Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) Limited has posted a profit of Rs. 3.21 billion for the quarter that ended on March 31, the financial year 2022-23, down by 37.1 percent as compared to a profit of Rs. 5.11 billion in the same period last year. Advertisement Meanwhile, the car maker’s profit increased by 142 percent on a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis, attributed to an improvement of 730 basis points in gross margins which resulted in an operating profit after two consecutive quarterly operating losses in FY22, according to Arif Habib Limited (AHL). Along with the result, the company has also announced an interim cash dividend of Rs. 24.4 per share. Net sales of the company decreased by 29 percent to Rs. 48.19 billion as compared to Rs. 68.2 billion primarily due to lower volumetric sales. The company faced additional challenges from massive inflationary pressures that adversely affected consumer purchasing power. Gross margins returned to the green zone following two consecutive quarters of negative gross margins, arriving at 6.3 percent as against -1.0 percent in the preceding quarter. This can be attributed to multiple price hikes during the quarter by the company to combat cost pressures, according to Ismail Iqbal Securities.
Pak Suzuki’s woes continue with the announcement of another NPD (non-production days) schedule as the company battles with depleting inventory levels due to the restrictions on imports imposed by the government. This is overall the 7th NPD schedule announced by the company within the conclusion of the first 4 months of this calendar year. Pak Suzuki began observing NPDs in August of last year taking the total number of NPDs since then beyond 70, the worst period after the COVID-19 lockdowns in year 2020. Suzuki Notice Apr In the latest notice sent to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company cited inventory deficiencies as the reason for its vehicle as well as motorcycle assembly plant shutdown, which will take place from May 2 to May 9, 2023. Pak Suzuki recently reported its highest-ever loss after tax (LAT) of Rs 12.91 billion in the first quarter of 2023. This further demonstrates the precarious situation of our import-dependent auto industry, as the country’s largest assembly plant appears to be battling for its survival. For assemblers, the lifeline seems to be there in the resumption of imports, which doesn’t seem to be a priority of the government considering the massive outflow of foreign reserves it will suffer as a consequence.
