MUMBAI – DLF Ltd. Monday reported an 18% year-on-year increase in its bottom line for the June quarter but missed analysts' estimates. The company's top line, however, beat analysts' estimates by a large margin. Although finance costs, employee costs, depreciation, and other expenses declined, a near three-fold increase in the cost of land, plots, constructed properties, and development rights resulted in a sharp jump in total expenses. 

 

The company's consolidated net profit for the reporting quarter rose 18.1% on year to INR 7.63 billion, but failed to meet analysts' expectation of INR 8.61 billion. Its revenue nearly doubled on-year to INR 27.17 billion, beating the Street's view of INR 18.94 billion. Sequentially, the bottom line fell 40.5% and the top line declined 13.1%.

 

The real estate developer's cost of land, plots, constructed properties, development rights and others rose 194.4% from a year ago to INR 19.48 billion. The total expense of the company rose 94% year-on-year to INR 24.66 billion.

The company made new sales bookings of INR 114.25 billion in the latest quarter, an increase of 78%, on the back of the launch of the DLF Privana North. The company also repaid debt of INR 13.64 billion in the reporting quarter and also reported a net cash position of INR 79.80 billion.

 

"We remain enthused on the strong prospects of the housing demand backed by a resilient economy, growth-oriented policies of the government & central bank, increasing desire for home ownership, and strong preference towards large, credible and branded players," the company said in a press release. "We stay committed and focused on leveraging these tailwinds to offer high-quality products."

 

The company reported consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation of INR 6.28 billion, up 6% on year, beating the Street estimate of INR 5.28 billion. The company's EBITDA margin for the reporting quarter declined to 21% from 34% in the year-ago quarter.

 

Monday, the company's shares ended at INR 792.85 on the National Stock Exchange, up 2.0% from its previous close. The realty company had released its quarterly results after market hours.
