MUMBAI – Mankind Pharma Ltd. reported a high single-digit year-on-year increase in its consolidated bottom line for the December quarter. The company's net profit was, however, below Street estimates due to a one-time cost arising from the implementation of labour codes. The company reported a double-digit on-year growth in its top line for the quarter.
The company's net profit for the December quarter was INR 4.09 billion, up nearly 8% on year but down 20% on quarter. Analysts had estimated the company's net profit to be INR 4.76 billion. The company incurred a one-time cost of INR 1.07 billion, of which INR 741 million is due to the implementation of labour codes, INR 190 million is due to costs related to intellectual property rights, and the remaining is from an asset impairment provision. Without the one-time cost, the company's net profit would have been INR 5.15 billion, above analysts' estimates. This is the first on-year increase in net profit in five quarters.
The company's revenue from operations was INR 35.67 billion, up nearly 12% on year but down nearly 4% on quarter. Analysts had estimated the company's revenue from operations at INR 35.73 billion. This is the 12th consecutive quarter of year-on-year increase in the company's revenue.
The company's total expenditure in the December quarter was INR 30.28 billion, up over 8% on year but down more than 4% on quarter. The on-year rise in expenditure was because of a 13% rise in other expenses to INR 8.46 billion and 17% on-year increase in costs related to employee benefits to INR 8.24 billion. The cost for raw materials consumed was up nearly 4% on year at INR 5.53 billion. This is the first time in 12 quarters that the company's total expenditure has increased in single digit year on year.
The company's adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation was INR 8.16 billion, flat on year and down nearly 12% on quarter. The EBITDA margin contracted by 270 basis points to 22.9% from 25.6% a year ago.
The company's revenue from domestic operations was INR 30.46 billion. Exports contributed INR 5.21 billion to the company's overall revenue. The growth in revenue was driven by base business, as well as consolidation of Bharat Serum and Vaccines Ltd. business, the company said. The company's revenue from consumer healthcare business grew more than 5% on year. The share of modern trade and e-commerce increased to 13.1% in the December quarter, the company said. The company's consolidated gross margin expanded by 170 bps to 72.6% from 70.9% in the year-ago quarter.
