January 23, 2020 (MLN): Honda Atlas (Pakistan) Cars Limited has suffered a 73.54% decline in its net earnings, as suggested by the latest financial report issued to the Pakistan Stock Exchange by the company on Thursday.

According to the report, the company’s earnings for the nine months period ended on December 31, 2019, stood at Rs. 710.1 million (EPS: Rs. 4.97), as opposed to Rs. 2.68 billion (EPS: Rs. 18.78) reported in same period of last year.

As quite apparent from the table below, the decline in earnings came mainly from lower sales revenue, along with substantial decline in non-core income, despite attempts by the company to recover recuperate revenue via higher prices. Without any doubt, the sales revenue were dented by falling volumetric sales.

On the brighter end, the company saw a 44.8% reduction in cost of sales on the back of stability in the PKR-USD exchange rate, as well as company’s ability to pass on the impact of unfavorable factors on to the consumers.

It may be pertinent to note that the performance of the company was in line with the market expectations, wherein most of the market observers were sure of a colossal decline in net income owing to deterioration in demand.
