Jubilant Foodworks opened 24 new Domino's outlets in April-June, taking the total count to 489 stores across 110 cities as of June 30. It also opened three Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in Delhi during the quarter.

"We are on track with expansion plans and are also dedicating our efforts towards menu development and innovation, marketing and customer service initiatives. We will continue to leverage the power of our brands to achieve our goals and remain focused on creating sustainable growth over the long term," said Ajay Kaul, CEO.

The company has scaled up its Domino's Pizza chain expansion plans and now aims to open 100 outlets this financial year, up from 90 it had planned earlier.

It will also open 5-6 Domino's stores in Sri Lanka by March 2013 and has a target to open 25-30 outlets over the next 5 years.

Jubilant Foodworks also said it will scale up Dunkin' Donuts brand in a systematic manner over a period of time. It has a plan to launch around 10 restaurants selling Dunkin' Donuts, coffee and many made for India products. Over five years, it will open 80-100 Dunkin' Donuts outlets in India.

YES Bank Q1 net up 34% at Rs 290 cr on higher other income


Private sector lender YES Bank 's first quarter (April-June) net profit grew forecast beating 34% year-on-year to Rs 290 crore, aided by a whopping rise in the other income that upped 74% to Rs 288 crore during the three-month period.

Credit substitute (CS) is form of lending wherein the bank subscribes to non-convertible debenture or corporate bond issues of rated companies. The pace of loan growth in both the categories suggests that the bank is focussing more on CSs to ramp up its advances.

"Bank has adopted a cautious approach to lending given the economic environment and hence the current loan mix stands at: Corporate & Institutional Banking accounting for 64.0% of the loan portfolio, Commercial Banking 20.2% and Branch Banking 15.8%," the lender wrote in a release.

Net NPA ratio too was up at 0.06% compared with 0.01% in Q4, FY12 and 0.05% in Q1, FY12.

Total deposits rose 15% to Rs 50,210 crore. The current and savings account  (CASA) deposits shot up about 72% to Rs 8,170 crore. Consequently, the share of CASA to total deposits rose to 16.3% from 10.9% a year ago. Currently, Yes Bank is offering a maximum 7% rate of interest in its savings account deposits. It is so far, highest in the industry.

Ashok Leyland Q1 net down 22% on higher expenses, ad spends


India's second largest commercial vehicle maker Ashok Leyland  missed street estimates on Tuesday with a net profit of Rs 67 crore, down 22% year-on-year due to rising costs and higher spends on advertising and promotion.

Its quarterly revenue rose 20% to Rs 3,007 crore, helped by strong sales growth, especially of its small commercial vehicle Dost, which is made in partnership with Japan's Nissan.

Analysts on an average had expected Ashok Leyland to report net profit of Rs 84 crore on net sales at Rs 3,036 crore, according to a CNBC-TV18 poll.

While LCV sales have been strong, most CV makers have seen slow growth in the heavy truck segment, as fleet operators have postponed purchases amid slowing economy.

The Hinduja Group company had sold 27,487 units in April-June quarter, up 43% from a year ago. While domestic sales rose 3.5% to 17,335 units, exports were up 14% to 2,904 units.

"Even while the total industry volume in India dipped by 12%, we were able to increase our market share by 3.8%. Dost did very well, achieving 21% market share in the first 9 months of sales," said Vinod Dasari, MD.

The company's profit was, however, impacted by higher expenses. Employee costs were up 7% to Rs 268 crore, depreciation rose 5% to Rs 89 crore and other expenses jumped 50% to Rs 310 crore due to higher sales overheads.

More over, the company's aggressive advertising and marketing push also hurt bottomline.
"Our profits have taken a hit largely because of the robust brand building and marketing initiatives that we kicked off during the quarter including the signing on of Mahendra Singh Dhoni as our brand ambassador. In addition, we were also hit by spiraling power costs," Dasari said.

The market outlook remains tepid but the company is cautiously optimistic of the coming months.
"We will focus on introducing a slew of new products that the market is waiting for, keep building our network and continue our brand building efforts to maintain and improve our market share," he said.

Ashok Leyland shares ended down 2.1% at Rs 23.30 on NSE on Tuesday.
