November 12, 2018 (MLN): Honda Atlas Cars have reported their half yearly earnings for the period ended September 30, 2018, at a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.2 billion (-43%), while earnings per share have logged in at Rs.14.57 per share.

An official report on the company’s profit and loss statement shows that such a substantial decline in profit growth is the result of drastic expansion in cost of sales (Rs.45.9 billion, up by 20%) and in net operational expenses, which have logged in at Rs.539 million (+178%).

Although Honda Atlas Cars’ sales for the period went up by 13%, as compared to the corresponding period last year, the above mentioned components weighed down overall profits, enough to not only arrest profit growth, but to change it into a decline.
