MUMBAI – NHPC Ltd. managed to report a net profit for the December quarter due to one-time income of INR 11 billion under the 'regulatory deferral account balances'. Without this one-time income, the company would have made a net loss.  

 

The power generation company's net profit for the reporting quarter was INR 2.93 billion, up over 7% on year, and closer to the lower estimate of the range given by analysts. Analysts had expected the company's net profit at INR 2.89 billion-INR 8.97 billion. Without the one-time income of INR 11 billion, the company would have reported a loss of INR 8.45 billion.

 

The company's revenue for the quarter was INR 18.77 billion, down nearly 5% on year, and below the range of INR 20.45 billion to INR 28.55 billion estimated by the Street.

 

The company's total income for the reporting quarter was INR 23.1 billion, down nearly 5% on year. The company's total expenses were INR 26.5 billion, up over 25% on year. This was mainly on the back of a three-fold on-year jump in its other expenses to INR 14.74 billion. However, the company reported a decline in its finance costs to INR 3.02 billion, down nearly 54% on year, and employee benefit expenses to INR 3.1 billion, down over 52% on year. 

 

The company's operating margin for the quarter was 19.35%. This is down by over 900 basis points from the corresponding quarter a year ago.

 

NHPC's net profit for Apr-Dec was INR 22.90 billion, up nearly 5% on year. The company's revenue for Apr-Dec was INR 75.87 billion, up over 9% on year.

 

The company declared a dividend of INR 1.4 per share, and set Feb. 10 as the record date. The company announced its results after market hours. Wednesday, shares of the company closed marginally lower at INR 78.48 on the National Stock Exchange.  End
