MUMBAI – DOMS Industries Ltd. Monday reported a decline in net profit for the June quarter, dragged down by higher depreciation due to capacity expansion and commissioning of new facilities, along with high input costs. The growth in operating expenses was more than the rise in sales.
The stationery manufacturer posted a consolidated net profit of INR 444.89 million for the June quarter, down 22% from INR 572.78 million for the year-ago quarter. Analysts had estimated the bottom line at INR 582.67 million. Sequentially also, the net profit was down 22%.
Revenue from operations rose 19% to INR 6.71 billion from INR 5.62 billion a year ago, in line with the Street's estimate of INR 6.71 billion. On a sequential basis, the top line grew 11%. Total income rose 19% on year to INR 5.67 billion. The company's other income fell over 11% to INR 39.85 million. Sales of the company's stationery products rose nearly INR 1 billion to INR 6.26 billion, supported by the start of a new academic session and new product launches.
"We are now progressing toward commercialisation of the first phase at our 50+ acre greenfield facility. Commercial operations are expected to commence by the end of Q2 (September quarter) FY27," Managing Director Santosh Raveshia said.
COSTS WEIGH
The company's total expenses in the June quarter rose 26% on year to INR 6.13 billion. The cost of materials consumed surged 35% to INR 3.7 billion due to the impact of the war in West Asia. Other expenses rose 28% to INR 789 million, as the company took possession of the first building on its 50-acre greenfield project. The company's employee benefits expenses increased 23% to INR 943 million due to a new portion of an employee stock option plan and an increase in headcount.
The earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation of DOMS Industries for the June quarter declined 16% to INR 826 million. The EBITDA margin contracted 530 basis points to 12.3% from 17.6%.
The company announced its June quarter earnings after market hours. Monday, its shares closed at INR 2,292 apiece on the National Stock Exchange, up 1.4% from Friday. End
