MUMBAI – Bayer Cropscience Ltd. reported a double-digit year-on-year increase in its net profit for the June quarter despite a fall in the company's revenue from operations.

The company's total expenses declined 5% on year to INR 15.22 billion in the June quarter. Within expenses, changes in inventories of finished goods, work-in-progress, and stock-in-trade for the June quarter were negative INR 743 million compared with a positive INR 680 million a year ago.

 

Depreciation and amortisation expenses for the quarter rose 84% on year to INR 501 million. The cost of materials consumed, the company's highest expense constituent, remained almost flat on year at INR 10.42 billion. The expense for purchase of stock-in-trade and employee benefits rose 8% on year each to INR 683 million and INR 1.13 billion, respectively. Other expenses rose 9% on year to 3.18 billion.
