MUMBAI – Birla Corp. Ltd. Wednesday reported a robust on-year growth in its consolidated net profit for the June quarter as revenues grew at almost double the pace of expenses. Expenses growth was low despite a sharp INR 1.58 billion increase in inventory changes, as the fall in power costs, finance costs, depreciation, and other expenses negated a large part of this increase. The total fall in expenses on these four heads was INR 938 million.
Birla Corp. reported a consolidated net profit of INR 1.20 billion for the June quarter, over three-and-a-half times that of INR 326 million a year ago. However, the company missed analysts' estimate of a net profit of INR 1.76 billion, primarily due to the sharp increase in inventory cost, which came in at INR 792 million as opposed to a fall of INR 791 million in the year-ago quarter.
The company's consolidated revenue from operations for the June quarter was INR 24.54 billion, up 12% on year but slightly lower than analysts' estimate of INR 25.2 billion. The total expenses of the company rose nearly 7% on year to INR 23.08 billion, driven by an 11% on-year rise in its transport and forwarding expenses on finished products and internal transfers. Other expenses of the company totalled INR 4.55 billion, down nearly 4% on year. The company's finance cost was INR 707 million, down 18% on year.
Shares of the company ended Wednesday at INR 1,384.70 on the National Stock Exchange, down 8.5% following the announcement of the results. End
