April 23, 2020 (MLN): Pak Suzuki Motor Company has once again incurred losses for the quarter ended March 30, 2020, amounting to nearly Rs. 941 million (LPS: Rs. 11), i.e. 4% lower than the losses of same period last year.

The topline income of the company fell by 48%, owing to the decline in demand witnessed during the period, which in turn was a result of higher prices and economic slowdown.

The finance costs of the company depicted a twofold growth, due to the rise in short-term borrowing requirements from rising inventory levels.

However, the company did receive some relief in the form of tax credit, which amounted to Rs. 384 million during the quarter.
