NML: 2QFY20 Result Review |
||
|
In its 2QFY20 result, NML reported net profit of PkR968mn (EPS: PKR2.75) vs. PKR2,100mn (EPS: PKR5.97) in 2QFY19, down 54%YoY. The earnings came in 16% lower than our expectations. The deviation was mainly on two counts: i) lower than expected revenue (~8% below our expectations) and ii) weaker than expected margin at gross level (actual 11.07% vs. expected 12.46%), signifying low materialization of translation gains in PKR terms.
Key highlights: · Topline grew by a nominal 6%YoY, signifying weak translation of currency gains in final product prices. · Margin at gross level contracted 72bpsYoY, suggesting elevated cost pressures · Finance cost declined 27%YoY on account of lower borrowing and higher subsidized financing mix. · S&A costs grew 6%YoY - in line with revenue growth. · Other income declined 66%YoY on lower payouts from portfolio companies and one-off exchange gain recorded in SPLY which created a high base. However, the same was 13% ahead of our expectation possibly due to higher income on loan to subsidiary.
Sequentially, earnings increased by a meager 5%QoQ on seasonally higher other income (up 37%YoY), while core textile earnings declined 34%YoY due to margin attrition (247bpsQoQ) at gross level. |
