January 24, 2019 (MLN): HinoPak Motors Limited has disclosed after-tax losses of Rs. 687 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, in a notification issued to Pakistan Stock Exchange. The losses incurred can be attributed to a huge drop in sales and substantial increase in the company’s finance cost.  

During the quarter, HINO observed 27% decline in sales (Rs.4.3 billion) while its gross profits (Rs.207.6 million) dropped by 63%.

Adding to the woes, overall expenses rose while non-core income (Rs.17.2 million) observed an 87% decline. Coupled with a substantial upswing (172%) in finance cost (Rs.658.2 million), this caused the company to bear a pre-tax loss worth Rs. 625.7 million.

The company reported its Loss per share at Rs. 55.44, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.
