MUMBAI – Bajaj Electricals Ltd. posted a whopping 30-time jump in net profit for the June quarter on the back of an exceptional income, fall in total expenses, and a negative change in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress. The net profit surprised the Street, beating all estimates, whereas revenues for the quarter were below expectations.

 

Bajaj Electricals reported a net profit of INR 479.5 million for the June quarter, compared with INR 16.4 million a year ago. Analysts' consensus estimate was INR 215.40 million. The company received INR 87.8 million on the sale of immovable property as a one-time gain. In the year-ago quarter, it had a one-time cost of nearly INR 70 million.

 

The company's total revenue from operations for the June quarter was INR 10.89 billion, marginally up on year from INR 10.65 billion. The estimate was INR 11.57 billion.

 

Total expenses fell 3% on year to INR 10.58 billion and other expenses fell 10% on year to INR 1.77 billion. Depreciation and amortisation expenses were down 18% on year at INR 305.4 million. Bajaj Electricals reported a negative INR 886.2 million for changes in inventories of finished goods, work-in-progress, and traded goods. This reduced the total expenses further, driving the net profit up. Expense on purchase of traded goods rose 19% to INR 6.58 billion and the expense on cost of materials consumed rose 23% to INR 1.51 billion.

 

The electrical goods maker's consumer products segment reported sales of INR 8.20 billion, up 1.7% on year. The earnings before interest and tax for this segment were INR 320 million for the June quarter, a turnaround from an EBIT loss of INR 140 million a year ago. Revenues from the lighting segment was up 4.4% to INR 2.69 billion.

 

"Consumer products returned to growth with a positive EBIT margin of 3.9%, reflecting the benefits of our strategic actions, margin expansion, and operating leverage," Sanjay Sachdeva, managing director and chief executive officer, said. "Lighting Solutions sustained its momentum with 4.4% growth on a strong base. Our EBIT margins are at healthy 6.6%, driven by disciplined execution and pricing agility."
