NEW DELHI – Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. Wednesday posted a moderate year-on-year rise in its standalone net profit for the June quarter alongside similar growth in revenue from operations. Total expenses for the three months rose slightly faster than the top line, but healthy growth in other income supported the bottom line for the quarter.
Both the top line and bottom line exceeded the expectations of analysts, who had estimated a ramp-up in deliveries of advanced light helicopter Mark-3 to the Indian Coast Guard, and healthy execution of the order book would lift the company's earnings.
The company's standalone net profit grew nearly 15% on year to INR 15.81 billion from INR 13.77 billion in the year-ago quarter. It was higher than the Street's expectation of INR 15.22 billion. This was the fourth consecutive quarter of year-on-year rise in net profit and the pace of growth was faster than in the trailing quarter.
The revenue from operations rose over 14% on year to INR 55.15 billion, again higher than analysts' consensus estimate of INR 53.92 billion. The on-year rise in net sales was the fastest in five quarters.
Other income grew nearly 21% on year to INR 9.03 billion, and total income rose over 15% on year to INR 64.18 billion. Total expenses, on the other hand, jumped over 15% on year to INR 42.93 billion. Expenses related to provisions surged nearly 22% on year to INR 3.59 billion and costs related to employee benefits totalled INR 15.22 billion, up more than 10% on year.
However, expenses tied to materials consumed declined 12% on year to INR 27.80 billion, and other expenses fell nearly 5% on year to INR 4.55 billion.
The company announced its June quarter results during market hours. Shares of the company were at INR 4,958.80, up 1%, as against down 0.7% earlier, after the company delivered better-than-expected numbers. At 1451 IST, shares of the company traded 1.3% higher at INR 4,972.20 on the National Stock Exchange. End
