Punj Lloyd net loss at Rs 17.92 cr in Q2


Leading infrastructure firm Punj Lloyd today reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 17.92 crore for the July-September quarter, largely due to over 36 per cent increase in its finance outgo.

"We are focusing on bringing down working capital and debt to improve profitability. However, in current scenario, this is expected to take some time. Improvement in the receivables will help us in managing our working capital," a separate company statement quoted Chairman Atul Punj as saying. The Punj Lloyd chairman also said that "the macro environment continues to be challenging both domestically and internationally with high interest rates, volatile input costs, liquidity concerns and currency volatility. We are trading carefully...”

Besides, company's auditor Walker, Chandiok & Co observed in its review report that Punj Lloyd's current assets as of September 30, 2012, includes dues representing claims of Rs 243.03 crore recognized during the earlier years and liquidated damages of Rs 7.30 crore deducted by the customer. "In view of the uncertainty over the ultimate outcome of the matter, we are unable to comment on ultimate collection and recoverability of the same and its impact, if any, on the financial results for the period ended September 30, 2012," the auditor said.

Commenting on the auditor's observation, the company said that the matter is disputed and Punj Lloyd and its customer, ONGC, has referred the issue to an Outside Expert Committee "which is likely to resolve the issue in an expeditious manner". The auditor has also drawn attention to an amount of Rs 58.02 crore, withheld by a customer, but carried by the company as trade receivables.

On this issue, the company said that its management is taking appropriate steps for recovery of the money and "believes that these accounts are fairly stated".

IOC posts net profit of Rs 9,611 cr in Jul-Sept qtr


State-owned Indian Oil Corp (IOC) today reported a net profit of Rs 9,611 crore in the quarter ended September 30, after the government paid a lumpsum fuel subsidy. The company had posted a net loss of Rs 7,485 crore in the same period a year ago.


IOC, which reported the largest quarterly net loss by a corporate in the June quarter at Rs 22,451 crore as it did not get any fuel subsidy from the government, received a lumpsum Rs 16,094 crore compensation for the first half a couple of days to enable the company to make profit in Q2.


"The compensation we received is short of Rs 29,729 crore that was needed to bridge the gap between retail price and cost," IOC Chairman R S Butola told reporters here. After accounting for assistance from upstream firms like ONGC, there is still an unmet revenue loss of Rs 13,635.16 crore, he said.


For the first half (April-September) of the current fiscal, it has reported a net loss of Rs 12,839.60 crore. IOC and other state-owned fuel retailers Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) sell diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene at government controlled rates which are way lower than cost. The losses they incur are met through a combination of cash subsidy from the government and assistance from upstream firms like ONGC. Butola said the companies currently incur Rs 9.84 per litre loss on diesel, Rs 31.30 a litre in kerosene and Rs 478.50 per 14.2-kg LPG cylinder.


"At current prices, IOC will end the fiscal will an under-recovery (revenue loss) of Rs 86,357 crore. Industry will have an under-recovery of Rs 161,000 crore," he said. The company's borrowing have jumped to Rs 96,000 crore from Rs 75,447 crore at the end of March, he said.


The profits were also higher because of higher refining margin. IOC earned USD 5.15 on turning every barrel of crude oil into fuel in July-September quarter as against a gross refining margin of USD 2.76 per barrel a year ago. The company in the first quarter had a negative GRM of USD 4.81 per barrel.


"If the cash subsidy we received is prorated, the loss in Q1 would have come down to Rs 13,504 crore," he said adding similarly the July-September quarter profit should have been only Rs 664 crore. If all the under-recovery was met by the government, IOC would have posted a net loss of Rs 4,966 crore in Q1 and Rs 5,761 crore net profit in Q2.


Net sales rose to Rs 105,791.29 crore in July-September quarter from Rs 81,409.96 crore in the same period last fiscal.

A brokerage poll by CNBC Awaaz had expected the second quarter net profit at Rs 3,615.1 crore, up 29% y-o-y and NII more than 12% to Rs 11,680 crore on standalone basis.

The bank expanded its standalone loan book by more than 17% y-o-y to Rs 9.27 lakh crore surpassing RBI's (revised) projected industry credit growth at 16% in 2012-13. Net interest margin (NIM) rose by 20 basis points quarter-on-quarter to 3.77%.

Gross non-performing asset (NPA) ratio increased to 5.15% as against 4.99% in Q1, FY13 and 4.19% in Q2, FY12. Net NPA ratio was at 2.44% compared with 2.22% in the previous quarter. During the quarter, total gross NPAs stood at Rs 49,202 crore while net NPAs at Rs 22,614 crore.

When a borrower fails to repay his loans and asks for relaxation of original terms and conditions, it is called restructuring of loans. Slippages come up when the status of standard performing loans slips into non-performing category.

"During the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2012; the bank has made additional provisions of Rs 115 crore (net) and Rs 1,010 crore respectively against (i) an account pending restructuring and (ii) against certain non-performing domestic advances," SBI said in a statement sent to the stock exchanges.
