MUMBAI – Container Corp. of India Ltd.'s bottom line for the December quarter fell in low single digit on year due to a rise in expenses outpacing the growth in revenue. The rise in expenses was primarily due to depreciation and amortisation costs doubling on year, even when its biggest expenditure item--rail freight cost--hardly saw a rise. Both the top line and the bottom line failed to exceed analysts' expectations.
The company's net profit fell to INR 3.29 billion on year for the latest quarter, down over 4%. Its revenue rose nearly 5% to INR 23.02 billion on year, while its total expenses rose nearly 7% on year to INR 19.64 billion. Sequentially, the net profit fell nearly 13% and revenue from operations fell over 2%.
Container Corp.'s depreciation and amortisation expenses jumped nearly 84% on year to INR 1.49 billion for the quarter under review from INR 810 million during the year-ago period.
The company's rail freight cost formed over 64% of its total expenses, with rail freight cost at INR 12.64 billion for the December quarter, up marginally on year.
Its export-import revenue was INR 15.33 billion while its domestic revenue was INR 7.69 billion for the December quarter. The export-import revenue for the reporting quarter rose over 10% on year, while its domestic revenue fell over 5%.
The company's revenue from operations for Apr-Dec was INR 68.03 billion, up over 3% on year. The net profit for the same period was INR 9.64 billion, down nearly 1% on year. The company declared an interim dividend of INR 3.40 per equity share amounting to INR 2.59 billion.
On Thursday, shares of the company closed nearly 1% higher at INR 500.60 on the National Stock Exchange. The results were announced post market hours. End
