MUMBAI – Escorts Kubota Ltd.'s net profit for the December quarter rose in low double-digit both on year and on quarter, as the growth in total income was faster than the growth in total expenses. However, the company's bottom line and top line did not meet the Street's estimates. The company sold higher number of tractors in the December quarter but saw a drop in sales of construction equipment.

 

The company reported a net profit of INR 3.62 billion for the December quarter, up over 12% on year and nearly 13% on quarter. There was no profit from discontinued operations of the company's railway division, which it sold to Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd. in the last financial year. In the year ago quarter, profit from the discontinued operations was INR 438.4 million, which helped the company report a net profit of INR 3.23 billion.

 

The company's revenue from operations for the December quarter was INR 32.61 billion, up over 11% on year. Other income rose nearly 41% on year to INR 1.54 billion. Total income increased over 12% on year to INR 34.15 billion.

 

The company's total expenditure for the quarter was INR 28.92 billion, up nearly 9% from INR 26.64 billion a year ago. This was mainly because of rise in cost of materials consumed to INR 15.87 billion, up over 6% on year. The purchase of stock in trade almost doubled to INR 4.35 billion.  

 

The company sold 36,955 tractors in the December quarter, up 13.5% a year ago. The company's revenue from agricultural machinery products was INR 27.87 billion, up nearly 15% on year. The segment accounted for 85% of the company's total revenue for the December quarter. Sales of construction equipment fell to 1,716 units from 1,989 units a year ago. Revenue from the construction equipment segment was down 5% on year to INR 4.89 billion in the December quarter.

 

The company reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation of INR 4.39 billion, up 31% on year. Escorts Kubota's EBITDA margin for the December quarter was 13.5%, up 203 basis points from the previous year. The EBIT margin of the agricultural machinery business was 13.5%, against 10.4% a year ago. The EBIT margin of the construction equipment business was 6.6%, down 437 bps on year.

 

For the nine months ended December, the company's total revenue was INR 85.22 billion, up nearly 10% on year. Net profit for the nine-month period was INR 20.84 billion, up from INR 9.53 billion a year ago.

 

The company declared a one-time special dividend of INR 18 per share of INR 10 face value. The record date for the payment of special dividend is Feb. 16.

 

The company said it will invest INR 5.93 billion to set up a new plant in Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority area in Uttar Pradesh for manufacturing tractors, construction equipment, and other products.
