MUMBAI – The logistics major Delhivery Ltd. reported a sharp fall in its net profit for the June quarter despite a significant growth in its total sales. The profit was mainly dragged down by higher expenses of the company incurred due to a rise in fuel cost during the quarter. The company's profit was below the Street estimates, while the revenue was above the estimates by a wide margin. 

 

Delhivery's consolidated net profit for the June quarter was INR 319.6 million, down 65% from INR 910.46 million year ago. Analysts had expected the company's net profit at INR 440.86 million.

 

The company's consolidated net revenue from operations for the June quarter was INR 29.31 billion, up 28% from INR 22.94 billion in the year-ago quarter. Analysts had estimated the company's net revenue at INR 28.65 billion for the June quarter.

 

Delhivery's total expenses for the June quarter rose more than 29% on year to INR 30.12 billion from INR 23.27 billion. The major contributor to the total expenses was freight, handling and servicing costs, at INR 21.52 billion, which rose more than 31% on year.

 

The company has approved an investment of up to INR 500 million in its wholly owned subsidiary Delhivery Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. 

 

Delhivery's consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation for the June quarter were INR 1.56 billion, up nearly 5% on year from INR 1.49 billion. The company's consolidated EBITDA margin for the June quarter was 5.3%, down nearly 120 basis points on year from 6.5%. 

 

The company's capital expenditure for the June quarter was 3.1% of the revenue. The company had a cash balance of INR 46.77 billion as on Jun. 30. Delhivery's express parcel shipment grew 55.2% on year to 322 million shipments and the part truckload freight tonnage grew more than 18% on year to 542,000 tonnes. 

 

Delhivery reappointed Sahil Barua as the managing director and chief exective officer of the company for five years, effective from Oct. 13. Friday, shares of Delhivery ended at INR 473.30 on the National Stock Exchange, up 2% from the previous close.  End
