October 28, 2020 (MLN): Atlas Honda Limited’s earnings for the half-year ended September 30, 2020, stood at Rs. 885.3 million (EPS: 7.14), showing a decline of 37% as compared to the same period of last year. The company also announced an interim cash dividend for the period at Rs. 4 per share i.e. 40%.

The decline in earnings resulted from a 34% drop in gross profits, which in turn resulted from a 19% decline in net revenue.

The profits took a further hit from a 97% increase in finance costs, despite there being a fall in the policy rate during the period. The presence of share of losses from associates further added to the company’s misery.

However, some respite was drawn from a 10.5% growth in other income, as well as a 16% decline in non-core expenses.
