INDU: 1HFY21 Result Review (In line with expectations) |
|
· Indus Motor Company Limited (INDU) announced results for 2QFY21 where the company posted PAT of PkR2.96bn (EPS: PkR37.6) up 60%QoQ/200%YoY, in line with our expectations. Thereby, the company achieved 1HFY21 PAT of PkR4.8bn (EPS: PkR61.08) up 108%YoY. Auspiciously, the company announced dividend of PkR25/sh, well above our expectations. · The surge in profitability was primarily driven by major uptick in topline registering growth of 33%QoQ/106%YoY on the back of remarkable growth in sales of all Toyota Vehicles by 93%YoY/23%QoQ as the economy recovered from the pandemic. Vigorous sales also resulted from no major price hikes by Indus in the last quarter. · Moreover, the gross margin of the company improved to 8.2%in 2QFY21 (vs 6.7% in 1QFY21) due to favorable PKR dynamics and controlled inflation. Additionally, other operating income of the company increased 26%QoQ on back of rising short term investments. The finance cost declined 29%QoQ taking quarterly net margin to 6.5% (against 5.4% in 1QFY21). · Going forward, we expect the company to post healthy profitability in light of robust demand of passenger cars in the country, stable PKR and successful initiation of COVID-19 vaccination drive at home. |
