rupees, while that from the rest of the world, including Middle East, Turkey, Africa - its biggest segment - soared 33% to 118.76 billion rupees.

Consolidated profit attributable to shareholders, however, dropped about 11% to 3.10 billion rupees, as total expenses for the quarter jumped 27%.

Shares of Redington, which also recommended a dividend of 7.2 rupees per share on Tuesday, closed 0.6% lower before it reported results. The stock is down nearly 3% this year.
