October 24, 2019 (MLN): Millat Tractors Limited has posted net earnings of Rs. 456 million (Rs. 10.3) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, i.e. 65% lower than the numbers o same period last year.

The topline earnings of the company fell by around 45.6% despite increase in the prices of tractors. This fall in revenue can be attributed to decline in volumetric sales.

Similarly, the gross profits of the company fell by 53.3% owing to local currency devaluation which led to higher input costs.

Going by the analysis done by Darson Securities, the non-core income of the company also declined by a considerable margin due to fall in dividend income from subsidiaries as well as lower interest income from bank deposits.

It is pertinent to note that the results of the company were in line with market expectations.
