Software services provider Patni Computer Systems ' first quarter standalone net profit declined near 14% year-on-year to Rs 153 crore as expenses rose.
Sales for the January-March quarter were up 4.5% at Rs 535.14 crore.
On a sequential basis, Patni's net profit was up 2%, while sales fell 12%.
Nasdaq-listed IGate had acquired a majority stake in Patni for Rs 503 a share last year. On Monday it agreed to pay Patni's minority shareholders Rs 520 a share, which will allow it to delist the company from the stock exchanges and merge it with itself.
The delisting price is at 5% premium over Monday's closing price. It was determined through a reverse book building conducted between March 28-30.
Patni shares closed up 2.2% at Rs 505.15 on NSE on Tuesday.
