MUMBAI - Dalmia Bharat Ltd. Friday reported a sharp fall in net profit for the June quarter owing to an increase in expenditure. However, the company's revenue from operations grew on year on the back of an increase in sales volumes.

 

The cement maker reported a consolidated net profit of INR 1.88 billion for the June quarter, down 52% on year. This was also well below the Street's view of INR 2.16 billion. Dalmia Bharat's revenue from operations rose to INR 38.90 billion from INR 36.36 billion for the year-ago quarter. Sequentially, the company's net profit fell 51% and revenue fell 8%.

 

The company's total expenses increased 13% on year to INR 35.93 billion. Its freight charges were INR 8.6 billion, up 8% on year. Dalmia Bharat's other expenses rose to INR 6.32 billion, up 17% on year, and its cost of raw materials consumed rose to INR 6.44 billion, up 13%. The company's power and fuel cost rose to INR 8.51 billion, up 17.38% on year.

 

"This quarter marks an important milestone with the acquisition of cement assets in the Central region, as we move firmly towards our aspiration of becoming a pan-India player," Puneet Dalmia, managing director and chief executive officer, said in a press release. "As we look ahead, our endeavour will be a swift ramp up and embedding Dalmia's cost leadership practices to unlock superior returns."

 

Dharmender Tuteja, chief financial officer of the company, said, "Our leverage remains modest despite the acquisition, underscoring our commitment to prudent and disciplined capital allocation. While the near term cost headwinds persist, our unwavering focus on operational excellence and disciplined execution will position us well to continue delivering profitable and sustainable growth."

 

The company completed the acquisition of the cement undertaking of Jaiprakash Associates, which added 5.2 million tonnes per annum of cement capacity and 3.3 million tonnes per annum of clinker capacity across four plants in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, at an enterprise value of INR 28.5 billion. 

 

The company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation fell to INR 8.05 billion from INR 8.83 billion for the quarter. Its EBITDA per tonne rose to INR 1,055 from INR 1,261 in the year-ago quarter.
